[Ballers]

Luton's average att is 6,000, lowest of 5,794 or something but assume that we're not a great draw for them and say there is about 4,500 there.

4,500 x £10 (average inc concessions etc) = 45,000

- costs of staging game £8k?

= £37,000. Don't think it's split completely 50/50 as the FA take some.

Would prob say about £15k, we won't be on tv either I would've thought and you don't get £7 k just for showing the goals.

Reasonable draw though.

Well this was my first live Alty match of the season and therefore my first look at the 'new way' we are going.  Must say I like the balance of the side, here's what I thought.  Please don't shoot me down in flames, just opinions, mere opinions.

COBURN: How Alty could have survived that last few years without him and the odd AGM?  Couple of class saves at the end when frankly NBS should have equalized.  Only slight worry is he doesn't boss the box enough for me

LANE: Scored I know, but didn't see much else from him

McGREGOR: He looks a little lightweight to be played CB, is he a Right-back really?  Not convinced and certainly not a captain.

YOUNG: What an impressive and imposing player he is.  My M.O.M. and he should be captain.

DOUGHTY: Obviously has the skill, but seems lacking in confidence.  Him and Elam gives us great purpose going forward, but Youngy had to cover a lot in defence.

DENSMORE: Skill and work-rate with quality too.  Loved him.

DANYLYK: I know the forum raves about him so I'll refrain from being too negative, but didn't see anything at all of him of note.

PEYTON: We all know what we get from Warren, 110% and all that.

ELAM: It is so good that Alty have a player who instantly gives the opposing RB sleepless nights just coz he is on the team sheet.  Quality yes but his work-rate also impressed me.

LITTLE: Genius.  Did more in 5 mins that most of the lads do in 90.   Class.

JOHNSON: He's a player who seems to have it all but lacks the confidence and aggression to make that step up to the grade as a genuine target man.  Someone should get him by the scruff and tell him to be more imposing and make his mark.

PS the Italians was great - Quattro Stagioni.  Yum!

What formation did we play on Sunday?

[Ballers]

We played about 5 different formations. Seriously.

[bigcol]

It looked 4-4-2 to me, but Ballers does have a point.

[andrewflynn]

midfielders were everywhere. and am i right in thinking densemore was in midfield, because it looked that way.

[Brian Flynn]

We played about 5 different formations. Seriously.

If my memory serves me correctly, our formations were as follows:-

We started with 4-4-2
When NBS scored we went 3-4-3
We then reverted to 4-4-2.I can't quite remember whether that was after the first or second goal,but I think that it was the second.
At one point in the second half we were definitely 4-5-1.

[fuertes]

Why have we started f**king about with the 5-4-1 in defence converting to 3-4-3 in attack? That was working brilliantly, then GH seemed to get psyched out by Hollins pre-Weymouth and now it seems we're messing around. Can't we stick with what has proved to be a really effective system?
