Quoted from LondonMariner43
No Neilsen?

Not in a 4-4-2, I guess Mackreth's a better winger. (though not convinced so reserve judgement)
You'll see I'm waffling on about Neilson in the just back thread...

I agree we have a squad that contains too many permutations to have one single best eleven. We have the luxury of width for a 4-4-2 with mackreth, arnold and neilson, and, the ability to play a proper 4-3-3 with our flexible squad. The biggest decision comes with which formation to play against which team, and at home or away. I think along with the insane injury list we started the season with ( in no small part PH responsibilty ) the choice of formation has and will continue to be the defining issue, if PH has all or most of his squad available, choosing the in form ones, in the right formation, will have us there or there abouts. I'm confident of that. If the injuries continue and PH sticks with formations that struggle against the lower "happy for a draw" teams then we won't.


I was there, the day Bradley Wood scored a 35 yarder!

Coz we are Grimsby.

You won't hear us crying
But you'll hear us shout
Coz we are the Grimsby
And this is our chant.......... Grimsby! Grimsby! Grimsby!

It is interesting to read about utilising both 4-4-2 and 4-3-3 systems dependant on who is available or who the opposition is. It's not that long ago that fans were saying we couldn't play 4-3-3 and PH was " a clown " to use it. It just goes to show how one or two additions to the squad can make all the difference to how adaptable a squad we have.

It would be great tio play every game with the strongest and most adaptable team.

We do need a fluid squad that can come in when we have injuries / suspensions, so we need 16 equal players so that we can rotate formations, cover for any eventualities, and stay pacey enough to outwit teams who lay down foundations in their own half.

Parslow returning would be a real bonus if it could be sorted, Boyce is playing regularly now, so no chance there, Brown will be a certain starter once fit again and should be stronger and faster than Disley in that position.

Clay & Brown together have changed the midfield this year - at last some power at the heart of the team.

Disley can still be really valuable as a super sub or occasional player and will score goals in cameo roles, I'm sure !

we seem to be playing better in the 4-1-4-1 which kind of goes into a 4-3-3.

For me LJL plays better in a 4-3-3 or should I say seems more comfortable,  I like pittman and would like to see him play too but in a 4-3-3 with the just one striker it is going to be hard to dislodge benteke LJL.

With so many options available to us,

It should be what is our best 14,

Starting 11 and 3 subs.

We would start with a different formation for home games than when we play away.
