How does the democratic republic of Athersley defend that debacle? Baring in mind your whole argument was based on such a stoic rear guard.

Athersley ??
Two varying versions on how we set up steve , one is that we played with 3 centre backs and two wing backs and the other is that it was a flat back four with McCarthy anchoring the midfield .
Once I can establish our formation I'll get back to you mate .
I've read a number of opinions on the match and they all but one seem to confirm Hecky changed from our normal back four to whatever it was .
A back four that's look solid and had us keeping 4 clean sheets out of the last 6 games prior to today .
I would have thought given the difficulty of today's game it wasn't particularly smart to start fecking around when at least in the defensive department we are fairly sound .
Clearly he's looked at the midfield situation and it's had an effect on his thinking .
Yes he's lost Isgrove to injury and Williams is suspended but he's allowed a couple of midfielders to leave the club too without gaining the necessary replacements .
He's over thought this one to me and it's difficult to defend him , dropped a b@llack .
It was mentioned earlier this season by a poster on here suggesting a 3/5 man defence , I said then it's mightily difficult thing to put into place with inexperienced young players , who stays , who marks , getting a cohesive line , it didn't take long today for that to be the case and Hecky should have known it takes more than 4 sessions on the training field to be comfortable enough and throw it into an away game at high flying Aston Villa .
Not one of Hecky's better days to say the least .
Top man Animal
The rest of the window and the games in February will in my opinion decide our fate .
We won't be relegated in February of course but we will look back if it does happen and perhaps say that was the month that did us .
Everything to play for and firmly in our own hands .
Something is not sitting right with me regarding the HC and the recruitment team - process .
That new contract remains unsigned too , sat on his desk a few weeks nar .
Ive said before there is a problem , and I've also said on many ooccasions that Hecky needs some help , it will all come to the Boil soon if things aren't sorted quickly , The new board need to listen to what the HC needs, and try to work in harmony with each other , from the outside it must look a real shambles , signing players that aren't ever going to feature etc , Cummon thort we were better than that , get your act together !!
Animal is it 3pts or 4pts on the prediction league for correct score ... minds gone blank
Cheers pal , didn’t know if it was wishful thinking , got memory fade
A lot smoother back in the day when Rimmo and Eric were kicking around the place , two good lads who knew the game inside out and could give sound advice out to a young manager or player .
I don't know about this spreadsheet game , it's pulled some good lads in but tha could easily point to some who aren't good enough as well .
Tha reight though , nobody seems to be working together , we should have players in nar if we have let some go out , barmy to me .
We niver seem to get this transfer window reight and we all know it's the same time each year and yet we always seem to tow .
