But it’s like asking can we talk about the squad but not mention the players. And to be fair I’m talking about his ability as a coach and how it affects formations- which is the thread title. I guess the aim of the post is a hypothetical rather than what should we play tomorrow. How about looking at it another way?... If you were manager or if we had a different manager capable of coaching any formation, what formation would best suit our squad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With what we’ve got in the squad I’d go 4132 or 433. I wouldn’t touch 352 because it’s highly specialised and I don’t any division 5 players are good enough in and out possession to get the best out of it.

Monty Burns Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) but thats easy for me to say hiding online in bed gettin stoned and eating. Raglan is like a booming upgrade on Hogan and Hobson seems a bit more silky and composed. probs needs to play every week to settle.

deyres42 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 To answer the question 4-4-2 probably is the way to go at the moment, it cannot be Shelton and Sheron as the central two though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hinchy Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) Hudson/Norman Raglan Hobson McGahey/Hogan freeman/green. Kitching Gardner/lundstrum sheron Shelton/Willoughby/ward/dickenson Nuttall/fondop Norwood/reid 5-3-2 effectively without the ball and 3-5-2 with the ball. Gardner or lundstrum sat in front of back line to receive the ball and progress the play. Sheron there to win it back, then with the ball you give license to shelts, Willoughby or ward to support the strikers, without they drop in the middle. my guess is that’s the master plan but injuries etc have put the mockers on it.

GlossopLatic Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Sometimes 4-4-2 gets seen as the solution when actually it's one possible solution. Right now I'd give it a go with Dickensen and Green on the flanks and Sutton and Kitching behind them I think we can get overloads down the sides put Gardner in the middle next to Sheron and Nuttall and Norwood uptop through the middle. It would have been interesting to see how 4-3-3 would have worked on Monday had Fondop not had his brain fart I'd quite like to see us try that again with Willoughby and Reid either side of Norwood am a midfield 3 of Sheron sitting infron of the back 4 and when fit Dickensen/Ward and Lundstrum pushing on. But for tomorrow I think 4-4-2 might be the best option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L1onheartNew Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I believe that we should use the Craig Fleming formation where everyone of the oppositions' outfield players are man marked. They can't score, we can't pass. Everybody wins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's another one of Unsworth's bollock ups where he insists on playing his weakest player for that position, now before everyone starts crying I don't dislike Hudson I just think overall Norman is the better of the two and if fit should play, all this bollocks about having two number ones is laughable, who else does this other than he who shall not be questioned, Hudson is an adequate understudy and that's about his level at the moment, just doesn't have the presence that Magnus has, if Norman is on we don't concede that 2nd on Saturday, in a world of fine margins it's as simple as that.
