I have been bewildered, dejected, bemused, appalled by PTs team selection and game management.
In the week someone said and rightly so “ You can only go with what you have” and it made me think.
Should we keep playing people out of position and in crazy formation or should we blood our youngsters in their right position ?
I’m starting to think one or two involved in a game would make better sense and I don’t think they could do much worse.
Go 4-4-2 ... bring in young guys if needs be ... but for heavens sake right position always.
What do you guys think?

We can’t defend even with 6 defenders on the pitch, so I’d go back to a back four and playing midfielders in midfield instead of Baldwin:
____________Day Williams_Kilgour__Ehmer_Leahy Rodman_Ogogo__McCormick_Koiki _______Ayunga___Hanlan

Maybe Walker for Rodman?

Personally I think we've looked better with a 4 since PT arrived but am not against 352 I just want to see players in their natural position. We effectively have a free hit on Tues so assuming none of the injured players are back why not give some of those who havent featured as much an opportunity. Either 4231 or 352 for me Day Williams Kilgour Ehmer Leahy Ogogo Hargreaves Rodman Barrett McCormick Hanlan
Or
Day Kilgour Ehmer Harries Williams Ogogo Barrett McCormick Tutonda Hanlan Ayunga
What do we have to lose

What would I do. I would get holloway in Hare or Rodman in front of Williams on the right side of midfield and tutando in front of leahy on the left. Agogo instead of grant all day long and McCormack instead of Westbrook in a back to basics 442 as for the front two well I'd play Hanlon and walker. This team against the posh has more energy and organisation than what tis has delivered in recent weeks and it offers us width and pace from the wings.

I can only assume you mean Tutonda, Ogogo, McCormick, Westbrooke and Hanlan. Shame - perhaps those misspelt players would do a better job!

Just get back to basics. GT was right on radio when he said about set up, play, and marking. You go opposites when defending and play to each others strengths.

We’re an average L1 team missing our best three players (Jaakola, Oz and Nicholson) so no surprise we’re struggling. Hargreaves deserves a start based on the others having plenty of chances and this week we’ve lacked energy.
On Tuesday presuming the absentees remain I’d go:
Day Williams Kilgour Ehmer Leahy Upson West Mc Hargreaves Hanlan Ayunga
Play players in their best positions. Walker deserves a chance but way to Posh isn’t the time. We’ve seemed to play our best football with a diamond.
With Reece Brown and Taylor dominating the game, and Dembele and Szmodics floating behind JCH, I fear the worst. There’s an argument to rest Hanlan and maybe a few others, and save him for Rochdale on Saturday who have let in 17 in 6 games. I’d hold Oz back for it aswell.

We have players in our squad capable of playing in their positions.

It wouldn’t be much different from the last 3 games and you just know that their manager has watched those three games. We need width and pace in the side. It’s a tough game regardless but this narrow crap with no pace is killing us.

Are any of the youth forwards any good we sent 2 youth ones out on loan to Cardiff met at the start of the season might as well have then on the bench as an option considering Welsh league are not playing

Go back to four at the back and play players in their natural positions. If we cannot defend with seven defenders on the pitch then we might as well try and attack more. I know we are missing Ox and Nicholson a lot (and also Daly) but rather than change the formation lets at least try and replace them with the bet players we have for these positions. Rodman, Hargreaves etc rather than playing more defenders.
If PT is going to persist with the five at the back, especially with the threat of Peterborough to deal with then at least play actual wing backs. We have lots of them!

I get it’s narrow but playing an old school 442 against posh would be a disaster as their threat is in the centre of the park. And we haven’t got electric wingers with pace to justify the risk.
Could play a flat three with Cam and Ogogo scurrying around Westbrooke with Mc and Rodders supporting Hanlan from wide.
There’s no real answer I guess. Suppose my only real clarity is that I don’t want to see Ehmer Right Wing Back and, I don’t want to see Baldwin or Harries in Centre Mid.
If someone offered me a loss v posh and a win v Rochdale i’d snap their hand off.

He isn’t up to League One football. Not quick enough, poor decisions and a lack of awareness. I would go 4-2-3-1 Williams - Kilgour - Ehmer - Tutonda ———Upson—ZW————- Rodman—Mccormick—-Koiki —————Hanlan————- I would then swap Hanlan for Rodman when we sign a new striker.

Bring back Garner and let him finish what he started or we'll be MK Dons Version 2.

Bring back Garner and let him finish what he started or we'll be MK Dons Version 2. Taking us down to the Conference? Ok. PT seems to be doing a good job of continuing that anyway.
