    This bloody formation debate.

    Perhaps the OP has hit on something here .The fact the formation requires lengthy explanation and interpretation says it all. Once you have what amounts to some players playing a duplicity of roles you can fall between 2 stools attacking or defending plus you have 3 centre backs occupying the...

    We are 6th after an indifferent start to the season with gradual improvement. Now just imagine where we will be once we hit top gear.

    Do you still back Critchley?

    Do we actually have any genuine wing backs?.By definition you have to be equally good going forward and back and the fact Critchley operates with Hamilton and Connolly would suggest not. Even played on the correct side Hamilton isn't half a full back and Connolly isn't half a winger.Some would...

    I believe 100% in this squad…

    To me it's a simple case of does the workplace(team) believe that what they are doing is the right thing. I think not.Critchley may well be correct that 352 offers the best recipe for success but not with the tools currently at his disposal. Play to your strengths whatever that formation turns...

    Players prepared to drop down levels to play

    What doesent help is clubs having inflated squads containing players who only play occasionally and earn a great deal of money for achieving very little. Hard to swap from that ultimately when the time comes.It also prevents the homegrown prospects naturally progressing and having something...

    MCLF: sort of a preview - the Curious Case of Rob Apter

    Apter will benefit no doubt however we miss out in the interim at least.The lad can play simple as that. He also makes others play because they know he can.Best we have produced in a generation.

    Transfer rumours

    It's very unfortunate that Joseph has so far not had the opportunity to show his worth.He is by far the largest investment we have made in sometime. His value as part of the Yates deal has been somewhat lost and forgotten about but must be in the 750k-1M region if the total Yates fee as...

    It really is a simple fix

    4411 with lefties on the left and righties on the right.We don't need 3/5 at the back.Its not complicated.In a 4 everyone has one job and is facing the right way on the correct side of the pitch in the right area. We are undertaking the everyday equivalent of asking the Window Cleaner to Rewire...

    Rhodes on fire

    It's much about knowing where to be instinctively both to receive and score.His record speaks for itself. If nothing else he is an out and out goalpoacher who will occupy defenders and give others space and midfielders an option to find. We haven't had anyone of that type in quite some...

    Rhodes announced

    He has a better goals ratio than Billy Sharp and is 4 years younger .Folks would be doing cartwheels had we signed the former. Judge him in Tangerine

    Jordan Rhodes on loan

    His experience may prove invaluable to others regardless of how many he scores himself.Its how many we score collectively. That's not to say a level down with fresh surroundings he may prove an inspired signing on the goals front anyway.Are we stronger if he comes?.Absolutely

    Lewis Fiorini

    Paul Scholes wouldn't have won a school dad's race even his prime.He was always in space in receipt (brain) and knew where the ball was going before arrival (vision).

    First goal on Sat

    Thompson will stand a far better chance of having a good game with the crowd behind him.He plays in tangerine at the end of the day.

    Why not have a pre printed book of tickets you tear out game by game called a season ticket book and handover on entry or for non season ticket holders pay cash on entry.No worries and simple.Oh hang on......
