Why are people including Matias and Forestieri?

They're training, let's give everyone a lift

Jostle is to all intents an purposes playing for his job in the forthcoming fixture.

 

It's inconceivable that he doesn't know that.

 

If we field the same outfit which took to the field on Saturday, and employ the same tactics, then we'll be walloped.

 

Jos will have the dubious honour of being the manager in charge when this club suffered its heaviest defeat to the Blades in almost 70 years...not to mention getting his marching orders.

 

A walk of shame.

 

His only hope (and ours) is to change tack at the back, and bring the old contemptibles back from obscurity.

 

If he has the humility to do this - and FF can play the last 20 mins - then we have an outside chance.

Great post.

Their defence is dead slow. All we have to do is wait for their wingbacks to push on and them lump the ball up to the halfway behind them and have our strikers, wingers run on to it. We won’t do that of course because we insist on playing it out from the back

.....,.,,,,,,,,,,Dawson

Palmer .Lees Hector Thorniley Fox

FF.....Ppessy......Bannan...Reach

.........,,,,,.....Joao

 

Got to play 5 defenders after the embarrassing defending last few games. If Forestieri not fit then I guess 532 with Fletcher upfront

Genuine question about Matias - it was reported (2nd Oct) he had hamstring injury five weeks ago, with an anticipated return of 'two weeks'. I know it's becoming a bit of a joke quote, but how come two weeks becomes five?

Because we don't really know what to believe anymore?

 

From pre-season onwards players and manager seem to have clear disagreements about whether they're fit or not.

FF and Reach are on the wrong flanks and Fox should never play.  But other than that its getting there.

I don't get why you would pick Joao as a loan striker and leave Fletcher out.

Going in to such a big game we are so underprepared it’s untrue, there is nothing wrong with being flexible during matches. But to go from a back 3,4 to 5 every week is PATHETIC and there is no wonder we are shipping goals and are so unorganised  , we are a bit jack of all formations and master of none. Pre season we should have established our best formation for the players we had and stuck with that. He doesn’t seem to fancy many of the older players who have brought us our most successful period in 20 years. The core of our playoff side is still here. He didn’t even play Forestieri when he was fully fit earlier this season. Even if we win on Friday all it will do is sweep all this under the carpet.

Absolutely this mate he had a free go end of last season as we were safe to get a good formation work it or tinker and set it in stone over summer to go straight on start of the season. We were playing so well with three at the back...got more points second half of season than the pigs and then he changes it...beggars belief and makes absolutely no sense

--------------- Westwood -------------

 

Reach ------ Bannan ---- Penney

 

Foresteri - Joao - Fletcher - Borukuv Hooper - Winnall

 

 

United are flying at the minute so we shouldn't handicap ourselves by playing 11, or having players stand in defence to provide them assists. Strikers on crutches should provide us with more pace and movement than seen in recent weeks. 

I love this formation, unfortunately Jos would still tell them to play out from the back so we'd be stuffed.

Need to play cautiously of course, but also need something down the other end to hold up the ball and give us some respite.  Fletcher is a must for that and if Fessi isn't fit then I think you have to goa Joao alongside, inconsistent of course but other than Reach how many other genuine goal threats do we have available right now?  Also his pace is another outlet when we look for an out ball.

 

So...

 

          Westwood (but it'll be Dawson)

    Lees      Hector      Pudil

        Hutchinson (but it'll be Pessy)

Palmer    Reach    Bannan          Penney (but it'll be Fox)

           Fletcher   Joao (but it'll be Nuhiu)
