McCarthy Mads Edwards wood manning Jander Charles Fellows Azaz scienza Armstrong 0-0 or 1-0 defeat. SR won’t do anything if we lose. They only pull the trigger when our season is well and truly over. This season is producing similar feelings to last season.
I’d have Archer over Armstrong. He can’t play centrally and we lose any form of a central attacking threat when he’s moved there in previous games
In a world where we actually develop into a good team, I think Fellows is the better option on the right than Armstrong because he's a better player imo and will be more involved in our attacking patterns of play. Armstrong however has to stay in the team for the moment because he is the most likely goal scorer we have, but he has to stay in the team coming off the right (or left). Archer is low on confidence, if he wasn't I'm sure he slots that 1v1 rather than just blasts it. I think we just have to give him a sustained run as our striker and it's not like he's keeping a better option out of the side. Don't think it's worth moving Armstrong from his strongest position to play centrally tbh, it may get Fellows in the team but it reduces Armstrongs goalscoring and we desperately need that right now. The obvious thing to try, as has been said many, many times on here is to bring in more creativity (and through balls which will suit Archer) into the middle of the pitch and that means dropping a CB and playing Azaz or Scienza as that number 10. I know it's been our woeful finishing and then awful moments of 'defending' at the back that have cost us results, but the problem isn't just that we are missing good chances, it's that we only create chances in short spells of a game. If we are struggling to put chances away, we just need to create as many chances as we can throughout games and with more chances we surely score a few more goals. Other than changing manager, bringing in a free-agent striker, or black magic, it's all we can do really so I hope we see it on Saturday.
