Did Ling pick the Team?

Post by ComeOnYouOs »

As soon as the team was announced, it was obvious it was a 4-3-3 formation, I had a suspicion Ling was involved.
This is Ling's favourite formation, and the formation that was used throughout Ross and Jobis tenure.
When there is a rookie manager involved, Ling feels his 'advice' is needed, and so I'm just asking the question.
I have no proof whatsoever, but just a suspicion.
Anyone else feel the same?

You could well be correct.

If we'd won, no way would you have come out with this.

Bizarre team selection really but you can easily put that down to a bloke who’s only been a coach for 5 minutes nevermind a manager.

Kyprianou playing is straight out of the "use the academy" playbook, how he gets anywhere near the squad let alone starting XI has been one of the mysteries of the season.

But Ogie is also out of the academy and was on the bench. As was young

It doesn't matter. Anyway no matter what formation we play our players are not good enough. One goal since Christmas speaks for itself . I'll already predict Tuesday night. It will be 3-0 to Colchester .

Did Ling ever play a 4-3-3 when he was manager? My recollection was a staunch 4-4-2 man.

I would say prove it. But seeing as we lost again, that’s not possible!

This is a scapegoat statement. Kyprianou did more than ok when we were doing well. We have certainly got more points per game with him than without him.

Still a weak link in the side even when others were covering him. Just seeing the lack of quality when what's come in to replace injured Clay is of an even lower standard.
