Hattersley playing centre half ??
« on: September 10, 2016, 03:06:17 PM »

Well, that's a strange selection to say the least..but I'll wait until the end before any direct criticism !

Looks like he's playing 4-4-2 , with Hobson and Reeves up front with Lawrie and Lynch playing outside Moult and Goodhall.

Hopefully we'll get an update from the guys who have made the trip on the shape and formation. Need a win today, good luck boys!

Strange decision, but in all fairness, when you've not kept a clean sheet all season and your first choice centre backs are injured... Hope it works out.

Well. No clean sheet again. I'm not sure we'll pose a threat without Miller or Cain on the flanks.

Playing as a sweeper as he did at Halifax under JH.


Same old though. 1-0 down from a corner

It sounds really, really terrible. So much so that I've switched it off. I know poor Jim can turn it round given time and a bit more luck, but I wonder at what point our chairman really does begin to regret Young's appointment.

2-0 down, safe to say that experiment has failed.

Sounds like another gutless display

If you'd have said that we would be bottom of National League North, this time last year I'd have laughed. If someone tells me we'll be bottom of Unibond Premier League, this time next year, I won't laugh.

Once Jim gets his two centre backs back, we will find out if this team is capable of staying up without wholesale changes again ie 50 percent to go

We have to hope the duffers are not on 12 month contracts or hope Duncan sells for five million - otherwise things could be a lot worse

If only we had acted sooner and stayed up - albeit we are where we are now on merit

Alas, it's not just the lack of centre backs. Our midfielders are too similar and lack mobility.  We also have no overlapping full backs or creativity in wide positions. In short, it is a mess and I disagree strongly with anyone who thinks we should stick with this squad. At least half of them are inadequate for Conference North.

I said it in a previous post. Not one of them is guaranteed to be at the club by xmas. Possible exception of reeves. He needs 5 in. Squad of 19. Current squad 24. So thats ten out.

Terrible times. Seems like our only natural and decent full back is Densmore who might never return to his old best. Only one decent centre back in Hannigan, Cyrus potential. Only one decent mobile midfielder in Moult but is only a defensive/ sweeper not box to box. Richman has dropped off and Goodall too slow and similar to Moult. Lawrie is OK at this level but only behind a striker NOT out wide. We have no wingers at all. Miller is OK but a central player and only one striker. That makes about 5 or 6 outfield players that I feel are gof enough.  May go up to 7 or 8 if Miller and Cyrus improve. We have the worst squad in years. Young has completely ripped us apart.
