Rose Wilmot Mcnally
Hoever Stevens are wingbacks

Thompson? Wing backs and no Tymon but a slower older left back instead. Was Alex pissed when he chose the side today?
In Alex we trust. Fingers crossed

Such a negative team selection. Hope is already going away.

Thompson over Pearson is laughable I’m no fan of Thompson but Pearson hasn’t looked anywhere near the standard of fitness required so far. Yet still better than Thompson! |

Steven’s over Tymon is very telling too

We're going 5-3-2 then, so why not play Tymon (a left wing-back) at left wing-back, instead of a left full-back???
Don't start with the square pegs already Neil!!!

Very underwhelming! Surely you start Tymon if you’re playing wing backs too?!

Disappointing obviously but we looked so slow at the back against Ipswich and these are very quick. Not a surprise to me.

Disappointed to be honest agree with the onlooker he’s shit the bed and reverted back to 3-5-2 honestly thought we’d seen the end of it. Sends out the message that we’re settling for a point to me hope I’m wrong. I've got no issues with the system per se. Got a big issue with a manager bringing in 11 players specifically for 433, where it clearly needs time to gel. Then swapping it out as soon as we get a beating. What did he expect? With a patience that thin he could post on here. He'd fit right in. He's put huge pressure on himself and the team here. |

After last week I can understand dropping Pearson.
Strange line up, let's see what happens

Thompson over Pearson is laughable I’m no fan of Thompson but Pearson hasn’t looked anywhere near the standard of fitness required so far. True but IMO Thompson offers nothing at all |

Post by Bera’s Beano on Aug 19, 2023 13:09:38 GMT
Any vague possibility he’s playing Wilmot at right back and Hoever further forward?
No?
Alright then 😞

That’s a nuts selection
- Thompson?
- 352 but with a fullback rather than a wingback in Stevens.
- 1 recognised striker.
I just hope that one bad result doesn’t result in AN going back into his shell and going with beige selections.
I’d rather see Sidibe start than Thompson who’s a nothing player who doesn’t have any real strengths.
This team really does lack ambition and has the look of a team selection picked to avoid defeat rather than to win.

Hi dear!
Consistency is surely a settled system. We were fine at home, so why change after a poor away result?
Beggars belief!
Hope I am wrong, but I see confusion today?
Struggle to win this one🤔

Our chances of winning have dropped with Thompson playing.

Any chance this is a 4-3-3 with Wilmot at RB and Hoever on the right of the front three?

First time listening to Radio Stoke this season today and already it's glaring that Stoke don't have anyone reporting on them who understands a thing about our club or history yet Vale and Crewe have.

He has put himself under the microscope with that line up / formation.
Win and he is obviously vindicated.
Lose ,especially with barely testing the opposition keeper and he will get absolute pelters.

Disappointing obviously but we looked so slow at the back against Ipswich and these are very quick. Not a surprise to me. How about we get on the front foot and give them something to think about. This formation won’t do that. They’ll be thinking they can put their feet up. One of Thompsons biggest issues is his inhability to move the ball forwards quickly everything goes back with him. The selection will sap the positivity from the crowd unless we get an early goal. |
