Quoted from Maringer
OK, I have to admit I didn't look at the defence much - just saw Pittman stuck out wide. I'll adjust my comment about his line-up:

Playing Connell up front on his own sounds like utter madness to me. He's not strong enough to hold up or link up play, has no pace to run on to passes and has offered absolutely no threat in his first 3 appearances. If you want to play with a solo striker, LJL is the obvious choice or possibly Pittman might be capable as well though I'd doubt his ability to last 90 minutes.

Regardless of who was to play, I think 1 up top would be a poor idea, even if they were theoretically supported by 2 other wider men because it's all too easy for players to be sucked back into midfield, leaving the lone forward utterly isolated.


Very true. I'd also add that even when we play 5-3-2 it ends up with two players being isolated up front because the midfield always seems to sink further and further back.


“If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.”

The problem there is that you aren't playing Neilson who is potentially our most creative player. Also, you've only got 3 defenders on the pitch with Mackreth not known for his defensive abilities and Winfarrah still relatively untested.

I expect Magnay to definitely play in one of the wide defensive positions, whether left or right back or left or right wing-back.

I would go along with this but Paddy instead of Disley.

I do fear that we wouldn't win many headers at all in the centre of the park without Disley in the team. I think he'll play ahead of Paddy, if fit, in a central pairing. However, I suppose it is possible we might play 3 in the centre of the park, in which case we'd see Brown, Disley and Paddy in there.

I prefer it when the keeper plays a bit more centrally.
