Loss or a draw based on how we are playing against opposition who are lower than us in the league.

Moses if McCallum isn't available. I assume Wallace won't be. None of the three strikers can start.

We were lucky to get one away point. Won't be easy to get that or more this time either.

Mobility and activity up front compared to the static manikins we usually play. Can drop back in the hole to assist Chair. You might be surprised.

I like this team but Warbs seems committed to playing with three centre backs. Generally we need them as before we were letting in far too many goals but against these supposedly weaker sides we are struggling to break down the extra man in midfield would be useful. Just changing it up occasionally might give the opposition something to think about. At the moment think our formation is entirely predictable and the Peterboroughs, Barnsleys and Hulls just camp behind the ball and we don't have the bodies/ nouse/ speed to break them down - one goal in three against some of the weakest teams in the division tells its own story alas. |

Having three at the back is supposed to add two more players to MF when in possession, though. I don't think the problem has been our formation. Just think MW has been picking the wrong starting 11. And when things have gone wrong he's been too slow to adapt. The exact same criticisms were levelled at him in the first half of last season, before things turned round from January '21.
In the 70's and 80's 4-4-2 was far more fashionable. The fullbacks would make overlapping runs though, so they would still double as wingers, OR interchange that role with the two wide midfielders. Perhaps it's time for a return to that...

Early in the season Dickie was charging forward and causing panic in opposition midfields/ defences - but none of the centre halves break forward now. So even against very mediocre attacks we have three big, immobile lumps sitting at the back, not contributing anything going forward. And with Field and Stef playing equally negatively (and virtually as deep) its no wonder we aren't scoring goals. For me this formation could work, but it needs to press forward more and it needs one central defender and at least one midfielder to break into forward positions as you describe - and actually hit some forward passes. I don't think the issue is particularly with the personnel - lots of fans cried out for Amos and he came in and was arguably even worse. Warbs dropped Johansen who had been badly off form. Last game we changed the goalkeeper, left wing back midfield and striker. He has actually made quite a few changes in terms of players but not a great deal has changed in terms of performance or result. |

Just need to motivate the players we have
Hard press should come back we are so lazy in the first half most of the time
Centre Midfield seems to be a massive problem atm for me
Strikers need service to get goals
Dykes is shit he needs dropping play gray and Austin at least they are goal scorers some times also give Dom Ball a chance cannot be any worse really

Stefan Johansen met the Norwegian R`s on a Teams platform last night and I have to say that the meeting was interesting and entertaining on the whole. He said that it was a very tough experience to play 3 matches a week, but that the squad on the whole relished the fact that this season could end with promotion. As far as I remember he actually stressed that playoff and promotion was still pretty much the aim.  |

We haven’t got one. |

You might be right. Are they instructed to keep it tighter at the back or have they lost confidence, or is it a lack of movement ahead? |

He’s cost us more goals doing it then he’s created He`s not awful at it imo, but they eventually found out have we played and blocked him, and the rest is history: we conceded because nobody covered him...Dickie lost a bit confidence after those goals against I think. |
