    I think that GW should go 4-4-2.

    Taylor up front with Melish in a No10 Lee McCulloch type of roll.

    Back four would be Robinson Kerr, Aimson, Carragher.

    One Winger – Johnny Smith

    Midfield – McHugh, Addeeko, Scott Smith (bench – Weir)

    Steve Bruce has turned Blackpool around with a no nonsense 4-4-2 style :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

      Yeh – Weir is a .. weird one – got quite excited when we re-signed him, but another that adds nothing to the team, not good enough, really expected more from him to be honest.

        When Weir played his first game I was the same I thought, this lads gonna nick a few goals with his attacking style.
        Now whether that was a “First day at work” trying to impress or Maloney preferred him not to go forward so quickly I don’t know.

        As for 4-4-2 ? If we had one genuine forward just one I’d have to agree but we don’t. Taylor isn’t an out and out forward.

        One wingman? that means your opposition simply double up on you. S.Smith seems to have suddenly starting to drop back and slowed his game down God knows why. He use to be snappy in the pass now he’s turning into a studs on the ball roll it forward type of player which seems to be generic at this club.

        At the end of the day, we don’t have wingbacks,
        We only have one half decent winger in J.Smith,

        Our midfielders aren’t creative enough,

        We don’t have a recognised forward,

        Once we lost Aasgaard we lost our creative goal threat.

        I must admit though we’ve had no luck with the 2 injuries especially in the middle also Chambers that was a massive set plus Goodwin as well.

        I know every club has injuries but with a depleted squad it hit us twice as hard.

        As for the club announcement saying their taking their time to choose the right guy ?, I have to agree. There’s no need to rush it as this seasons over with.

        The team basically picks itself whether you like it or not. It’s all about Glenn Whelan getting a couple of wins and draws to get us over the line.

        There’s a full rebuilding job

        My only tip for any new manager is, read the small print. 15 leave in the summer and any new manager has to be given money to spend end of

          I disagree with the club saying they are in no rush to appoint a new manager,

          Until a new manager is appointed this is what we are going to get from the players and coaches they seem to be sulking at the sacking of Maloney a bit of a clique going on here, a protest.

          Whelan set up for a 0-0 draw, the players looked like they were working to rule, show some respect you lazy bastards fans paid good money and took time off work to support you, they deserve better.

          Easy street for too long these players, I hope we appoint a right hard case to sort these lot out, fuming with that showing the other night!

          Maloney should have gone before Christmas, the owners have royally fucked up here, we could still get relegated no way are we safe yet and Whelan isn’t experienced enough to get the necessary points for safety.

          Maloneys sacking and not having anyone lined up just shows the incompetence from the ownership.

          Fuck the EFL

            The thing is with a new manager he won’t have a major challenge on his hands other than win a couple of games that’s it.
            Were not fighting on any front so a couple of win-draws should see us stay up. How we do it right now I don’t care.

            Any new manager will have to personally assess what he’s got player wise then set his stall out only to find out a huge chunk of the players won’t be here next season and he’ll have to start all over again.

            Personally I think appointing a new guy right now won’t help us, we need to clear the decks first.

            This squad lacks, it lacks in quality, depth, and players who will eventually play at a higher level.

            Most of the players we currently have are at their maximum which is L1 level. Let’s get behind Glenn Whelan, he’s been lobbed into the lions den and based on his Mansfield post match interview he wasn’t ready for that.

            I just hope and pray A.Robinson moves to Liverpool in the summer and we land a nest egg. Danson has to give the majority of that to whoever’s in charge to bring in 4-5 good quality players.

            If he pockets it then we know were we stand in the pecking or when it comes to spending.

              I think I would like to see us go a formation like this.

              3-1-4-1-1 (or 2 up front)

              Id play a CDM infront of the defence and behind the midfield. This, I feel would make us harder to break through. We did it in the days of Perkins.
              Id play one winger, Jonny Smith, and the other 3 midfield positions would be to pack the middle. I’d have a CAM playing just behind Taylor, although this could be switched to a front 2.

              I’m just trying to set up with the players we have available.

              I also wouldn’t be opposed to going 4-4-2. The key thing is to get men in the box and get plenty balls played into the box. Our delivery has to be much, much better. Out corners are his far too deep. We want inswinging corners for someone like Carragher or Kerr to get a flick on. Plenty balls in the box. If that means us going direct…then so be it. At this stage of the season, it’s points we need, not plaudits.
              If we need that height, yes I wouldn’t be opposed to pushing Mellish up. You’ve got to try different things to suit the game.
