    I agree but Bowyer seems to like his 4-3-3 but I agree, Wood's crossing seems to have been our best weapon so far.

    Donaldson is okay in the air, but not better than Vaughan - he seems to prefer the ball to his feet, where he can either take on his man or lay the ball off to someone else.

    I don't see why there is a misconception that he has to play central?

    Having said that, he wasn't playing out wide for the first two games, it was a front two with Doyle behind. The only time I believe he's drifted out wide for a while was against Oldham at home, and from that position he actually created a goal for Scannell.

    We did until Henley went off at Stevenage then he switched to 4-3-3 and Donaldson played wider and the midfield was pretty ineffective. From what I saw on Tuesday Devine, Akpan and Palmer are not an effective midfield 3. If he wants to play 4-3-3 he needs new players.

    Well then, we'll just have to pray one of them doesn't get injured, so we can continue whacking off and savour every moment of us shithousing this league. Let's enjoy it rodge! :thumbup:

    Simon Parker said we beat off a lot of competition for him. How long has he left on his contract

    I believe I read his contract runs to the end of this season.

    We do, let’s hope GB has this covered.

    Devine doesn't do anything with the ball. Don't need clamness in this league.

    If he plays Callum Saturday, maybe time to bring in Paudie as he appears ready, enabling AOL to add defensive steel to our midfield.

    Forest green have been playing 3-4-3 so if we stick with 4-4-2 we won’t see much of the ball so I wouldn’t be surprised to see a midfield of Gibson Palmer and Cooke or possibly Devine if Cooke isn’t ready and possibly McCarten Donaldson and Vaughan upfront

    Who saying anything about being scared it’s sensible if a team packs midfield to match them up otherwise if you play 2 there you cede possession
