Firstly this 4231 is a total disaster and has been for ages.. Firstly we don't have the players to play it, and you can clearly see they don't want to play it meaning they all look like total strangers when they walk onto the park.
Secondly its soooo feckin easy to play against for teams of ANY level. It leaves very obvious gaps all over the pitch for the opposition to use. The 3 line is so tight that there is no presence from the fullbacks up. Both have to cover ground (and back again) that leaves the entire team exposed.
Time to abandon it immediately.
Next this requirement for coaches and managers to have the wonderful bool**** SFA badges is simply pumping out bog standard generic coaches which is killing the game. The only clubs that can afford the inspirationional managers are the really wealthy ones (handful in Scotland). Can you imagine if JYM had been coached by the SFA?
Were in a league down now and look like being there for a time, we have expensive players of good standard. Time to totally revamp and change everything before its too late.
Adopt a 2-5-3 formation changeable to 2-3-5. There should be no opposition in this league that WE ALLOW to put enough pressure on us to defend for long periods. The best form of winning any game is to score goals and everyone in your own half won't achieve that.
