northam soul Posted 19 September, 2023 Share Posted 19 September, 2023 It was quite simple really, put Charles in midfield and Bednarek or Holgate at centre back. Aribo is not up to the task of playing in there so god help us. Humble pie cooked and waiting to be served. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted 19 September, 2023 Share Posted 19 September, 2023 Why the hell would you not play Charles in midfield given the opportunity? Why would you play the exact same back 4 who looked horrendous just 4 days ago? Clueless. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a mental line up. Absolutely mental. I think there'll be a curve ball though, Fraser at full back perhaps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suhari Posted 19 September, 2023 Share Posted 19 September, 2023 When you need to toughen up the midfield there's only one man for the job. Step forward Joe Aribo! The Scottish Romeu. Rusty?

The Kraken Posted 19 September, 2023 Share Posted 19 September, 2023 So we’ve shipped 9 in 2 and we’re now trying a midfield that has zero holding midfielders in it. Basically a 4-1-5 formation. It’s a bold strategy Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for ‘em. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted 19 September, 2023 Share Posted 19 September, 2023 One would presume Bednarek is not ready for 90 yet. Holgate neither (or just crap?). Either way, I suspect he doesn't want to play Charles at CB but that it's the best option. He sees them in training and gets fitness reports. I'm pretty certain that's not a tactical decision but does illustrate our DM weakness. Our attacking bench looks strong, but let's hope we don't need it!

sfc4prem Posted 19 September, 2023 Share Posted 19 September, 2023 I truly hope that team surprises me. Again it looks like our 'spine', the central hub of our midfield and defence, is as flimsy as a fucking wet lettuce leaf. I predict we will be fucked over massively by Ipswich, 4-2.

Convict Colony Posted 19 September, 2023 Share Posted 19 September, 2023 (edited) I've solved it. Martin knows Aribo is never going to bust a gut to get into the box when we attack so will be perfectly placed for any counter attacks. On a more serious note I would say Aribo can pass the ball and it's hard to get it off him at least. I pray for a miracle but expect a disaster tonight.
