Nothing changes whilst Sport Republic are here. They like yes men, who are young and inexperienced so that they do as they are told and question nothing. We are stuck with Tonda, unless it gets a terrible situation like it did with Still. Then the next young hipster manager comes in. |  |

But why would these SR c()nts insist on a back 5? I am confused. | |

Here’s a decent team
Not baz
Not manning-THB-wood-wellie
Jander-Downes
Leo-azziz-fellows
Armstrong
Probably one of the best teams in the championship | |

Come on hungry eyes you know it makes sense, back 4 tomorrow | |

My view is that going to back 4 is not a switch flicking move. It requires significant changes to personnel and quite a few role changes.
Even if we select the right CB's ( most on here think they are all shit) you still need 2 "traditional" FB's...we got any ??
Add in the need for significant changes in midfield shape and the wide attackers' roles in the absence of wing back support.
I wouldn't fancy the next 3 games using "on the job" trainees in a new idea.
Summary...going to back four in the run up to the Fishy Park fixture has low risk-reward .potential. | | | |

All that needs doing is drop manning and Stephens being in Jalert and wellington yiuve got a normal back 4 and fellows further up the pitch, easy. | |

I would ordinarily strongly agree.
However, it doesn’t help that we have played with a back 4 in just two games this season, and they were both a shambles.
Hull City away and the Skates at home. |  |

I think they would need a week or two to work on it in training, and there just isn’t the scope for that in this really crowded schedule of games.
I think we may well see Quarshie, Bragg and Jelert all start today though.
Jelert possibly at the expense of Fellows. [Post edited 1 Jan 9:51]

Personally I rather lose and adjust, trying something different than status quo. |  | | |

Well Status Quo did have a hit with "Whatever you Want".
Maybe Rik Parfitt (RIP) was contemplating the 3 at the back vs back four debate when he wrote it.
For me getting the best eleven on the park is more important than the formation right now. | | | |

Another game and another awful performance with 3/5 at the back. Painful | |

Little bit harsh slagging off the defensive formation that just kept a clean sheet. | | | |

Really? That was a pathetic performance against a shit team never looking like scoring until last minute. | |

we play 5 at the back because we are to sh+t defensively to play as a 4.Loaned out bree and taylor thats looking good business.THB would be ok playing with one other but woods and stephens just arnt good enough in a 4 | | | |

Such a load of Bollox, if we have more attacking players we can play further up the pitch. Everyone I talk to is sick of it. | |

Don’t agree
Jelert and Manning at Full back
THB and Quarshie at CB and we must be bringing better in this month
Then we have an extra body in midfield which we need
Fellows Jander Charles Azaz
Leo in behind
AA up top
3 at the back can work but not with what we have and it encourages the ponderous passing we seem to be unable to shake | | | |

you cant attack for 90 minutes you still got to defend at times,i dont think tonda trusts what we have in a 4 otherwise we would be playing as a 4.I agree we need to move the ball quicker and playing a4 would probably help this but you cant be successfull when youre shipping goals almost every game. | | | |

Quarshie hasn't shown capabilities to play alongside 2 other centre backs, what makes you think he would prosper in a 2 man CB pairing? |  | | |

You can have 3 4 or 5 at the back for all I care. If you don’t have a proven striker and target man who can hold the ball up and get you up the pitch then you don’t win games. Simple. We need a number 9 |  |

This is true. Now that teams are pressing high when we play out from the back, we can't get out. The option to go long is not an option, because 6ft 5, defenders just win the ball, so we need up with the only option of passing between our defenders in our own yard box because there just arn't any other options. The midfielders are marked up and our strikers are too small. | |

I suspect the lack of height up front also impacts on the decision to play 3 centre backs. In theory they should win more defensive headers from set pieces, something not born out in reality! A new big centre forward plus a return of Shea Charles would increase our options significantly. If Shea played as one of three centre backs we could easily move from a 3 to a 2 as needed, especially if a target man replaced one of the small forwards when we were struggling to score. Part of the endless passing sideways across a packed defence is because there is nobody to cross to. | | | |
