    Makes sense if they have worked hard this week. We need options and have been lacking that for the last few months

    Crazy weather here. Black and raining blankets in a 60-70mph very turbulent wind that's breaking off tree branches. Next minute, sunny and 10mph. What will get get this afternoon? Also, it's 7C at Linton and 1.9C 30 miles north at Leeming. It's 7.6C at Scarborough and 1.7C at Whitby. So, it's warm or cold, sunny or cloudy, raining, snowing or dry, and windy or calm. It depends where you are and what it was doing two minutes ago.

    I just shudder when I read "five at the back". I'm hoping you mean a consistent three with the two wider guys going up and down and spending more time up the field hopefully!

    All Bourne out by his ridiculous 1st press conference he looked like a little boy lost
    Why couldn't either Mr Rupp or Mr Rhodes have sat alongside him to publicly welcome him to the club and outline any plans they may have would have gone a long way to reassure fans and boost today's attendance. Just get the feeling Hopkin knew exactly what's coming and thought no way !!
    Jim Jeffries springs to mind

    Think a few on here are mixing up Negativey and Realism
    The fans need to be given something to feel positive about a lot could have been made of the signing of the manager whose is charged with keeping us up James Mason would have been in his Element and that's what's still missing Even now Mr Rahic is no longer in the building (but still a shareholder) the fans are being kept in the dark as to future plans.
    I imagine season ticket sales are low and no wonder if the powers that be can't be bothered to turn up at a press conference to announce our new manager and create a bit of interest to boost sales

    Well yeah 5 doesn’t have to be negative but it is there to defend when you need to defend and attack when we have the ball.

    It is a badly flawed formation that fails to create chances and leaks goals, Usually ends up with a CB exposed and then picking the ball out of the net

    With no wingers it’s a better option than the plunder our way down the middle we played before

    Using your fullbacks/ wingbacks as wingers when needed is even worse, The ball will be played in to the space behind them drawing your central defenders out of position to cover and crosses will flow in to your box to an undefended attacker

    Someone like an akpan has to know to step into the back 3 when needed to cover. No formation provides 100% cover.

    All academic now anyway.

    Back 4 with caddis dropped for Mellor.

    Think bowyer favours height at the back. 4-5-1?

    Payne dropped
