Why try to play some complex techincal 4-2-1-3 formation when we have just won the last two games?   You can't ask players at this level who train 2-3 hours a week to learn a whole new system.

Just play 4-4-2, it doesn matter if they do any 4-1-4-1 nonsense, we're at home and we have the quality to beat them on the pitch.

I like Lee Sinnott but that was a dreadful dreadful error.

Add in to that every single player being poor and you have the worst peformance of the season.  

Slight positive, Duncan Watmores enthusiasm and zip.  That was it.

Wrong from start to finish today and in front of 844 as well.

Agree completely, kinda said it in the above thread.

[markecky]

and while I'm on a rant (with apologies in advance to Phil Taylor) can we make Mark Lynch is the last player we sign who has been released by Man Utd.

Their heads must go completely and they never ever seem to recover.

[GolfRoader]

couldn't believe it. We looked so one-dimensional. It was just like the first half against Stalybridge, we had no width and seemed to just knock it around the edge of their area before trying to fire a high ball in which almost always went either wide, over the bar or to the keeper. Bizarre

[jhcorbett]

Agree 100% - the formation was far too experimental and funky. Too many players playing out of their best positions. We need to keep it simple.

I'd have been cheekily tempted to give Duncan Watmore man of the match based on his 20 mins or so, as the rest were very poor today.

[erimus]

and to sound like Roy Keane, why did Lawrie come on wearing gloves? Looked like a big girl's blouse and played like one as well (which at least - with the exception of Watmore - matched the rest of them)

I agree with all of that. What frustrated me was that it was clear to everyone at 1-0 that we weren't going to create anything with no width but he waited until 2-0 and game over to introduce a winger.

Very disappointing to hear that we got it so wrong today after getting our hopes up again over the last 7 days.

What was wrong with Coburn? He saved a penalty!

[RocketDan]

Has Sinnott been smoking crack or something?

Densmore at leftback was the most bizarre thing ever, he looked so uncomfortable on the ball.


I am a fan of the 433 formation when employed with two wingers but today we played too narrow (until lawrie and dunc came on)

It's a shame nicky clee wasn't there today. We need to play 442 with clee and lawrie as wide men. 3 upfront doesn't work when we played so narrow. Twiss looked ok

[joe]

Round holes,square pegs etc. Densmore was totally out of sorts at left back and should never be asked to play there again and he started the leagues top scored on the right hand side!!

[Jenga]

Pumping balls in the air to a tall defensive line was not the best tactics employed today.

Shocking performance.

[Jezza]

I assumed everything was going according to lee's plan as he didn't seem too put out or keen to change things....woeful today Lee!

[Timperley The Best]

Mark lynch isn't a centre half,as for richman ,miles and twiss ?

[andyc]

Why not play Lees at centre back instead of moving Lynch, especially seeing Sappleton is about 16 Stone at least. Then to top it all Densmore plays at left back, never played there as far as I know. CRAZY!! Never seen Miles play before, seems like he was treading water, is he always that slow. Totally wrong tactics with no width, big chance to get in play offs missed. Its going to be tough now with our run in but saying that we seem to step it up against the better teams. Also well done Duncan Watmore, he showed good pace and at least attacked the full back causing some problems. Back to 4-4-2 please Lee.
