sheded 0 Posted December 8, 2005 Nigel ! you listening ? Might be time to go for broke on Saturday ? forgive the brass neck for daring to suggest where you might be going wrong .... but you ARE a bit defensive minded , and with some deadbeats in the side , thats a pretty dangerous option ! Can I suggest my plan A against the " mighty " Crewe ?1, Drop Green ! he`s always there , letting them in so regular he must be on a laxative .. give Gallacher the job .2, You probably know the players you can rely on , in my book thats Huckerby , Ashton , Fleming , McVeigh [ when he gets his finger out ! ] those four should become your front line in a 4 - 4 -2 formation , with Hucks and Deano playing central , the aim is the big boot up to these four ... route one ! ! [ this is no time for pretty football ! ] lets have their defenders worried about goalmouth scrambles , Krist , I`ve seen Real Madrid pull this tactic more than once ! divide their defence , and the goals will come .......Fortune favours the brave Nige .... you know it makes sense .... jaysus, it can`t result in worse than what we`ve been witnessing so far !!!!

sheded 0 Posted December 8, 2005 [quote user="jas the barclay king"]Route 1 is what we play already, big punt up there before losing it!jas :)[/quote]And why do we lose it ? Because there`s little or no support up front ...That is why I go for the formation suggested ! no point in lobbing the ball over their midfield if there`s only a well marked Deano to try and collect !! There`s absolutely nothing wrong with route one , if its done properly ....... after all , whats the ultimate aim of this game ? get the ball in the net right ? poncing about tapping the ball to one another is not a luxury we can afford , and we haven`t the players to do this anyway !

still holding out for new heroes 0 Posted December 8, 2005 we also havent got the players to play route 1...wheres the target man we''d need Ashton in poor in the air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted December 8, 2005 in order to pull route 1 football off sheded u need players who are pysically strong enough to make it work.. Eg Wimbledon in their hey day... Big, slow cloggers of players who will toss an opponent 12ft in the air with agressive tackles... they might of knocked it long but they did it because they knew they''d get it back again... we dont pass the ball around now, and Worthington wont change that.. sadly we dont have Vinnie Jones, Lawrie Sanchez and John fashanu to beat the bejeezus out of the opposition thus getting us the ball backjas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sheded 0 Posted December 8, 2005 [quote user="LinkNR9"]We''ve tried Route One for most of the season and it hasn''t worked![/quote]But [ crikey this is hard work at times ! ] route one is a goer IF there`s plenty of support to receive the long ball ! .... have one striker [ target man ] waiting , no chance ! have two strikers waiting , defence split ....have three or more strikers waiting , the defence starts chasing shadows !! .....[<:o)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazzathegreat 0 Posted December 8, 2005 I know, I have an idea, why don''t we play proper football as we are playing another team who DO PLAY IT. Might be difficult as Worthy has no idea what proper football is, what passing to another team mate is, working together as a unit and moving up the pitch with the ball ON THE GROUNDBut no, we''ll continue as before, Greeno hoofs up to Deano, meanwhile our full backs will be exposed, our central defence also exposed due to midfield not turning up/not knowing what to do etc. We''ll concede early and continue to run around like the proverbial for the rest of the game. How many more games can we stand? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
