I don't think anyone has an agenda - it's football and that's that.
However, I think last night was an obvious opportunity to try a more attacking formation e.g. 442 God forbid!
If we're not going to try 2 strikers against the bottom club, then when on earth are we!? Personally, I'd be very concerned if BBM's whole tactical approach is limited to just one front man, particularly when we're at home.

That's 2 league defeats at home on the bounce. Let's hope that's the end of it because there will be many teams taking note and coming to the CCS to defend and frustrate. We have to deal with it.

442 is gone. Nobody plays like that anymore and for good reason.

What cost us last night wasn't the formation, wasn't the way we played, wasn't the crosses. It was the missed opportunities.

Sort out the finishing and we'll be fine.

Bradford was a poor result , we were lucky at Stockport and now a poor team beats us at home ?

442? We had 77% of the ball!

We are best in the division for possession and 6th in the division for goals scored. We are best in the division for goals conceded. These are promotion statistics, regardless of what happened last Tuesday.

You change your system if you are Port Vale who are bottom of the goals list, or (ironically) Burton Albion who concede the most.

This forum can be bonkers at times, specifically after a blip.
