Tyler looking leaner.

Maybe add in the run, control and cross for the crucial winning goal and you may start to get some questions.

So it's 5221 then.

Apologies Einstein. What is our formation today?

New term to me - what is a box midfield?

So what formation will we play with 5 at the back and those 3 in midfield?

So Will has failed to learn that Armstrong through the middle has never worked.

Struggling to figure out who will play where or what the starting formation will be. Assuming we start 5 at the back where do Fernandes, Charles and Downes fit in? This is either tactical genius or we're going to look very disjointed and not offer much threat going forward.

I don't know but my guess is that he's piled on a fair bit of timber since he was 19. He always looks overweight to me compared with most professional footballers. Maybe it's an optical illusion.

The problem is you get outnumbered in midfield unless your players are smart enough to play3 at the back with wing backs - our players do not know how to do it. We must get Fernandes, Charles and Downes in midfield tomorrow which means ditching 3 at the back and changing to a back 4.

No thanks based on that.

Tyler will lose out on a huge chunk of money if he doesn't.

Don't recall his words....did he actually specify he was hoping for incomings this week?

Yeah, they're usually brilliant.

What do you think Will Still's answer would have been other than things are happening but nothing to announce at this time?

Seems to be growing into this part of his role. Thought he came cross as a lot more relaxed today and spoke a lot of sense.

Agree with this.

Yeah, spotted my mistake and just edited it 🙂 We could always play rush goalies.

If they play 4231 we need to match up or go 433 or 442 because continuing with 5 at the back will leave our 3 midfielders completely outnumbered. I hope Will is as smart as I think he is.

I guess we might see him on the bench on Sunday but more likely he'll be left out of the squad this week.

A big defeat is always a completely bad thing.

This guy looks very good. Wonder if there is anything in this.

Wouldn't mind a team something like this. WS will likely opt for a back 5 though.

I take your point but, from what I've seen in the first two games, we need more numbers in midfield. If it's not rectified I think Ipswich will dominate us on Sunday and it'll be tough to get anything from the match.

Probably headed for Fawley refinery.
