Chaos.... I've looked at 80s' 2 teams for the weekends games and I can't see the left footed forward he's got down at right wing. I'd assume you'd mean Arnold, but I'm pretty sure he's right footed.

Equally strong with both feet I believe

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.
Great insight into Mills and how he works Chaos thanks for sharing. A great, clear and relatively concise playing philosophy that is evident when you watch his teams play. I think he's destined to work at a much higher level. Championship/League 1.

Yeah I mean Arnold. Seems he is predominantly right, but very two footed you're right, but often used as a left sided or central striker.

As regards Mills' teams. Do the attacking 5 or the defending 5 have to cheat and feign injury the most?
OK, perhaps that was a bit pithy as I don't recall his York team from the other year being a particularly dishonest group.
However, the Gateshead team we faced last season certainly used a lot of erm, 'gamesmanship', to give it a polite name. Surely those ploys must be planned as well? It can't just be coincidence that several of their players dived, cheated and feigned injury so frequently and so eagerly?
As for the football itself, the York team played some of the best football I've seen in this division, but they had the pace and tricky players to do so. The Gateshead team last season passed it around nicely enough but had pretty much no penetration and bagged their goals against us from defensive blunders, an almighty member-up from McKeown included. Oh, not to forget the fact that we were down some players when some of the goals were scored.
If they are no better than last season, I don't fear them this year, providing we don't give them goals again and the referee doesn't buy into their shenanigans. Perhaps Rodman and other signings will give them more of a cutting edge?

Agreed. I never thought I'd be bothered enough to dislike a two-bit non league club but I've made an exception for them.

Quoted from 120797
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 !
Ha. I'm neither picky nor negative (you can't compete or find answers, so you lapse into the dismissive 'negative' jibe), and there's no such thing as the super 6. It's as ludicrous as your 18 point plan. I've already stated that I liked the 4-3-3 team posted earlier by jimgtfc so keep up. If you'd like me to repeat that it's: McKeown Magnay Nsiala Pearson Winfarrah Brown McLaughlin Disley Mackreth Nielson Pittman

I just feel that now we've got a bit more pace back in the attacking positions and with Gateshead's style of play, counter attacking could be our best route to 3 points on Saturday. I think a 433 system (not to be confused with a negative 451) is the best way to set up to achieve that. Really like Tommy's formation though and think that could be the way forward in games we're expected to win, especially with Neilson tucked inside where I actually think he'd be more suited, with pace either side of him.
