If Bailey not fit Jennings.


Think we should give 4-4-2 a run at home?

Willis as they depend totally on pace.

Also Bailey would told specifically to follow the bold fat play maker everywhere and hurt him.

Another 4-4-2er...

I'm just curious WHY you'd want to play 4-4-2, despite all the reason we shouldn't play it...

I've explained in many threads, with no one saying why we should play it. Ball is in the 4-4-2 court.

... My mistake, I has missed that story.

He won't start anyway, not good enough yet, send him to a high NL or L2 club to get exp?

Ok sorry SBT not read all of your threads.. not a stalker!
OK...
Fundamentally I think Clarke would benefit from a playing partner because of the kind of player he appears to be...not reason enough I know to rip up the whole blue print.. but I think the team needs to impose itself in an attacking sense at home. 4321.. or 4411 I think leaves us short of the attacking impetuous?

Think we need to give elliott a start alongside Clarke. They could form a useful partnership.

451/4231 is not working at home so we need to try something different and I've a feeling that MR will go with 442 tomorrow.

I think so too... think Elliot worth a shot....bundles of energy... seems to make a difference albeit only cameo roles to date...

Ok, answer this, you think we should impose ourselves at home? How will 4-4-2 do that?

Out of the 5 games we have lost at home this season, we have played 4-4-2 in 4 of those, Scunny, Stevenage, Notts County, Shrews (we conceded after Clarke came on, and we went 4-4-2 when LC came on). We have, however, won more games at home playing 4-4-2 2 of 3, Crawley and Bournemouth (we did originally play 1 striker, so if you don't count Shrewsbury as a lost, I'll take Bournemouth from the win, simple). Bear this in mind, the 1 loss at home, was v Carlisle, MR's 1st game, and fans are in agreement that this should be, in a sense, be attributed to Shaw, as the damage had been done and we were so low on confidence, so in a sense, we haven't lost playing 1 upfront yet. We have drew to Pompey, MK, PNE, 2 of which aren't bad sides (MK & Pompey ) under MR. Don't get me wrong, our home needs to improve, but I don't think playing 4-4-2 will achieve anything. Especially when you see what MR said about 4-4-2 and the obvious weaknesses (I know it has positives as well) it is primarily a defensive formation...

I think you'll find 4-4-2 doesn't work at home, 4 of 5 (80%) home losses have come playing 4-4-2...

I don't expect him to start tomorrow MR will stick with the tried and trusted.
But this would be my team to try and stuff out their pace.

I think the calls for 442 come mainly from people wishing to give Elliott a starting role which is understandable, not because they think it is a particularly good formation

Maybe we could go to a proper 433 with Sheff--Clarke--Elliott all basically as strikers, would mean Baker would likely be dropped though which would be a big decision

But yes 5-7 of our squad need to go out on loan to league 2. Especially the kids they are not getting used.

Front 3 would have to be: Baker Clarke Moussa

Sheff has scored too little to start...

Baker and Moussa are primarily midfielders, it would be no different to what we are playing now

I'm talking about playing basically 3 strikers who stay high up the pitch, one central an two wide

Murphy
J. Clarke Wood Edjenguele Adams
Baker Jennings Sheffers Moussa
Elliott L. Clarke

Subs ; Dunn, Cameron, Christie, Bell, Barton, Wilson, Ball

I just think that we need a bit more depth in the attack. Elliott still hasnt been given a chance which i think is a footballing crime and Clarkey cant do it all on his own yet, so why not play both? Elliotts power to get thru the defense and Clarke's positioning will set us right. If we do this i can see us coming away with a 2-1 win, but i cant see Robins changing it
