You gotta go 442

Post by Monkey Boy »

Yep I know I’m going to get stick and abuse, but the simple fact is we are not winning games trying every position known to man except 442. Yes I know it’s old fashioned and all the prem clubs use these new formations but we haven’t got prem players. Teams are getting round the back of us because our full backs are getting over loaded. We have no width going forward and the only winger we have is Theo and he’s getting moved here there and everywhere. Our so called front striker is getting marked by two CB’s every game and there’s never any O’S forward in the box when and if the ball is played there. I could elaborate more but just can’t stand the arguing on here all the time. Feel free to tell me how wrong I am but if you do? Please put forward your own thoughts and not just an ignorant reply as some do on here.

……………Brynn
Hunt Turns Happe Hunt
…………..Brown
…..El Miz……Galbraith
Ruel……..Agyei…..Archibald

I’d look at getting another striker and full back in January too. Cooper at CB if it was his earlier form.

Not suggesting you’re wrong but imo Ruel isn’t a wide player,is Agyei strong enough upfront on his own ? and I’m assuming you meant Hunt and James at fullback? But that’s my point those two are not strong enough and and wide players especially the better sides ie Wigan,Oxford and Derby are finding far to easy to get round,drawing our centre backs out of the middle. Thanks for the reply

We can only use the players we have. We have more players than expected who haven’t kicked on at this level and they’re going to have to be upgraded. I think that’s what RW is referring to when he says moving players around in Jan to free up money.

I would want Ruel and Agyei to swap positions during the match rather than the wide 2 staying wide. Have them a bit narrower and dropping off. Galbraith and El Miz like drifting out wide to free up space.
