I am now actually concerned about relegation -

Maybe a Crooks as striker and then Forss Hackney Lath behind with Hackney as 10? -

I'm not sure we would need the midfield destroyer, if your not expecting to see much of the ball or under the cosh for large periods then yes you definitely need one, but when we're playing to have majority of the ball and press high when out of possession I don't think it's a necessity -

That's the stability we desperately need to be a success and I really hope that MC is that coach. -

I think we have to change shape to a 3 man midfield, we've lost the midfield battle in every game so far and has been a big contributing factor to our poor results so far. A midfield 3 of Hackney, O'Brien and Barlaser would give us a much better chance then playing a 2 man midfield and a number 10 -
Only issue is can Hackney and O'Brien be those hard workers? I really feel we've got a good player in Barlaser but we aren't playing at all to his strengths

I'd like to see us go 433 as I think we need the extra man in midfield, not necessarily a tough tacking DM either, I'd like to see Barlaser sitting slightly deeper than both Hackney and O'Brien, utilising Barlaser and his excellent passing skills to start attacks with the other 2 further forward so when attacking its more of a 4141 then out of possession back to a 433 to make it harder for teams to play through us and be a bit more compact could work well

Why haven't the mods deleted this pathetic topic yet?

I don't think it will be league one mate but I also don't think it will be top 6, I reckon we will be somewhere between 10th and 14th but I expect improvement season on season over that and in all honesty promotion in the next 3 to 4 years.

Trying hard to do the glass half full thing here. Is this season the proper start of our new "project" as in buying young, improve and sell high, we have to start somewhere and maybe this is the one step back to go 2 steps forward? By next season these players will be regular starters and we buy more young players with potential to integrate into the side and so on. If that's the case maybe this will be where we're at our weakest and we should get stronger and stronger from here

Any words from Carrick yet?
-
This international break could not have come at a better time. Carrick needs to use these 2 weeks to really rake stock of what he has at his disposal, he no longer has Akpom or a player of his calibre so we need to change the tactics and formation to suit our strongest players. For me we have to move to a 433 as we're being over run in midfield and i wouldn't be against seeing Barlasser sit behind O'brien and Hackney, I think Rogers would perform better as a wide forward and I think the new lad from Holland will give us a greater outlet on the left hand side. He needs to find a

Was there any booing at full time or was the stadium empty?

I just don't understand what the *** has happened. How is it possible to go so far backwards in so little time
-
Einstein theory on madness somes us up to perfection. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result
-
It's a bit unfair on Carrick, he lost his best 5 players and had them replaced with a load of young, unproven players who are nowhere near the standard of the players they've replaced.

No Forss in the squad

Yesterday was a bit of a whirlwind and bar another striker I think overall we've had a good window

Real bizarre point, to be fair to CT he usually posts really good well thought out posts but maybe not so much with this one 😂
