Well, hold on a minute I didn’t say 442 I just said we need two up front because one ain’t doing it,and we haven’t got a lead striker also Theo is far better playing in an attacking position. And for those who think that 442 is outdated then 433,5311,3511 ain’t doing it either at the moment. Easy to criticise when you haven’t come up with a credible alternative. And if playing a big man and little man up front mean we win more games then I’m all for it. 235 if you played that formation the opposition wouldn’t know who and how to mark that excellent idea.

I think the confidence and team spirit has gone. I dont like the formations/lineup either.

Re: Do we Play to win ?
Yes you have a very good point and that’s one of my points plus I’ve been observing the keeper. He’s not vocal enough for me, he has a better view than most to see what’s happening in front of him,Vigs was more experienced and was a permanent signing,Bryn is young and will bugger off at the end of the season no matter what. Not that I’m saying he’s a bad keeper but lacks experience.Long slender neck wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2023 11:17 am I think the confidence and team spirit has gone.

Re: Do we Play to win ?
I agree entirely. Do you pick your formation and choose your players or look at what’s available and pick your formation? I favour the latter right now. We need to change something.Long slender neck wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2023 11:17 am I think the confidence and team spirit has gone. I dont like the formations/lineup either.

Re: Do we Play to win ?
Putting square pegs in round holes ain’t going to work gentlemen,playing Theo as wing back isn’t his best position, playing Drinan up front was like playing with 10 men,to many players were brought in who play in a similar way,Brown,Miz and Prats all the same, Sanders,Galbraith and Moncur to a certain extinct all the same. Think we may need to bring Beccles back but I worry about his pace.DrWindy wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2023 11:28 amI agree entirely.

Re: Do we Play to win ?
Think Theo has been playing as a wing back in fact he keeps swapping him from left sided and right side attacker and as left wingback I know Beckles is injured but he’s due back soon I believeLong slender neck wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2023 11:55 amNobody has suggested Theo as wingback.Monkey Boy wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2023 11:36 amPutting square pegs in round holes ain’t going to work gentlemen,playing Theo as wing back isn’t his best position, playing Drinan up front was like playing with 10 men,to many players were brought in who play in a similar way,Brown,Miz and Prats all the same, Sanders,Galbraith and Moncur to a certain extinct all the same.

Re: Do we Play to win ?
I don't think the opening post is such a 'daft' question because we play more for show. Don't get me wrong I love watching our play and having more possession of the ball than our opponents. But, like I've said before there's far too much emphasis on tippy tapping our way up to the penalty area and not enough emphasis on killer passes, movement and more bodies in the box. In other words rather than always looking good mix up our play a bit more.

Re: Do we Play to win ?
It is a daft question. He also calls our possession based approach 'tippy tappy' football, which is equally daft.Chief crazy horse wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2023 12:50 pm I don't think the opening post is such a 'daft' question because we play more for show.

Re: Do we Play to win ?
Amazing that 'playing more for show' can also get you 91 points in a season. Wanting to control the game isn't about vanity, it's a legitimate tactic that has brought us success, even if we're in poor form right now.
