Now that Wilson, our defensive midfield player

Ah yes, wilson, he's a good un'.

Why we Forte sent off? Headbutting?

 

Why did he put himself in that situation and why are we not hammering him for it like normal?

 

Won't score 15 to 20.,...or 5 at this rate, left or centre

It was because he was upfront, if he'd have been at LW he'd have just given the bloke a hug.

No coincidence that the goal came when we were two up top and Winchester in the field. Why is Philly still being considered in midfield

Winchester had no role in the goal, did he?

I think you need to mention the players too.

I didnt think anyone had that bad a game, with the exclusion of forte.

 

Saw a tweet from MENOAFC saying Philli started in defensive midfield today?

He did, when we went down to 10 men he went upfront (kind of).

I thought the lad from celtic played ok, yeah he was a bit jittery at times but defensively he was strong in the air and put a fair few blocks in. Better than connor brown .

i'll do the job, i've got a 2 point plan.

1. 4-3-3

2. Respond to BP1960's letters.

So you all think Barry wants us to be crap, just because he's a walking disaster doesn't mean he really enjoyed the performance today. If you want to blame someone blame the management team and/or corney.

We are too defensive at the moment, there's no doubt about that. It never helps when your main striker has a brain fart like that though. The thing for me is in the last 15-20 minutes when we gave it a go we looked good. This team is very capable of the play-off's.

I agree that he'd be better with a partner up top, the problem is that stan is on international duty and cassidy, well DK still hasn't given a reason as to why cassidy isn't playing.

I will never get my head round asking your better players to play unfamiliar roles.

Forgive me if im wrong but im pretty sure forte's played upfront most of his career.

 

Turner, Murphy, Poleon, Philliskirk. We have hundreds of the :censored:ers. Forte is a winger, or at a push, a forward when in a pair with a big stump (Jabo, Cass).

Turner has been rank in his few apperances, murphy is way short of game time, poleon's on the naughty step and philliskirk has played well at cm/dm recently.

I'd like to see Forte at LW.

Who plays upfront then?

There's no point playing 3 at the back so you have loads in midfield when the opposition are just going hoof it over their heads.

I'd go 4-2-1-3.

Coleman

dieng, wilson, burn, brown

philli, jones

dunn

croft, forte, yeates

IMO, this team is very capable of the play-offs and id be disappointed if we didn't reach them. That said im fairly happy with the current position. We've seen a definite improvement in the Bury game. We have to keep on improving and that involves putting the ball in the net more. I'd be worried if we weren't creating chances but on the evidence of Bury we are creating more. Decent start overall.

 

So who is responsible for the players failure go get forward enough and find the net, themselves or the designated tactics ?

Dont know, because apparently unlike everyone on here i dont have access to teamtalks and the manger's plans.

The formation isn't the problem, its a decent formation. The players are just not gung ho enough. The fullbacks have to overlap and get forward, our goal against bury came from a cross from mills. We also don't shoot enough, forte and philli are the main culprits.

Bristol city were the best team in the division, we're not. Would i like us to go to wembley, yeah. Would i rather we win in the league than the JPT, definitely.

Oldham set to sign 20-year-old Celtic defender Eoghan O'Connell on loan. #oafc

i think we can all agree winiesta has quality but for me he isn't positive enough. He's too conservative on the ball, he needs to run at people more and thats what dunn does better than him.

We could always play another striker at defensive mid.

Forte plays on the last man, if we play to his strengths he would be miles better upfront than on the wing. Hoofing it to him is just pointless. If you put Yaya Toure upfront he'd score goals, doesn't mean he's a striker.

Why is everyone convinced forte is a winger? He's a striker, play him there.

We don't have many wingers though, we've got croft and Poleon. Poleon still has to learn he doesn't have to take his man on 10 times before passing him and croft has no ability in the final third. Good addition if you ask me.
