The Football This Season

Sorry Frog, but have you forgotten to take your medication today? 🙂.
I think the standard of football served up this season has been the poorest I've seen for a number of years and it's happening at a time when the majority of teams in League 1 are distinctly average.
I haven't seen any indications from the manager or players that things are going to improve any time soon and, unfortunately, I heard chants of "Warne out" on Saturday from a section of the East Stand.
I think a creative, battling midfielder or two would be most welcome in January but the manager seems to think we need a striker and yet another bloody winger! Really?

We've gone from "don't need wingers" 4-3-3, to "we DO need wingers" 4-4-1-1, to now "we need even more wingers"!
Changes in formation and injuries have meant that we haven't had a settled team, and nearly every game at least one player has been out of position. That has probably caused the inconsistency, match to match, even half to half too.
4-3-3 didn't work because the forwards kept getting in each others way. Signing of MacDonald has unfortunately worked out as some of us predicted, and although Morris has gradually looked fitter, he is usually being played out of position. We have lots of players for some positions, no cover for others. Just gives the impression that the details were not really thought through properly over the summer, but we can try to change that in January, finances permitting

Mellow your bang on the money pal. I’m a season ticket holder and missed more games than normal but the worrying thing is I’ve not been bothered, I usually hate missing games. I don’t want Warne out but this seasons football and entertainment has been at best 3 out of 10 (at home) I honestly think he’s trying to fit 3 midfielders in to 2 slots, 4-4-2 suits our players. Hastie and Ogbene could tear this league up. And I would only play 2 up. Bout time he let Vassell and Morris play in their preferred position instead of out wide. Let them fight it out with ladapo and smith instead of changing the whole formation just because he wants them in the team. Boy do we miss a Vaulks type player but I do think we have that in Lyndsey given time.
