The Voice - Match preview (a) v Crawley Town - Sat 5 August 2023 3pm

Who is the developed player that a match day 18 has to include?????

 

Only formation I can work from that is 451 or Christmas tree, 4,3,2,1

 

I'm struggling to work it out. Looks like too many defenders and not enough central midfielders. I'm lost.

 

Apparently not

 

Thought we had to have a home grown player in match day squad according to Width of a post podcast ,or if not we could only have 6 subs. No kids on the bench but still 7 subs.

 

Pointon not on the bench. Does that mean we don’t need a home grown player on the bench ?

 

Haven't done for a couple of years now

 

Its 3-4-3

CB - Oyegoke - Taylor - Kelly
WB/CM - Halliday - Smallwood - Pattison - Ridehalgh
FW - Oduor - Cook - Walker

Pretty much we have played last few games!

 

I have spent about 5 mins trying to work out the team. it could be a 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2, 3-5-2 or a 3-4-3. Personally I am going for a 3-4-3

 

Exactly this?! Unless thats after the transfer window shuts and registration closed?

 

glad to see I was spot on with my formation!

 

Jesus christ that defence

 

Playing Oyegoke in the back three would negate his strength in terms of getting forwards and attacking. I'd rather he and Halliday swap.

 

That's a pretty picture!

 

That’s the formation I had. Not the players tho.

 

So just Oyegoke, Halliday, Ridehalgh and Walker playing out of position then?

What could possibly go wrong.

 

The midfield doesn't have a lot of bite in it either.

 

Stubbs injured so guess he made the call. Dont think Hughes is convinced by Platt in all honesty. Will be Platt or Taylor this season.

 

Cheer up, we start with a point and it's ours to lose.......
