Controversial perhaps but may have an ounce of truth in it. He has struggled this year with the pace of the league and the increase in quality of players going past him. May well turn out to be one of the favourites we'll need to let go in order to move forward.
Tough on Coulson. Pace has caught him out but he still commands at the back and I’d sooner have him play than not. And who do we replace him with?
January will have the answer for that but it'll cost £££. The amount of shoddy goals we concede inside the box suggests no one is commanding that area right now.

I see big defensive changes coming if Ekpiteta doesn't sign a new contract by then too.
No.

For every shoddy goal we have conceded around the six yard box, we have cleared a dozen. The centre halves are not to blame for teams targeting us with this deliberate ploy.

433 at home against Tiptree, we will see. Could be he will play 2 of the front three wide. 4321 sort of thing. I can’t go so I’ll be interested in how those that do see the formation. From his interview it seems like he is not relying on the main striker(s) for goals, rather having a system where goal chances can come from many sources. Well I think that’s what he said.

If so, I assume Brophy, Dayton, Dennis, JMD et al will be tasked at getting their share perhaps taking some of the weight off Harold, Wilkinson and Angol. Wonder if that’s what intensity means. Fast attacking on different fronts.

Could be exciting if it works. And hard for teams to play against.

A good workout tomorrow prior to the Main events of the next two home league games where his ideas should be clear.
Thanks for the insight.
I think red you have a problem. I’m trying hard to create genuine discussion points. No trying to get one up or trying to be some some sort of know it all. Yet you reply in a sarcastic way. You really do need to grow up mate. Pathetic is an apt word. Tbh if you can’t play nicely then f*** off.
No need for being offensive like that, is there.

Such offensive comments are more in keeping with MungO’s board.

Those that know how I work. I NEVER initiate bad comments. I ALWAYS respond to sarcasm and other stuff in kind.

The solution is simple. Keep comments civil. I have no objection to people taking the piss, I even do it to myself from time to time. But sometimes stuff gets tedious and boring and totally unnecessary when all we need is debate.

Sadly some on here seem to take every opportunity to have a dig. What do people expect from me? I’m not the take it on the chin quietly type.

Time for a truce?

You just did initiate the bad comments. Poor form, fella. Totally uncalled for.

No. That is clearly not the case. However, in the spirit of positive boarding, Red Army, if I offended you, I apologise.

I can do no more than be man enough to move forward in the right spirit.

Let’s hope that’s an end to all this stuff.

Given how good the opposition is I would start with a holding midfielder and a 30 something striker up front. Don't want to take any chances.

We haven’t got a holding midfielder, sadly.

It’s something I hope Fletcher deals with. A midfielder himself, Fletcher is ideally placed for analysing our weaknesses and strengths in this area and their ability to play in the system he wants to introduce.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Ling and the scouts are not already seeking a replacement, loan or permanent, with maybe the Marsh loan ending.

Fingers crossed.

3rd transfer window lucky perhaps, they can't do a much worse job than previous attempts at least

Ling starts, straight back in the team.

I think I'm beginning to have enough of him being selected over everyone in his position.

Looks like a 4-2-3-1. Wright and Clay as a double pivot, Dennis wide right, JMD in the 10, Brophy wide left and Harrold up top on his own.

You can only think that's due to Turley not being ready to do two games in a few days. Otherwise does make you wonder.

Interesting variation on the usual 4-3-3, gets 3 of our most dangerous players in the side so that's promising on paper at least.
