    When have you seen us attack with pace.

    If we did we would be in div 1.

    Also remind yourself that Bowyer is it of a bottler.

    Bowyer needs to start playing his strongest team and stop worrying about easing them players in. They will get fitter by starting games and getting an hour out of them. Cooke and Paudie have to play.

    O'Donnell

    Mellor Paudie BRE Wood

    Connolly Devine Cooke Pritchard

    Donaldson Vaughan

    I'm not a big fan of Devine but I find Palmer escapes a lot of criticism when he doesnt really do much. At least Devine puts himself about.

    Here's hoping the 'rule of the ex' doesn't apply, today. :(

    Keep Olomola quiet and I think we can stop Carlisle.

    Most Carlisle fans on social media expecting a beating. Don’t think they are too keen on Pressley

    Just go against everything and anything in the hope we lose so they can sit back and say “told you so”. Pathetic

    The operational word here is "pretty" meaning almost, so tinkering has taken place

    The move to 4-4-2 is welcome and the right way to go for the vast majority of games and yes I did advocate such a move many games ago and welcome his conversion, You will never win every game but a good win ratio is essential to gain promotion, Within the formation he continues to tinker with selection and by now should know his best team, The problem is he does like to tinker by swapping CBs for no reason, Changing players in midfield and chopping and changing, History teaches one thing in football and that is a settled side will always do better than one constantly evolving,
    As for making it up I have been consistent throughout on wanting 4-4-2 or a version of 4-3-3 which is similar to 4-4-2 to that a lot of the worlds top sides use
    There are some very good books explaining football its coaching and tactics and suggest you invest in reading some before attacking other posters and making yourself look a bit silly

    First of all I’m attacking no posters so don’t embarrass yourself by coming across so precious. As for tinkering team selection, every manager and coach does it including Pep and Klopp. Players aren’t robots there is such things as fitness and form, as with Cooke Bowyer has already explained his reasoning in the T and A if you want to ignore the facts that’s up to you. As for reading coaching books, you sound like Rahic I know football. If only football were so simple, nobody would lose would they, I’d expect such nonsense from someone who defended last years players and always laid the blame elsewhere though.

    I laid the blame where it squarely lay with an incompetent manager and a chairman who like in the past waited far to long to take action,A fair amount of last years players are playing at a higher level partly proving my point that it was poor management not the players,

    If that’s what you think okay. I prefer to share the blame out amongst all those who stole a wage, that includes players who at times gave nowhere near 100%.

    I partly agree, The fact is that the players we had were demotivated by a poor manager who preferred to bully players and punish them instead of building team spirit, There can be few players who would not care about giving everything to such a manager, The comments from the players after he had gone testified to the fact the club was a different and much happier place after he went
