Although I looked back through his teams match history and he does seem to change formations for different opponents. I think tomo he will want a solid foundation so You are looking at Kelly / O'Donnell, Gallagher, O'Hara, Carroll. After that Id prob have Campbell & Maguire holding with Cole, Polworth & Hastie in behind Watt up front. Not ideal as the Cole, Poly, Hastie trio is pretty poor but its all we have. Is O'Donnell not out of contract 1st of January? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkyred Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 I would certainly have OHara at the back alongside Gallagher. Has Hastie really showed enough to deserve another start ? Not for me but new manager new ideas so I guess it’s possible. Donnelly back will make a difference because I’m still not convinced that McGuire is the answer and hopefully Carroll gets backup to speed as quickly as possible. He likes a 4-4-2 but I agree it’s difficult with the players we have at the moment, we’ve now lost another wide player in Lang which lowers the options even further.

MelvinBragg Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 I'd pay good money to see the rage on here if we set up Chapman Grimshaw Mugabi Lamie McGinlay Crawford O'Hara Polworth Hastie White Seedorf I would however not pay good money to watch that team play...

Kelly O'Donnell dec lamie Ohara campbell grimmy carrol Watt cole White Need t b stronger on our left hand side n for that reason ive grimmy in there..i dont care wot he does going forward we need t look after lamie or anyone else in that position With watt looking as one of the few that gives a fuck id have him in behind in a free n°10 roll,hes not scared t muck in in midfield either I think this could b ugly today so need legs and fight,sadly lacking with polworth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we have had a guy on the bench for most of the season who has over 100 goals to his name and not been given many starts here. Same guy has been top scorer and 3 different clubs for 6 seasons. He also scored 2 goals for us but they were disallowed , even Robbo said he will come good for us and had been unlucky. No reason he cant do it here if given the opportunity imo. So if I was the new manager and looking over the players he definitely would be in my starting line up because "If you keep on doing the same thing expecting different results ,that is the definition of insanity. So I would expect some changes in todays lineup to previous weeks because we havent won a game in the last 10 games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would as above swap Watt with Cole but leave Crawford in over Maguire. As for Spuds team. I saw Lamie in the line up and switched off.

Al B Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 How can anyone criticize todays lineup (whatever it may end up being), when the new manager doesn't know what any of them are like? Any chance he could get a look at them playing so he can decide for himself who needs shipped out? I guarantee he's never even heard of Ricki Lamie or Jordan White, let alone know what their ability is. Today is a complete write-off...we may need to accept a loss so he knows who needs binned. We should be extremely worried if he's just willing to take someones word for it. It seems bizarre to me that people are always convinced Robbo's issues were that he'd signed bad players. It could be equally as likely that what he was strugging with, was players who were great in training but found it difficult to transfer that into a full match. It's not necessarily about shipping players out, because it's not just as simple as players being good or bad. A manager who can look at a player who is performing well at training but poorly in matches, and find a way to help him transfer it across...is infinitely more valuable than a manager that just starts looking for better players. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinjy Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 I hope he has watched our last four games on tape. That's six hours work that should give him a good idea of what has been happening plus a mornings training. I hope to see a big reaction from our under performers. Wasn't going to buy the stream but will now to see if there is any immediate difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but what if the performance he sees from a player in those videos, doesn't tie together with what he saw from the player in yesterdays training session, and he believes that he can give the tools to be able to start bringing that level of performance from the training ground into a match? In short allowing the new coach to, y'know....coach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be extremely worried if he's just willing to take someones word for it. I know what your saying, however dont you think he’ll have watched recordings of our last half a dozen games over the last 24/36 hrs ? Not to mention any prep he did for the interview process. I think he’ll have a fair idea with the exception of maybe some of the fringe player who haven’t played much recently. You’ve also got to imagine Las will have a bigger input today than maybe in the weeks going forward. Suspect Ohara will come back in and Kelly will make his debut, don’t expect many other changes to be honest, although i hope he brings McGuire into the middle of the park, think he gives us a bit more strength in there which is lacking without Donnelly.
