Two expressions I have seen a lot on different threads.
So far, apparently, we have used 27 players this season.
We have played variations of 3-5-2 and 4-4-2.
Grant and Saunders have played multiple positions in those few games.
We had two games with a back there of Kilgour/Taylor/Harries and conceded zero goals. Harries injured so we switch to a back four, and concede.
Back to guess the team every week and the formation!
Injuries, given we were negligent last pre season.
Trevor Clarke
Leon Clarke
Sam Nicholson
Alex Rodman
Apparently we need Pitman to get injured so he can get fit!
How do they gel, if such a thing is really needed? JB does not seem to help in this with inconsistent tactics and formation.
The Squad
Keeper - yes an improvement with Balshaw coming in for JvS
Right Backs/RWB - must be worse here as not sure we have any.
LB/LWB - gone from five to two. Brown looked ok when coming on. Anderton showing that Harries is a better footballer.
Central Defenders. Taylor looking good but young and has a mistake in him, plus not our player. Hughes any better than Ehmer or Baldwin? Remember both those at a higher standard this season.
Centre Mid - Finlay an upgrade on Upson. Evans looking promising but better than Westbrook? Coutts and Whelan still to see over a few games, not a good start for Coutts.
Fowards - Will Clarke and Pitman be 100% fit and available for the season?
Anderson/Spence/Saunders/Collins showing something, could they have provided for Ayunga or Hanlon? We will never know.
At times I think there are some players on the pitch as individuals but as a team not seeing it.
