Positive Thread

We will get 5 points from the next 3 games which if we repeat the rest of the season would keep us up unless it was a outlier of a season. Great news on Batiste and gore as well. MH has to move to a 4 we do not have the players for his formation and playing players out of position is not good for their confidence which is an issue that he himself has raised.

Derbs, I feel that if Hammy doesn't see sense and alter to a back four, then he will fail and he will have no one else to blame but himself.

We do NOT have any wing backs but how he sets up, he thinks he has. With the blessing of Gore returning and now Spence is back we will he have chance of improvement. Two wins over the next two games is not totally a must but a win/draw are. We simply have to get going again!

I’ll try to be positive Saturday 😎
Yes pal he’s good. Happy to share his number etc just not sure how without all nutcases on here seeing it. 🤣🤣.

YAK, glad to hear Pocket is good. As you know I've kind of asked of his well being since he dropped out of the PL. As CAM says, since they removed the 'inbox' facility it's almost nigh impossible to privately keep in contact with anyone.

Me and 2 mates coming to watch the Millers & Harry Gray v Cardiff City. Tickets for the West Stand bought today.

So the positive is the attendance is swelling 😊

I am watching the Wrexham game, my god we had a great player in rathbone, such a good player. So pleased that the business brains on our board got those millions for him 😜

Keep James fit to play left wing back + get one on the right in same I'd favour 3-5-2. We need 3 central midfielders & 2 up front anyway but be able to go 4 at back if needed then go 4-3-3. Could do with a big forward in to give us another option.

How positive do the players feel?
Is the positivity so real?

After next game
Do we praise or blame?

On Saturday at 5
Will our League 1 survival still be alive?

If our hopes of survival drop dead
Will there be a negative thread?

How squad stands now would be 4-4-2 with wide midfielders playing narrow with full backs overlapping:

Dawson

Rafferty Baptist Jules James

Mcwilliams Spence Gore Powell

Gray Nombe

Get a sweepstake on how long before the positivity is pissed on...

Great news on Gore. Be even better if we could focus on getting Powell's term extended along with a further year on the full backs.

Got to disagree on this one, Powell is meh & everyone fit for me doesnt get in the side. Two full backs are the wrong side of 30, however, I would keep James, think he would be decent for another season.

[ManorFarmMiller]

Wow - without Baptiste that back 4 is very slow.

Jules gives away a goal every game, think I am in the minority, but for me possibly our worst defender. If fit Kaleta has to play at right back. If you go 442- you need to put Martha on the left wing. Powell is a massive momentum killer when we go forward.

I think Powell has been, on average, one of our top three or four players this season. Yearwood, Gore, McWilliams, Benson and Kelly all due to leave in May, so I don't know how many players that leaves in the middle to consign Powell to the bench?

Both (proper) full backs are 32 and due to leave in a few months. Motivated and fit, they'd both be more than capable of playing 40 games at a good knock next season. No reason they would look to move on unless someone is sticking 2+ years in front of them... or if there are issues behind the scenes. Until the poor run started, Rafferty was rock solid, and James offers a bit going forward as well.

That's best one I've heard Kaleta right back, Martha left wing. One can't defend other never a wide player.

A bit of positivity
