Rotherham v Blackpool Official Matchnight Thread 14.09.22

Think I’d take a draw now. We’ve got a dire record against Rotherham and so has Appleton.

We need a QPR esq breaking of the bad trend, but the Hawkeye mess up and the Nobber ref are already making me nervous 😬
 
He likes to stick with the team and I like that too. Play well, keep the shirt.
Play crap, bench or worse.

5-2-3 suits us. It seems to make sense.

He might revert to 4-3-3 when players are fit or at home but with our wing backs it looks balanced
 
He seems to have taken to the 5-3-2.

I presume this is because he hasn’t quite got the midfielders available to start yet for his preferred formation.
Quite like 5-3-2 myself.
It seems to me with 4-3-3 it is more likely you will get a duff performance. Not enough quality, or variety in the midfield 3, or a slight mistake in the set up and you can get a bit of a fiasco. 5-3-2 seems more stable, but I suppose the problem with it is having the right players to play wing back?

The BBC has us 3-4-3 which actually looks right bit Thompson a right midfielder? Or a sort of wing back? Or are the beeb wrong, impossible I know.
