They attack with much more purpose than us.

Yet another manager has shat himself knowing what the future looks like. Honestly I think this is it, it's boring, negative, aimless, clueless and typical...

He’s a nailed on disaster anywhere in this God forsaken formation though. You’ve then messed that up even more taking the 2 players out of the positions they’ve got used to. Awful management. Tbh any decent CH should be able play anywhere in a back 3 That’s not how it works is it?

Why do none of our forwards ever make a run across the defender to the near post?

Thompson would offer so much more than Clucas in this system. I don't think it would make a difference, its a shit set up thats holding pretty much everyone back.

We are very average against another average team. Just a scrappy game. First goal decides this one. Team who scores it wins it 1-0.

Can always trust Nige to talk about the pointless, such as the minute hand on the clock pointing at a specific minute.
Cheers Nige, worthy update.

Tbh any decent CH should be able play anywhere in a back 3 So a right footer should be able to play a postion that needs someone with a left foot?

The two wide CBs need to cover the overlap and Souttar and Collins are quicker and more reliable. Baath would terrify me in either of those berths so he's got no real option in a 3. Chester would be even worse and he doesn't seem to trust Lindsay. Which is a shame because I think Collins, Souttar and Lindsay would be worth a try. That is the 3 he should have picked today if he’s got to go with this crap. Lindsay must be showing nothing in training because I think left in a three is probably his best position. His distribution is pretty good and with 2 other CBs alongside him any defensive vulnerability would be covered off.

Because O'Neill has decided that Batth would be a nailed on disaster on the left, whereas he believes Collins is much less likely to? I can see why he might think that. He’s a nailed on disaster anywhere in this God forsaken formation though. You’ve then messed that up even more taking the 2 players out of the positions they’ve got used to. Awful management. Look at Jezza's team on the first page of this thread. That's out best XI imo. That's today's team but Batth is in because Fox is injured. You'd be going mad if Batth was playing on the left of the three. There's no easy choices. Even starting with a back four would have been compromised.

When I saw the names of the team I expected Batth on the left. I was shocked at how many people liked this team. It’s awful.

We just can't get Fletcher and Campbell into the game. Both look decent once involved.

We've controlled the game but have had only 2 shots on goal, 0 on target.

It's was 343 from the off mate. I thought it looked like 2 up top first few mins as Luton are playing what looks like 4123 instead of their diamond. Me and Onlooker posted within 2 mins of the kick-off mate.
