    From the Formation graphic, I can see plenty of trangles, and squares for the places to press in together.

    Hopefully put pressure on Redders to actually deliver something positive

    Ralph has watched the youngsters...good to see them be given hope. The Academy must be buzzing.

    If we press high, only Yoshie has any pace in the back three, the other two are dreadfully slow. Could get the full backs to tuck in instead of acting as wingers thus exposing our poor central defence

    According to pundits we are not expected to win.......so why not try different personal/ tactics....nothing to lose.

    I have watched the last couple of academy games and the lads are really playing well Johnson and Barnes are scoring, Slattery being very impressive as a no 10 and Vodkins being our next Class LB off the conveyor belt

    I have faith in Redders but he is very much a confidence player, our opponents always see him as a threat and double up on him.......hopefully Ralph has him chewing at the bit.

    Think a back 5 is a good shout with the defenders currently available to us, good to see Ings back too.

    Nice of Ralph to line up in the Christmas tree.

    Our CB’s are calamitous atm. Will having 3 increase the errors by 50% or reduce them?

    Good shout from Ralph, I say 5-2-3 go at them like a nun sandwich.
