TheBigDog Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Two teams who have recently found some form. Effiong scoring a few so will be their danger man I suspect. Expect this to be our starting eleven: 4-1-3-2 Norman Yarney, Hogan, Clarke, Kitching Sheron Shelton, Chapman, Tollitt Nuttall, Fondop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I'm hoping to see a change up top. I think Nuttall and Fondop are too similar so would like to see more dynamism up front with Abraham or Reid (when fit) alongside Nuttall, with Fondop a handy option from the bench. I'd still like to see a front 3 and think that works better with the squad we've got (as long as they play as a 3 and not as a 1) but he probably won't look to change much after an upturn in form.

Quickly got fed up of standing in a terrace with no roof. It just kills any attempt at an atmosphere. That’s before a ball is kicked ! When we did have a roof on the terrace, instances like Torquay happen where me and 3 mates walked into the ground, hoping to grab a pint after a 5/6 hour drive down, and it was bloody cash only. Cash only at this level is a joke in the current climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldershot as a ground looks much more like Torquay than it does to the other southern aways I've done this season (Woking, Bromley, Maidenhead and Dorking). So hopefully the atmosphere will be good tomorrow. Those others were particularly bad for atmosphere and it wasn't just about the football! Maidenhead especiallly.

Fair enough mate, I was speaking more generally than Aldershot. Hope everyone who goes has a good day and we win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd keep the same back four and have Peter Clarke on the bench. I felt Hogan and Yarney looked more solid. Yarney pushed up on the attackers more and I thought we kept danger further away from the edge of our box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would what we might lose putting Peter Clarke in ahead of Yarney at centre back, be gained back by putting Yarney in ahead of Jordan Clarke at right back?

Jordan Clarke has done okay but he looks like he is carrying an injury. For me the weakest part of the defence has been down our right. The moving of Sheron into the defensive midfield role plus the addition of Shelton has bolstered the centre of midfield. I disagree that the team he picks will be indicative of the strength of the manager - how so? I agree that there is an argument that a clean sheet in the previous game means not changing the defence but I would bring Peter Clarke back in. I will be there tomorrow and expect a tough contest. I also believe we can get something from the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P Clarke and Yarney both bring different qualities, and both have done enough for a start. So I’d probably go with the others and say Yarney at right back and P Clarke centre half.

Guest Stanley30 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Keep a winning team. Clarke can sit on the bench, Daft sod got sent off so shouldn't walk back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightDN123 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Clarke doesn’t want to be here so Yarney at rb? Clarke through the middle. They have a huge lump up top so we need all the height and physicality we can back there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Clarke was fucking dreadful first half on Tuesday night, he's been the oppositions best player on a number of occasions this season, he really isn't the answer. Somethings not been right for months with him and I'd go as far to say he looks and plays like he doesn't give a fuck half the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fucked up a move down the right in the first half - had three blue shirts to pick from and passed it to no-one, allowing York to break. Dreadful. Yarney at right back for me.

I also believe we can get something from the game. Both fair points. The obvious answer is that we need 2 Yarneys. I thought on Tuesday that we looked miles stronger down the middle but that might have been down to Shelton and Sheron as well who were excellent. I thought the 2 central mids and central defenders worked well together. I think for the manager the easier option is to bring Clarke back and move Yarney. But then again as others have said that might be the best option as well. Lets see what happens on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Wasn't sure what thread to put this in but I saw this video on a site called coaches voice. It's a good one for the thinking football fan Sean Dyche describes how he used 4-4-2 while at Burnley with 2 big lads upfront with a centre back with a good range of passing in Tarkowski they would have the option of getting the ball to the front men accurately. The skill that I believe that is most underrated in Peter Clarke is his ability to pass the ball he is capable of putting a 40 50 yard ball upto the striker or across the pitch to the winger. Anyway give it a watch perhaps this is what Unsworth is trying to do. Sean Dyche explains how to use 4-4-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayfield Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 4 hours ago, yarddog73 said: Somethings not been right for months with him Completely agree. Has a tortured and frustrated demeanour, convinced he feels hard done by some how, possibly forced to play when he believes he is injured. Could be as simple as petulance after having a transfer request denied. Peter Clarke comes straight back into the team in my opinion, contributes a huge amount. Josef Yarney has already shown quality, very promising, can't be dropped after Tuesday's excellent performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
