W 2-1 vs Notts County (A) - League Two - Sat 9th Dec, 3pm

He’s been out injured in our recent poor run and was key to our better performances at the start of the season, so struggling to understand why him starting is contentious

Is this a 5311 formation or 433 tierney on the wing ?

You may be right. But is it possible MS was just trying to give a witty response?

There doesn’t look many goals in that starting 11. It looks more like must a not lose and take a 0-0 set up to me. Not much on the bendh to call upon if it goes tits up, either.

Good question. Can’t see where else Tierney would be given the line up, but would seem odd to play him there.

Perhaps

Smith

Okabague
DD
farq
Gordon

Mcentee
Comley

Stirk

Tierney
Knowles

Draper

I think it’s a back 3 with 2 defensive midfielders sitting just infront
A lot of long balls for draper to lose

My guess is a 433 but Tierney and Knowles as more just behind or flanking Draper than them playing out wide.

Yes similar to what I was trying to convey

Hoofball ahoy with that line up

I would prefer to start a player on our books to a loanee, unless the loan player is clearly better.

Tierney has not looked good since coming back from injury, and I was not as impressed as you were earlier in the season.

Fair enough. I also get frustrated with playing loan players, but it is what it is

Its going to be a great day, backed up with nothing but delusional optimistic enthusiasm… This could be the start of Knowles season!

Feel for Matt though, he should have got his chance today and support to Draper would have worked very well.

Surely Matt would suit better than draper in this defensive hoof ball line up?

Looks like the team has been selected based on a back to the wall battle.

Surprised no one picked up the shushing gesture on the team graphic :joy:

Well line up has made my mind up. Staying in the bars supping hop juice.

I sincerely hope I regret this decision

Any excuse :wink:

He can shush me if he scores… We will probably lose him in the new year when Guyana :guyana: get invaded and hes called up for national service… Kinda call up we dont expect.
