Have a feeling this will be the start of something wonderful. Either that or it will be false dawn 150 since we got relegated π

Gooch is getting an easy ride. He's been awful at full back. He's always outside the line of the pass and so he gets done by players running off his shoulder. He's not a full back. We've got a promising young player we chased all summer. Fucking play him! Travers Hoever Wilmot mcnally Tchamadeu Pearson Laurent Haksabanovic Bae. Vidigal Lowe/anyone but Wes Here's my 11 1 Hartshillbadger 2 Glasgowstokie 3 Toxicavenger 4 Bristolmick 5 Owdstokie 6 Pugsley 7 Skip 8 Lordb 9 Me of course 10 Benjaminbiscuit 11 Huddysleftfoot Subs Anyone else off this board. Formation- we'll decide that after kick off. Solid line up i reckon. Did well to remember 11 names off this board π π€£ You forgot me.....I'm upset now, especially as you picked the Biscuit instead π

Who would get the first booking? Pugsly for dissent? Possibly. My money on badger for abusive language toward the referee π Where's RAF in this ? He'd be the obvious abusive language candidate !

Neil has got to start pulling some wins from somewhere so hopefully we can pick up some points tomorrow.
I can see it being a 433 with Johnson as one of the CMβs alongside Pearson and Laurent or, if heβs feeling adventurous, then a 4231 with a combination of Vidigal, Haksabanovic and Bae behind Wesley.
If Hoever is fit then itβs time to drop Gooch and bring in Junior for me. Gooch is full of endeavour but has been lacking badly in terms of end product.
McNally and Wilmot are the best CB pairing weβve got at the moment.

If we had the Campbell and Burger available with Vidigal back I would really fancy us for this.
However without them Iβm not so confident. Have we managed to not lose a match where Wesley has started?
We desperately need something here so Iβm going to back us to get something. Itβs just hard to have confidence with Wesley starting. And thatβs not just a sleight on him, itβs how the system and the rest of the players fit in with him playing.

Every year we seem to be badly hamstrung by significant player injuries and it stops our season before it even properly starts. If other teams are having the same issues it makes me wonder how the issue has less apparent effect in the clubs that are achieving? Is it a strength in depth thing, a coaching and training thing, relative squad fitness levels,manager's that are not good at adapting to new circumstances or a combination of all those issue? .. or am I just misreading the situation entirely? Bristol City is the next game and we are struggling for options in defence and attack, I do know that much

Or certainly a must not lose. I'm hoping we bag a win and go on a winning run to the international break and we kick on from there and come xmas we're back to chanting his name at the top of our lungs.......okay morning drinking is not advisable π

Can't wait for this one Do we have to play? Anyway who is out? Burger, Campbell, Mmaee Stevens Anyone else? Surely have to play Haksabanovic and Videgal with Wes? Pearson, Johnson and Junho in midfield? Hoever, Gooch as fullbacks Wilmot and McNally with Travers in goal Donβt know why I've done that backwards Due to score first in a game, if so can we keep a clean sheet? Whatever we think interested to see if the players are still on board or not Gooch is getting an easy ride. He's been awful at full back. He's always outside the line of the pass and so he gets done by players running off his shoulder. He's not a full back. We've got a promising young player we chased all summer. Fucking play him! Travers Hoever Wilmot mcnally Tchamadeu Pearson Laurent Haksabanovic Bae. Vidigal Lowe/anyone but Wes I could live with that, would prefer Laurent not to be included but havenβt much choice.

Depending on what sort of pressure Neil and the team are actually feeling, it could go either way. We could capitulate completely and lose 3-0 or pull something out of the bag as a "fuck you" and get our season going. I know the calls for his head are growing on here but the owners might well have told him not to panic. He might not be feeling any heat at all.
He certainly isn't just going to throw caution to the wind as it's his "last chance" as someone has suggested. He needs to choose wisely from what he's got available, which is a lot weaker than what you'd want at this stage of the season.
4 - 2 - 3 - 1 for me (along with the players I think he'd pick for each position). Looking at it now, I'm not sure there's enough there to win us the game but other than Wesley, we have Dwight Gayle...
GK - Travers
RB - Hoever CB - Wilmot CB - McNally LB - Junior
CM - Pearson CM - Laurent (I know)
LAM - Haksabanoivc CAM - Johnson RAM - Vidigal
CF - Wesley

The more I think about it, it could be make or break for Neil this week, with an international break, I think we need to get 4 out of 9, otherwise it could be curtains for him, certainly very possible, but not sure we have the capabilities.

Post by stokeuk474 on Sept 29, 2023 9:30:13 GMT
I think due to all the shit he's received this week about formations, he'll revert to a 433/4231. However, if we lose I can see him having a snide dig at the fans in his interview saying well we changed the formation and still lost didn't we etc...
Anyway, i'd like to see something like the following:
Travers
Hoever McNally Wilmot Gooch
Pearson Burger(if fit)/Thompson Johnson(slightly further forward than the other two who are a double pivot)
Haksabanovic Wesley Vidigal
An alternative, slightly more solid approach would be to play Leris on the RH side instead of Haks and then he can provide some cover for when Hoever gets forward.
I don't think these kind of games are right to play Bae at the moment, we need to grind some points out and the lad is only 19 and still learning the game. There'll be opportunities for him later in the season hopefully.
