Well yes but we're not a well-run club and our financial woes mean they probably won't be much good aka De Neve etc -

We do have some talented wide players at U21 & U18 level, not "retraining" them as wing backs/strikers/midfielders (I am sure there would be different solutions for different individual players) means we end up with talented players who we cant use in a year or 2 Obviously if there is no plan to continue with the back 3, the above is not a concern, but that will instead throw our entire January window into the bin at the end of the season -

It's not that long ago we should have beat them, couple of key differences though...we had Gudjohnsen, Alebiosu and Morishita in the team that day. Worth noting their away form isn't great though, last away win way back in September. If I was a betting man, which I am, I'd be backing the draw. They've drawn 5 of their last 6 away from home. We've drawn 2 of the last 3 at home, 5 out the last 7 home and away. 2 out the past 3 H2H also draws. Just hope it's not another 0-0 draw though, a goal would be nice. I think we'll get one too, Hedges is due a goal. 1-1. Another draw isn't really much use in the grand scheme of things mind. On a rather negative note I remember us drawing too many the last time we went down to league one, 4 in a row in one spell. It's all a bit too familiar folks.....erm on that note - Happy New Year fellow blues. -

Reyes would probably a striker if he can him. He could work the channels like Ohashi and run in behind whilst Gudjohnsen stays more central and be the fox in the box/focus point -

Why wait? If there is a plan, then implement it now We do have some talented wide players at U21 & U18 level, not "retraining" them as wing backs/strikers/midfielders (I am sure there would be different solutions for different individual players) means we end up with talented players who we cant use in a year or 2 Obviously if there is no plan to continue with the back 3, the above is not a concern, but that will instead throw our entire January window into the bin at the end of the season -

I think the under 21's and every group will move to playing 3 at the back at start of next summer if we are sticking to back 3 long term -

Seems possible, especially with the Reyes link, but selling Pickering and pursuing Gibson says back 3, though completely illogical planning is our forte. Whatever is cheapest today is the plan I reckon, tomorrow be damned -

I think the same, which in turn means that they are now left with a question of stick or twist? If they intend to stick with the back 3 beyond the end of this season, then surely they need to get the U21s/U18s etc playing the same system. It also makes little sense to keep either of Pickering or Ribeiro (an argument could be made for keeping one of them until the end of the season, purely to offer defensive stability off the bench, but neither would have a long term future with that system If hey decide to twist & move back to a back 4, then is that in January? Which would be very risky, or at the end of the season? In which case, any transfer business done in January, will will either have to be short term loans & contracts and leave us with another big rebuild in the summer, on top of the recurring contract issue.. Cantwell, Toth, Pratt, Kargbo, Pears, Montgomery, Doherty, Carter, Garrett, Edmondson will only have a year left (*), Tronstad, Hedges, Forshaw, Dlamini, Tyjon & the lesser spotted Mullarkey-Matthews will be out of contract (assuming they are not sold beforehand) etc * Not saying some of those players are the answer, but they have all featured kin our first team squad at some point, & that's that is a lot of contracts or new signings to sort -

Selling Tronstad would relegate us. Absolute suicide, so yeah, expect the club to do this. -

I can't see a change in formation after Ismael has banged on about changing to a back 3 so much over the last few weeks. Our attack is poor though and it's getting difficult to even predict we might score a goal at the moment. ---------------Pears ------Miller---- McLoughlin----Pratt Litherland-----------‐---------------Hedges -------------Tronstad---Baradji -----------------Cantwell ------------Ohashi-------Henriksson 0-2 defeat. -
