I think we’ll go to 3-4-3 for this one. Away from home in particular this season, we’ve shifted to a counter attacking team. Possibly, match our rapid front 3 with their slow back 3.

It’s a complete 180 from last season where we were happy to pass side to side whilst team put 10 men behind the ball. Last seasons away form skid mark from March has potentially been transformative for us.

I want to see big Ellis with BTA and Wright running past him. Reckon they’d cause havoc and weirdly I reckon he’s the best providing central forward we have with Rudoni out.

Course they are, when it suits. It always happens regardless of whether ours do.

maybe that’s why it feels like they can’t, as ours never do

Either that or they get a bollocking and Disney want the story to be how they bounce back to beat the top of the league team.

I know they were chasing the game there Wrexham so inclined to go long, but it really reminded of Parkinson's Bradford team the one we drew 3-3 with. Only they had James Hanson not Moore. That long diagonal ball.

With how slow their midfield and defence are especially.

Agreed. For some reason I’m anxious about this one. Wrexham’s home form has been average, they’ve got a 3 game week and our away form has been flawless… Naturally, this is where we drop points.

If we 7-9 points before the international break, I’ll be fully convinced we’re going up automatically. @shmmeee’s Gemini summary has definitely shown we have good reasons to be fully optimistic.

I hope they get relegated. Dislike Welsh clubs in the EFL as a whole, but their arrogance makes them unbearable to be honest.

Hoping Blues and Wrexham get a bloody nose and banished to shadow realm (L1).

They certainly looked better v boro the other night than they did tonight. We've still got the beating of them though. I dont think there's a player in their starting 11 that would start ahead of ours. Maybe Doyle ahead of Thomas before he got unfit and lost form. Other than that, nobody.

They have one way of playing. Play it long to Moore and feed of scraps. That is plan A, B, C

For fuck sake, these are absolutely shite and we should rip them apart. Judging by that performance against a lower league team, this fretting on here makes no sense to me.

I don't want to see any conservative formations either. Go at them with the normal set up. There's no need to go 5 at the back and offer them that much respect. Do our thing and I am sure we are going to leave their fans booing again.

A team stacked with players who all joined for the money and a fan base entitled from having completely taken the piss in the lower leagues.

They can piss off quite frankly.

They have 4 of our players from 3/4 years back and none have improved, so that makes sense.

We are a bit light in central midfield but that money for Sheaf looks even better business now.

@Bugsy in short, @shmmeee did a Gemini summary of teams who were top of the Championship after 12 games. 15/20 were promoted automatically.

Last season, Sunderland were the first team to be top after 12 games and go up via the playoffs.

As a percentage, that’s 76.2% of teams top after 12 games go up. The hype is real and the betting markets have shortened our odds massively.
