Just back

1. Clifton is not a wing back or a full back.
2. Hall-Johnson is not a left footed footballer (why not Fox?)
3. Cook is not a striker (why not Vernam?)
4. Grey is a excrement colour for a goalie kit
5. We have just been completely outplayed by a club whose lack of fans is embarrassing.
6. How much have we got left in the piggybank?

Think im in the minority but i thought woolford did okay. The only who tried to create something

I said ages ago that we didn't have the players to play 3-5-2 and got a lot of flak for it. I stand by it. None of our full backs, except maybe RHJ are suited to it giving us no width at all. I don't know why Jolley didn't plan on sticking with the 4-2-3-1 which worked so well at the end of last season. The defence will be more comfortable, we'll have enough men in the middle of the pitch to be competitive, we'll get the best out of Hooper coming in from the left and on the right we could put Clifton but could probably do with buying another wide player or two. 3-5-2 is great if everyone knows their roles and the players are suited to it. Clearly we didn't know our roles and we're not suited to it.

Why would you play Dixon after not playing him in pre-season? Why did Hessenthaler not play? Clifton is not a RB and had a shocker.

Not j7mping on the bandwagon but when FGR players have the time to take 3 and 4 touches in midfield without any pressure they will look good. Thought that Welsh,as captain and holding midfielder, should be shouting at the players in front of him.
Rose worked hard but Woolford gave nothing. If we are to play a holding midfielder we need some energy to go forward and press the ball.
I don't see Cook as a number 9 but possibly along with Vernam as sitting behind a main striker.
Wing backs do not work without players that can both tackle and have loads of pace.
I look forward to changes for the next game

I'm going for the one and only positive from that debacle, and is that we were soooo bad none of them are going to get away with another display like that and therefore our shortcomings can't be papered over and will (or at least should be) addressed sooner rather than later.
That's all I've got.

  

I think 352 is too easy to nullify even if you have some of the best players in the league. Granted forest green were standing off by that point, but the players looked more comfortable instantly.

3-5-2 won’t see out September. Clifton is a fine footballer but he was run ragged today. Hoof ball is pointless when you’ve Cook and Hooper up front.

Like everyone else, I’m just gobsmacked.

Thing is we got no wingers in the building so im pretty sure we will see this 352 for a while yet..

He has put all his eggs in one basket with this formation.

We made the veggies look like World beaters, need a complete rethink for next week, why play a team that had no previous pre season game time.

Shocking! still got plenty of time to improve though, first job buy Macca anew kit
