    It’s been a hit and miss start. But now we have the window closed let’s hope it settles down.

    Just don’t see the need for every thread mocking him, when in my opinion, he’s not failed yet. It’s early days

    Bowyer achieves promotion with Blackpool playing 4 3 3.

    City fans: He should know after 6 games that no other formation can work but 4 4 2.

    It seems a bit mentally unhinged to ask Bowyer not to mention Blackpool.

    Like, he doesn't mention it that much, yet there seem to be a few weirdos frothing at the mouth about a subject that remains relevant.

    Exactly. All his bad run came in a league above where we are now and probably with a smaller budget.

    Seriously? Have you completely forgotten the past couple of years and the utter devastation wrecked on this club by a certain individual? Did you honestly think turning all of that around was going to be a piece of p!ss?

    So what's it going to be today folks?

    Seems Pritchard will be starting.

    3 or 4 at the back?

    Apart from the injured players coming back Bowyer should know now which players are capable of playing his prefered formation.
    He has a very good squad for league two football, our front two possibly the best pairing in the league, the defence looks very capable of shutting teams out, so as most acknowledge he has to identify the midfield players who are going to be in contention for a regular starting place.

    If he'd played that formation for the first 6 games you'd have a point.

    He didn't though and you don't.

    Absolutely. No distractions of the transfer window now and 100% focus on what happens on the pitch. Lets hope we start to see a settled formation now and much less tinkering.

    That's definitely not a logically sound argument, but that never bothered you before so we can leave that there.

    A bit different. Parky had earned our patience and respect.

    So another win playing 4-4-2 then. Just need a midfield general from somewhere, and sorted

    3 out of 3 for the formation.

    We'r haven't played especially great but you can't argue with the points tally.
