Well 442 it is!

Good point; it gets dark pretty early that far north.

Right; that team sheet suggests El Spaniardo hasn’t quite got his wish but I’ve wanted to the pig in the Will Keane no10 role for weeks so I’ve invested 11 hard earned euros to watch this from behind the sofa…

I’d expect that 442 might hand Hampys prediction on a plate against an even slicker, fired up, Wigan 4231 than we suffered at Bolton, also a Cook inspired 4231. they’ve been drilled all season in 4231. If you scrap it and go away to a top team with a completely nee system hoping they’ll find...

The crumb of comfort in that piece for me was the point about how they had a mid table budget and a mid to upper mid position which any board with its head screwed on right knows is pound for pound a fair return. Managers aren’t miracle workers. in our case we have a lot of championship players...

I love you!

they dont conceded many and they score quite a few. they play well, as a team, have everything to play for being at the top end of the table and they're at home. its all the opposite case for us. which is a bad combo. 3-0 (if we're lucky).

i think we'll have to stick with the 4231 for now. ITFC made a good shout for a team lining up with 532 using Burns and Coulson as wingbacks. the problem is-neither are fit; not tomorrow and re coulson maybe never. so its hard to make an immediate formation change without the correct players...

i really think we've sacked Cook too soon. this lot are not going to get us promoted any quicker than Cook might have done had he had Jan to make some changes. he never pretended they were doing better than they were. He knew what needed to be done and the players have said publicly its their...

With a few suggestions we move to 3 at the back be good to know what people want as a team sheet and the effect on the rest of the squad. for me a 352 would be: Walton, with burgess left cd, Edmundson middle, wolf or JD right cd. Morsy, evans and Fraser. wingbacks Penney and burns with a...

Our main issues lie in the playing and coaching rather than MA. For how. As Nuggets says he’s done a lot in a very short space of time and all the big signings we’re cooks; lots we’re his ex players so had to be. in terms of charlron game : JM made two weird decisions: 1) he played a...

I have a feeling we will get warnoick. He’s available(cheap no contract to buy out), proven and has some relationships with two of our players in Morsy and coulson. Don’t think he fell out with them. best of a bad bunch for me.

Just read the match reports and watched some footage. Our poorest performance so far. what did u guys make of some fans turning nasty towards the team at the end? there’s not much love or connection between fans with these players yet and it’s hard to know how that might happen if the...

Damn. Another totally underwhelming game with misfiring players. thd Bristol city fans did warn us he’d be like this. But at some point, if he wants the limelight he’s got to get his managerial and player recruitments right: he took a lot of credit for bringing these guys in. otherwise the...

I can see Mick nodding his head in approval Bucky :) Do u reckon we should go all out still?

Given the lack of players in the full back positions for 4231 to work well I suspect he might use 3 at the back for extra cover and let the full backs go forward with more confidence. Be interesting to see what the midfield and forward line looks like. I think he’ll want a less flashy team that...

This is what JMs wiki entry says about his tactics and style: Management styleEdit McGreal has a reputation for playing "attacking, free-flowing" football with a "fluid 4–2–3–1 system".[74][75] He is able to work alongside a director of football or head of recruitment and work with and develop...

Yes it probably is. After all I wouldn’t say ‘don’t appoint a coloured manager in case he gets racially abused’ so it’s a fair point. It doesn’t stop me feeling very uncomfortable at what could transpire with such a radical appointment and it’s more to do with the idea of growing the nimber of...

Interesting how Morsy said in the eadt piece that the coaches were as good as any he’s worked with and that basically the players simply hadn’t turned up enough.

Can’t be a female. Sorry. I want women to manage the men’s pro teams because it’s an untapped resource of talent. But it’s too soon to try that with us now. And I can’t bear the extra abuse they’d get from the weirdos and low lives. We’ve already seen some tough to watch footage of Troy and he’s...
