[QUOTE=StanleyJosh;
As has been previously mentioned, we are trying it seems to fit our best 11 players into a system that may not suit them.
McConville in particular has struggled in the CM roll. A switch with him and Pritchard is a possibility.

for me sean is a wide player and always will be. pritchard however has improved on last season by playing wider also. so who do you play there. for me you cannot accomodate both on the pitch together as you take away something from both players by playing em centrally.

Agree Josh.
Pritchard was the shock for me yesterday - hardly involved and when he was poor.

It also shows that with Sangare and Sheriff injured does Coley not rate or think any of the younger ones are ready to step up.

Why did Gillingham's assistant manager get booked, it didn't seem like they had much to moan about? I could have seen it being John or Jimmy instead!

As far as I saw and I'm aware; the only dug out issue was an official warning given to Steve Evans after 35 seconds for a volley of foul and abusive language which everybody in the ground heard

The main problem for our team shape yesterday was getting the right balance across the midfield four but also fitting the right players into those roles. I would say that we have our best goalkeeper now playing well in Baxter. The back three is sound with, from the left, Burgess...Hughes and either Nottingham or Sykes. Conneely is a successful fixture in the deep midfield role. Bearing in mind that I don’t think that Wing Back is the correct role for Sykes and with the current crop of injuries to our midfield players and yesterday having to make that early change for Butcher, I would have started or moved Sykes to/at Right Back and Nottingham at Right Centre Midfield. Pritchard and McConville are much too similar to each other to play them adjacent to each other so I would have brought on Uwakwe for Butcher and played him wide on one wing and McConville on the other but with the freedom to swap wings freely. Pritchard’s role in this arrangement would be for him to cover as much ground as possible being creative in a free roaming way whereas Nottingham could have stayed more pivotal in the central role that Butcher has been playing so well recently. Bishop and Charles paired up front is an obvious choice too. Gary Robert’s as first choice sub is versatile and experienced enough to replace all but the three at the back plus Conneely.

Couldn't hear him on iFollow but you didn't need to be an expert in lip reading to get the gist - disgusting individual!

yes it was big gob rayner. no matter how succesful him and the fat man are i would not want em within 100 miles of any club i supported. most managers at times let it rip but those two put it to another level.
