I'd argue that means it matters even more. If we haven't got any players really capable of winning a game for us, then we need to have a system and a style that suits the strengths of our players in order to get as many points as possible.


Fair enough. I can't be bothered to think about it in any great detail myself.

I don't think Slade will change anything.

Exactly, just as the big man said the only point of changing things is if it's changing them for the better, and as it ain't broke why would we try and fix it.

The corners coming up fast and we are gonna turn it. We're gonna turn the excrement out of it. Change pfft.

Quoted from Abdul19
If we ever see a centre midfield of Summerfield, Dembele and Vernam I'll give John Fenty my car.



(like his it's got a big scratch)


But unless you paid £80k for it's not as important.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Indeed- will be the same starting 11 who will start ok- go a goal down after 15-20 mins and then it'll be business as usual

All this talk of being open to change in the telewag. Would a change of formation be an option for us, not only to stiffen up the midfield but to increase our attacking threat.
Perhaps a 3-5-2 formation with wing backs.  This would allow us to get Dembele in a more central position and arguably more involved with play, a front two with Jones alongside Matt instead of hanging behind and Woolford back where he belongs, back on the bench.

                                Kean

         Osbourne      Clarke       Collins

Mills                   Summerfield                   Davies

              Dembele                Vernum

                   Jones           Matt

thoughts??


I said when someone else posted something similar, the last time Davies played wide as a wing back we got stuffed at Crewe last season.

Surely Jones would swap with Vernum? I worry about Davies, he's been fine at left back but don't think he can really do wing back at 36. To be honest 4-4-2 is fine as long you play Jones in midfield and DJ on the wing and buy a better striker.

The main change of formation I would like to see however isn't on the pitch but rather in the dugout, Slade and Wilko out of it!

If Slade ever switches to a 3 man midfield after selling Osbourne then can we take it for granted he Actually has lost his marbles.

Polishing a turd with this current squad. I would drop the keeper for killip  and Collins would start. Midfield 2 rose and summer field. DJ and dembele on wings, Matt and Vernon up front , woolford and Vernon, Dixon and Kelly to carry kit if enough space on the bus

I'd try 4-2-3-1 with Summerfield and Rose as the two. I'd also try desperately to get the two or three quality players the squad needs. Silk purse sow's ear really.
