Match Thread Bradford City V Newport County Saturday 24/10/2020

I can't make sense of what formation we are playing with that line up, it surely can't be a 4-4-2? It looks that way based on the official twitter but it just doesn't fit. Maybe a 4-3-3 with a midfield three of Watt, Cooke and Clarke?

 

Even wide right he offers more than DMH, Clarke in for Pritchard hardly a surprise not unhappy with that starting 11.

 

Maybe Stuart is thinking if all our strikers are on at once we must score!

 

Love the positivity of that.

I they don't we're, well, erm, the equivalent of not doing well.

 

I'm bemused by that team selection.

 

It definitely won't be a 4-4-2 with that starting line-up 'not in a month of Sundays'... there's no way he's playing Clarke left wing 4-2-1-3 if we have to put a label on it?

 

Love the positivity of that.

I they don't we're, well, erm, the equivalent of not doing well.

 

Search ifollow Bradford City... it's on there.

 

Tinker tinker, prepared for failure.

 

A lovely narrow formation......

Well, worked well against Harrogate.....

He just can't keep the same formation, can he? Even if there's changes for knocks and injuries why can't we stick with a formation?

 

And people think he should just stay and not be judged on results this season when he tinkers about like this.

I'm confused by this team. Hope it works out.

 

If it does we won't hear from you all afternoon.

Win win all way round

 

Oh you will!!

 

It is obvious Hosannah is injured, Donaldson can't play 4 games in a row and folk on here were complaining about DMH on Tuesday. Perhaps Samuels is capable of putting crosses onto the heads of the strikers?

 

Simple game no need to overthink things. Just need a defence that's solid and well drilled and an attack that knows where the goals are. Midfield to link back to front and shoot on site when the chance arises. And a plan (or two)! Optimistic of us getting 3 points today.

 

You should really make more with the break in the weather and get some more cars cleaned before leeds gets locked down.

 

You might have failed to notice but the lockdown is a little pointless as it is.

 

It's going to be an interesting game.

They are a fairly settled team playing a set formation with a manager who's there for the long haul assuming there isn't a run of terrible results.

We're none of those things and especially the weekly "formation lottery" will kill us I fear. Why we can't just stick to one formation with occasional tweaking is beyond me.

 

Well this has started well
