I think we might swap places with them rather than play them again.

same for me, tried all the fixes ifollow suggested to no avail.

We'll see on Tuesday

I am not bothered about bad games in the past. It is what happens from now on that counts.

Give me a slice

To me it is simply a tactical choice. Either an attacking full-back, or a defensive one. Against Coventry he has gone for the attacking option in JRC.

If that scenario happens fair enough, until then why the U23's and not the bench ?

For me Dolan may need to be used from the bench, not the U23's

On the left wing we've got Tony Field, On the right wing Johnny Price

could you explain a little more how you have come to these feelings ?

I am more worried about the match day settings. His experience in different situations come to naught judging by his team selections.

And worth every penny just for the goal at Derby

I was taught every pass has the chance of an interception or a mistake in control. pass when it gains you an advantage or if you are under pressure, but not for the sake of it. especially in your own half.

my thought process would be why does Nyambe have to make a five yard pass when he is under no pressure.

what fan base?

Because I have other things in my life besides this messageboard. I answered the question you posed when I first read it. I will know in future that there is a time limit to respond to questions.

you asked the question

You're being thick

so what you are saying is one midfielder pushed forward. That is not a tactical change, that may happen during the natural flow of a game. A tactical change, using the same players would have been to play Gally as center forward ,down the middle and Chapman on the wing getting crosses in for him. any defensive headers out you have Johnson waiting 30 yards out to hopefully pick up some ball and have a shot. You never know he might get a deflection. I did watch the game, I will keep my opinion of the commentators to myself as I don't want to upset anyone.

he didn't change formation, he changed personnel.

100%

But as was quoted : With what's available.

was that when it absolutely poured down and we were on the open end. Lads where raiding the shop/hut for boxes to try to keep the rain off.

to me it is more a lack of willingness to change tactics when our first plan isn't working.

It's an hours flight from Manchester to Germany, not a safari to the middle of Africa. And as you say, we don't know the circumstances. People always assume the worst. Perhaps he was given extra time off because Mowbray thought he was not required, then call offs and injuries occurred. I think that unless his family was in some sort of trouble, he should have been called back.
