Our Teams formation reminds me of !!

The Fooking Anthill Mob with Whitts always shouting "Oh we're gonna crash "
It was like watching a kids game all bunched up together. At one point I noticed every single player was in our own penalty box :o . Malky left it to late to put a winger on (our only one) . We had a midfield four of very similar players no natural width no pace just nice and neat and tidy players.But they aren't playing like that :shock:
Miller is not the problem it's the team selection and tactics that are the problem. We are packing out the centre of midfield and our defence just plays long balls all the time.
At the moment I am very dissapointed we have no ideas and the tactics are all wrong. And I can't see how we are going to score let alone win a Fooking game .

Couldn't agree with you more. How the hell can we play with the 4 midfielders that started tues and again today. They are all too central, getting in each others way. On a few occasions today Whitts was our deepest player. We NEED width. If we can see it then WHY the hell can't Malky.

The team was crying out for Conway :o but he put him on when it was to late. The team was crying out for Whitts to be pushed forward but we put Macca on to late.

I honestly feel MM is sometimes too stuborn, I am not for one minute saying Earnie is the complete answer but surely it is worth picking him instead of Miller to start a game rather than giving him 10 mins :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Things aint happening for Miller at the moment :cry: but he isnt being helped by the rest of the team. But to be fair to Miller we need him as he is our best player at the moment, (In terms of general play not goal scoring feats) but he cant do it all. But Earnie should get a run out :ayatollah:

Anyone with even a passing knowledge of football can see that the current formation is not working.Malky and his staff will surely watch the dvd and see what a mess the last 2 games have been and things need to change.
Going from a 4-4-2 with earnie and miller up front to a 4-5-1 was a brave decision by malky earlier in the season and it worked wonders,opposing teams found it very hard to play well against us,we played the likes of reading and blackpool off their own parks
come on we can still do this,I refuse to accept we were destined to finish in mid table obscurity

We got no width in midfield , we have been lacking a big target man striker all season and we have no creative midfielder in the way that Rambo played on loan last season ....... other teams spent money and we havnt which is why there are 7 teams above us in the League . Maybe time to give Kadeem Harris a game on Weds nite ??
