Throughthelaces Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 For me the line up should be Oxborough Johnson, mcginn, the new cb, furlong. mckinstry, spittal, Cornelius, Ollie aitchison, VV id give that a run of games in a 442 see how we get on can’t possibly get much worse can it. lamie and Kelly are both so off form as far as I’m concerned the second Beevis is fit I’d have him in Lamies place. Kelly I think a spell out the team may actually help him at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 I was thinking 4-4-2 as well but with Danzaki instead of Spittal as he's much more mobile and possibly Obika instead of KvV. The old school little and large pairing upfront is something that is worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make changes there you'd be shoehorning someone else in and putting a square peg in a round hole. Change for the sake of change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think we need a 2 up top system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought Lamie played ok on Wed night. Kelly not been as good as last season but he’s hardly making blunders, and we’ve no idea how good/bad Oxborough is.

I’d be matching up in the midfield with a hard press as we did earlier in the season. Regardless of our current form, opportunity to use the crowd in our favour. And no McGinn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thought process with Lamie is he switches off at silly parts of the game look at some of the goals we’ve shipped and he’s at fault. I don’t rate him. The most basic thing is to stay switched on is expect that of a 28 year old cb. As for Kelly I know he’s not making blunders but he’s not filling anyone with confidence in his general performance and his distribution. Only one way to find out how good or bad oxborough is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formations are easily flexed 442 goes to 451 or 443 or 4231 without ball. Van veen has been far too isolated recently in way team has been set up. Lots of teams are playing 442 again like Fulham last night , aston villa , few in world cup etc. Its all down to what players do with and without ball more than formations imo I'm with you on same ploy as earlier in season where it was certainly our best performance of season for what I can remember. Can our players do that again now their confidence is as low ? Don't understand your no mcginn. We have no one else to play there I don't think. If its him or furlong or odonnell then I want him.

As is the usual for Lamie, he switched off so many times and couldn’t pass water. It was embarrassing and continually put us on the back foot.

It really isn’t difficult. He’s symptomatic of the shite produced. Lauded as a steady 7/10 week to week when he signed yet, he’s never hit that height. Furlong signed as a left back and you’d shoehorn the ineffective McGinn? Based on what? Arbroath? Skewed thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, but it's not every game you're playing against another team devoid of confidence with a large home support just looking for an excuse to get on their backs. And let's face it, going behind to us right now is the perfect excuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember him getting torn to bits by any wingers. Not saying he's been outstanding either. Furlong has only played u23 football . All about opinions.

grizzlyg Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 No idea what midfield will be today but with butcher signed hopefully it makes them realise place under threat so they will need to up their game, this applies mainly to Slattery and Goss. Oh please give us 3pts today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goss - very similar to how Polworth was. Decent skill but not enough to offset his lack of defensive skill or effort. Slattery - I'm really not sure what he offers. Don't think he's suited to a flat 3 man midfield. Spittal - I'd prefer Cornelius or Tierney . Not sure why we signed him Overall the balance needs some work. We have lots of attack minded players, for next few games Id prefer to see more in midfield and win the battles. A few mentioned 3-5-2 that flips into 5-3-2. Can see that helping - albeit we need a lot more aggression and effort from the 11 men we send out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
