He should keep it the same against Rotherham. :thumbright: :ayatollah:

How can he play 4 4 2 with only 1 striker?

We only have mason in our first team squad.


Revell and the Mach are awful and only 1 on bench is enough as they are a waste when we have better midfielders than attackers

If Slade reverts he should be shot (or at least maimed)!

Agree he shouldn't change.

Pilkington was upfront today with mason so it was pretty much a 4-4-2. Pilkington was fantastic today

I believe in changing formation depending on what team you play, if we played the same formation at home against a lowly Rotherham then you'd be expecting the same result in different circumstances.
Game by game tactics are the way forward

Lol sort of. Mason did drop a bit at times but the pair of them were up top for most of it. Great performance anyhow

No he is like a robot in everything he does.

He had basically no options today. We will be back to his usual I. No time. It as predictable as him dropping Fabio after a bad result.

I haven't changed my mind it will take more than that to turn me around but I'm just saying is Slade finally learning that 442 is not good enough?

He won't learn.
He will keep with this until we lose the change back to the standard, its what he always does.

Agree but the less he plays 442 the better.

Nothing wrong with 442 at the right time, it has its uses.
But slades predictability makes us easy targets. Thankfully we have plahefs bought by previous managers to keep us going.

If he is he's a slow learner. Most fans have been wanting this formation for the last 27 games.

That is the problem he reacts slowly better late than never I suppose.

A manager should be looking at the situation throughout a game not every half a season :lol:
