formation

Post by D_F_C » Thu Nov 09, 2017 1:03 pm

Was just thinking of this formation:

GK Ed
RWB Marrs
LWB Galbraith
LCB Brown
RCB Collins
CB Hunter
CM Turnbull
CM Portas
CM Wheatley
CF Cartman
CF Saunders

I'm aware not all are fit, but I've found that the main issue with our defenders is when the ball goes over the top they struggle. With Hunter sweeping with his speed, could this improved the defence. This give us a chance to get Wheatley in the team, plus him and Portas have licence to go forward.

Galbraith can get wide and cross in. I'd much prefer this with a few more signings. There's probably some positives and negatives. Thoughts?

TW has gone on record saying he prefers 4-5-1 / 4-3-3 so can't see him deviating too much at the moment

Hunter is still some way off fitness surely?

We will be playing at the arena again next season - fact.

Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.

Formation is only part of the issue. Team spirit, togetherness and attitude are also important. This is where I believe T.W really can make a difference.

I've just been looking at the team that looked so toothless against North Ferriby back at the end of August. We had Beck and Ferguson playing and also the mighty Martin Gray and co on the bench, but we still couldn't get it going against the worst side in the league.

Cartman and Saunders would be utterly toothless.

Hope so, certainly that would be a lot sooner than I had heard. Hope you’re right.

Heard Hunter had a setback and isn't expected back any time soon.
For you to insult me, I must first value your opinion.

Heard Hunter was the subject of an abduction attempt by aliens.

That unfortunately isn't going to get us out of the predicament we find ourselves in.

Come on Pete, I'm expecting a much better trolling attempt than that.

I know that you know I'm being sarcastic, so if you're going to say something that gets people to correct you (which you get off on), at least make it better and more intelligent than that.

They are the only real option at the moment. I could have put (other potential striker)

Don't worry, I wasn't having a pop at you. More the general attitude towards players like them, whose limitations get overlooked under the vague premise of them being "Darlo through and through."

Well TW answered the question about formation, he prefers, 3 5 2 or 4 3 3 depending on the opposition and players available.

Again, you're not liking this free speech lark, are you Quakerman2?

It's seems you're all for people having opinions, so long as they're not different to yours.

And again he's missing the point that he is telling two posters who are having a bit of a joke to "lighten up".
