TheBigDog Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 The big questions: 1. ”Will we see a reaction (to the Tuesday performance) in the team selection?” 2. ”Will the players who start the game step up and play with energy, drive and desire?” The big answers: 1. Given that we haven’t brought in anyone, it’s down to which of the current squad are available. Is Hope ready to be on the bench? What is the injury status of Clark, Carragher, Porter, Gardner… and will he go with Vaughan and Carty from the off? (*) 2. <shrugs shoulders and grimaces> (*) not really an answer in that the response just raised more questions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careca9 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Yep will be interesting to see the reaction of the players after his interview, the selection and tactics. Surely he won’t go for another 0-0 as it’s apparent we can’t keep a clean sheet no matter how many he puts back there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukers1 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 If we get the same response it’s going to be very toxic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's definitely 8 at the back then, Fondop on his jack jones up front and Tollitt further left than a political wing. Don't forget about a footballers I.Q. If brains were gunpowder most of them wouldn't have enough to blow the gaiters off a battle dress budgie so stick to 4-4-2 a system most of them can cope with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don’t get it….there’s far too much emphasis placed on this formation bollocks, 442, 424, 433, 352, 4231, 4312. I expect any team would play almost all of those formations at any given time throughout the course of a game of football depending on the opposition!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intent is more important than the formation. Wrexham play 3 at the back with wingbacks I think and doesn't seem to be doing them any harm. All we need to do is triple our wage budget and get those sort of players in! Someone should tell Frank... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
