I don't really care how many coaching qualifications/badges you have, football is a simple game. Play our players in their best positions. Attack and score more goals than the opposition! None of this inverted wing backs, false centre forwards etc rubbish. Get back to basics! We have plenty of choice.

GK Grimshaw
Right back Casey or Connolly
Left Back Lyons or Gabriel or Husband
Right Half Trybull or Virtue or Dougall
Centre Half Ekpiteta or Pennington
Left Half Norburn
Right Wing Dale
Inside Right Morgan
Centre Forward Lavery or Joseph
Inside Right Weir
Outside Left Hamilton

Gabriel is a right back.

‘Football is simple’

Proceeds to name the most confusing formation I’ve ever seen with absolutely bizarre position names.

Gabriel is a right back, not a left back. Can’t even be arsed looking at the rest of it

And neither Connolly or Casey are Right Backs.

Left half and inside right ffs 🤦‍♂️

Will be suggesting we give the players cigarettes before the game to calm any nerves.
 
If football is that simple, how come you haven’t pursued a career in it? Seems daft to think you could be earning millions from it but you choose not to.
 
Pathe News highlights would be class to be fair.

"Here come those Blackpool boys! Hurrah! Look at tricky Hamilton! He's a dasher! His hopes are dashed though as he takes a tumble. Now here come those Tangerines again. Big long kick! Oh, the little men can't reach it. Never mind Shayne, keep going!"

(You can make up the rest in your head. It's quite good fun. I'm in a much better mood for imagining it to be honest.)

Has to be on of the worst footballing posts I've seen in a long time on this site.

position names are correct
Goalkeeper numbered 1
full backs numbered 2 and 3
centre half numbered 5
half backs numbered 4 and 6
wingers numbered 7 and 11
inside forwards numbered 8 and 10
centre forward numbered 9

half backs are your defensive midfielders inside forwards are your attacking midfielders

It can't be that simple, you don't even know what position half the squad play in. Casey at Right Back? Give over.

Gotta get and keep possession Neil.
I'd go 442 or 4 3.5 2.5 - if u get me - almost 442.
But here's the thing, if, as seems likely, we're intent on playing CJ - then play him up front with Shayne or Joseph to rattle the slow defenders.
He can also provide speedy cover (as he does) for our corners allowing the two CBs to attack the ball in the box.
He can't do much worse than Beesley & Shayne have been doing up top already.

We’re using decimals now 😂 Critch and Sadler will be jotting down some notes from this thread, no doubt.
