Glad you’re not picking the team! “Stick to 442” is what Sunday league managers do as it’s the only formation their tiny minds can process

Any "Sunday league manager", even one with a only a "tiny mind", can see when a formation isn't working so how does that place Tomasson when he still makes the same mistakes and refuses to change a system that isn't working? 

Is Tomasson therefore worse than a "Sunday league manager" because he's so blind to what's going on or so arrogant and stubborn that he refuses to admit he made a mistake?

Using your great intellect would you like to pick a team?

Those crying for 442…who would you play as the two wingers? I assume Hedges as one, who as the other?

Or are we setting up like 00s England with a Scholes on the wing to weirdly accommodate 442

I think I saw one line up with Morton and Wharton on the wings. Beggars belief

For me our main problem is not what formation we play, but asking too many players to play out of their preferred positions. If one player is out, then bring in the best player to fill that gap. Don't swap three players to achieve the same objective. Nobody can say for certain which is the best choice, but my guess would be, bringing in the best player to fill the gap.

Yes, it is baffling why our managers consistently fail to adopt this approach, despite there being ample evidence that deploying players out of position doesn't really work.

Horses for courses, and all that.

Let's see what today brings 😉

COYB!

Thought I'd pop this in here in case anyone hasn't seen it. Possibly the best fan site ever, but sadly not kept up to date for a while now.

Glad to hear you got there okay. Saved my trip over for next weekend 💪

Fox and Hounds best bet I think

[ItsRoverZ]

4-3-3 today then?

Glad to see brittian and pickering as our fullbacks 

Huge to have both Gallagher and Hedges back too

[Mike E]

4231 by looks. Happy with that.

Here now my man. Planes, no trains and automobiles style.

[Admiral Nelsen]

I know we have to drop a good centre half if we're going with a back four, but I hate seeing S. Wharton left out of the side. 

[rock steady]

[roverandout]

Why drop Adam Wharton? He was our best outfield player against Coventry

[Tricky]

Everyone in their right position for once... 

[Nuttall is lost]

Is young Wharton injured?

I think he's gone off the boil. A spell out of the side won't do him any harm.

[rovers11]

Good line up. Possibly our strongest 11 so no excuses today.

Just now, Nuttall is lost said:

He's 18 and looks knackered after 60 mins each week. They're just protecting him.

I'd argue A. Wharton for Travis, but yeah otherwise it's the best team we can field at the moment.

[roverandout]

This team should be able to wipe the floor with Huddersfield 

[DE.]

Maybe the midweek performance and result was the kick up the arse JDT needed, a realisation that even against the lesser teams in the league you can't fuck around with ridiculous experiments and get away with it.
