Never seen a manager make

Poor tactics, formation and selection, again.

I reckon if we end up losing today and against Leicester Mr McDermott will be on his toes.

Problem then, who next?

Best managers are already employed and I don't think we have the cash to pay compensation plus.

343


Needs at least fast defender.

wide midfielder a who can run with the ball and overlap.

wingers with pace and trickery.

a midfield 2 consisting of a deep lying playmaker and a marauder.

WE HAVE:

SLOW BACK 3

PELTS AND PUGH HAVE THE TECHNIQUE OF A RUBBER BAND.

WINGERS ARE NEW AND UNFIT.

MIDFIELDERS ARE KNACKERED AND INEXPERIENCED IN LOCAL DERBYS.

The formation can be deadly, however NOT with this collection of players. Its über attacking and relies on incision and movement, we have not got that or at least not at the no. we have set up to play on the floor, but are playing goofball.

BMAC was crazy playing such a drastically different system AWAY and IN A DERBY!!!!

Our only hope is not do this second half.

Byram. Pearce. Zali. Pugh.

kebe. tongue. Austin. Stewart

ross Smith

Anyone smart enough to pour urine out of a boot knows that mccormack as a lone striker and five at the back means you will get no possession. Also wednesday for the last two years have been a team of giants. They want you to play long balls at them. Just dire.

*to do this

I'd take Austin off. Tonge isn't on the bench is he?

Wakefield, its not even a back bleeding five, its a back 3!!!!! Suicide with this team.

Stevie, I'd take Mowatt off as he is not physical enough. We need to get stuck in the second half and I'd keep Rudy on (begrudgingly) just for that reason.

He played this 3-4-3 formation against Rochdale and they totaly outplayed us. Its more worrying that he thinks he could use this formation again against better opposition and 2 new players in the side. Wonder what reaction the fans will give them if the second half dont improve.

I see your point Mike. It's all a bit academic now of course.

Worst performance I've seen and only time I actually feel like I should be refunded for that dross.

What formation was BM even playing today? We had 3 centrebacks, 2 fullbacks, 2 centremids, 2 wingers and striker...what a bizarre line up! How are they going to line up.

We had two new wingers, but only Ross McCormack, the tiniest man on the pitch in the box. Why did BM sign Matt Smith if not for this? He's done okay so far, now we have actual wingers he's been dropped...makes no sense.

There was no system, no style of play. What do they do in training? How has BM asked them to play?

Based on the games this season, I have no idea. At least under Warnock, you knew how he set them out to play, even if the football was bad and ineffective. McDermott just seemed to pick 11 players and send them out there with nothing.
