Two weeks into a new season and you're talking about rotating a whole team because they have to play two games in three days?
If you replace them one at a time you could be there til Xmas ! I don't know how (strong) Hurst will go... But if he goes full strength at Heed and we lost (no guarantees !) where would his job (or we) be when faced with the daunting prospect of fielding a team (the same one that lost but now knackered ?) on Monday ? For me, we need the WHOLE squad "up to speed" asap. Gotta play them sometime ! We could go full strength/unchanged at Heed and still lose anyway - can't get a bigger disaster than that ! |

Pittman, LJL

NB: Wouldn't surprise me if he goes 3-5-2 again

4-3-3 is Mills' preferred shape and if you believe that 'matching up' is a good strategy away from home, then it's worth considering. Key things is - 'when not in posession, get in position'.
To give an insight into Mills' philosophy, he likes to tell his players, in that formation, that the back 5 (defenders plus 'sitting' midfielder) are there to prevent him from losing the game, and the front 5 (who's positions are interchangeable) are there to win him the game. They must then 'play' freely but remain mindful of two principal things - shape, and not to needlessly gamble or squander posession. That's why you'll never see Gateshead trying some of the balls and 'passes' (hopeful channel punts) that we do.
That is interesting to hear about Mills. I wonder why we have found it virtually impossible to get a manager of his calibre in the last few years? I mean we are talking of Gateshead;no history, no crowds,no long term league future I don't think. How come we cannot make the right choice in the most important position of all? If in the end Paul Hurst isn't quite up to it, why can't we go out and sell this football club to the man we want? Is it that managers know which clubs to steer clear of regardless of their history/potential? Even if our recruitment process isn't very good (clearly) decent managers must be tempted surely? Just what is the problem???? |

Quite. Nuts I know. And, or course, asking a left sided forward to play right midfield (unenforced) and not rotating the most out of form, weakest and most tired/unfit looking striker, even though other contracted forwards are newly available and eager/in need of game time to get back up to speed. |

Anyway it's not a full team it's 7 By the way you say "rotating a whole team" In reality, it's not "changing for the sake of it", it's simply getting those not yet involved match fit |

Oh look it's Mr picky negative, part of the super 6 I guess ! For the record, he's not just a forward, he's a winger and most wingers are versatile regards side because they can CUT IN. (which may even be useful if he's also a "forward" !) But yeah, stick him on the left side like he played at Gainsborough (if you really want !) and swap Neilson over. Oh yeah, and let's see YOUR team too matey ! |
