Funny how the people complaining loudest at 3-5-2 are the ones who spent years screaming at Hurst to “change it”.


Hurst played 4-4-1-1 more than anything. Think back to the times the Fishy was full of complaints about Town  having a lone striker miles apart from everyone else. Even when we had Podge and Bogle he seemed to prefer to play a loanee instead.

What Bignot was trying to play is anyone’s guess.

Personally I like 4-3-3 because it gives options that lead to more of a passing game and still lets you have attacking full backs. But 4-4-2 is the easiest to play and get results with at our level and that is what matters most.

I don't think it's the system that's the problem, it's having the players to fit in it!

Jolley shouldn't be trying to play it then until he has

Agree with that. Based on what we currently have I think we are suited to 4-3-3 given that the only winger on the books plays for Boston.

McKeown
Hendrie Davis Öhman Ring
Clifton Hess Embleton
Vernam Dennis Thomas

Rome wasn't built in a day and one more win would ensure we have made marginal progress from a points perspective.  By the time next season starts, MJ will have been manager for 17 months and 56 League 2 games so he should have a much better understanding of what is required to progress this team. If we start next season similar to how we started this season, he will be lucky to see 10 games.

It appears that his comment on Saturday about needing to be ruthless was about Thomas (and maybe others but I wasn't there).

I'd consider taking Thomas out of your team if I were you!

The question is - why did he play any? Cow’s posterior and banjo spring to mind.

Well that's a different matter and one I have no idea of - those 16 starts yielded 0 goals
