It has taken Bob two and a half years but he has changed his formation and we finally seem to have a formation the players can play. It’s early days but after the last two matches I feel a lot more confident for the rest of the season. Us Darksiders have been urging Bob to try something else as his plan A did not work, he has and look whats happened.
Well done Bob goodpost goodpost goodpost
Christ, I wondered how long it would be before some spare-room tactical genius on here tried to claim credit for a recent slight change in our fortunes. Might have known it would be you.[/quote]
Where in my post did I take credit for our change in tactics???? Although you cannot deny that I have on numerous occassions suggested we needed to change tactics, formation. I was giving credit because we have looked 100% better in our last two matches, long may it continue.[/quote]
Well, I’d suggest the bit were you mentioned that “us Darksiders have been urging Bobby to change formation and tactics”. The mere thought that Bobby would bother his arse to listen to anybody on these message boards is frankly laughable.
In any case, JR is spot on elsewhere on this thread where he puts the improvement down more to players finding form, fitness and no little confidence rather than the slight tweak in formation.
He’s also right in saying that the usual prats will all be back with their doom and gloom if, as is quite likely, we lose on Monday.[/quote]
Sorry Griff I have to disagree, Caldwell turns like a static caravan but as the centre of a back three he very rarely gets turned. Also Gomez would struggle to tackle his Christmas Dinner but with the new formation he has less responsibility when we don’t have the ball. The formation seems to suit the players better and as I said before long may it continue.
Also anyone who expects a result from Old Trafford and moans if we don’t get one needs ragging. If we don’t get stuffed I’ll be happy.
If McCarthy starts to find his intended target when passing instead of coming up short then we will be even better in midfield ! I counted 8 passes on Wed that had us under Unnecessary pressure, all from McCarthy ! Dont get me wrong, he puts in a shift but his passing is dire at times !
