Bit surprised no one has come in this week so I think we'll line up as follows, 1-0 either way:

 

Norman

Hobson-Hogan-Raglan-Kitching

Hope-Shelton-Sheron-Dickenson

Norwood-Nuttall

 

Subs: Hudson, Gardner, Reid, Fondop, Willoughby

echo your suprise and lm expecting something today, based on nothing.

l'd rather play Festus Arrhur in CM on his own than combine those to. they seem to have whatever the opposite of a a virtuous circle is. Shelton to RB or the bench and Gardner just desperately launched in there after spending all summer protecting him. bc l need to keep my job. if lm rhino of course. which l'm not. just a fanboy. 🙄.

I did say it's how I expect us to line up. BUT folk need to remember we got plenty of good results earlier this year with that central midfield. I don't mind admitting I voted for Sheron for Player of the Year last season, he was our most consistent performer over the course of 22/23. They've come in for so much stick this week at least in part because of the formation played last Saturday which saw our midfield over run. There's clearly an argument for playing Gardner (whose reputation has grown somewhat as a result of not being involved last week) but I expect Rhino to stick with Sheron and Shelton in the middle of the park.

I like the cut of your jib Hemel. 
 

It’s not about personal- it’s about formation!

If he does it will piss off a lot of people…me included!!😡

Couto, Gardner, Dickenson can’t be worse surely and either Shelton or Sheron if he has to, or could even go 433 with Reid or Willoughby coming in!

I'm not sure about Gardner in a two in centre mid. He used to be able do it but I think now he'd work better in a three these days. Dickenson and Couto are wide players, Couto in the past was far too lightweight to play centre mid.

Cheers LOF, Our manager has said the contrary but I think it's a pretty simple game at this level (all levels?), you need to at least compete in the middle of the park and for that you need numbers.

 

 


Defintley. 
 

The results back it up as well. 
 

A lot of the players last season couldn’t buy a win playing a formation with a 3 and 5 in it. Largely the same players suddenly turned it around and finished with the 3rd best form in league. 
 

So what changed. . 
 

The formation. 
 

Shelton and Sutton will be fine as a stop gap as long as they’re played in a 442.

We also had Rooney, who played himself into a bit of form before Unsworth fell out with him. Don’t think we’ll see him tomorrow somehow.

I think we’ll win, and again on Tuesday. We need two good performances though as well, to get people off his back (for a while at least) and not grinding out a couple of narrow wins like last year.
