Even Evatt wont have Baxter playing it short to Santos and Sheehan today. I can see Williams coming in for the ineffective Schon......Starting both Sheehan and Matete in a three man midfield alongside Thomason. Charles and Mcatee starting and Collins dropping down to the bench. Also Johnston wants reinstating to the left with Toal moving to the right 3-1 Charles 2 Mcatee 21,406 I can't see it mate. I think they're so ingrained in this formation that it would be more risky to make wholesale changes than to just stick with it and pick up a win doing what we know. I'm not saying that's the right approach - but I just can't see IE doing anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and me sister as Juves had to go in seperate turnstiles to me dad which meant we couldnt sit together in the Burnden Stand as the bricks bottles coins et al went flying back and forth . Over 10 k on which meant opening another section of terracing for the away fans. At 16 I was loving the drama . Me younger sister spent the whole time perplexed as to why people kept throwing bananas on the pitch. Had the game on Roadrunner vhs, now sold after converting to DVD. The football was atrocious with Steve Elliott up front , Andy May being the only highlight and that after years of hssssssss anytime the ball went near the spikes on the fences , the crowd missed it when it finally happened. Bloody hell I forgot about the ssssssssss. I went to games at other grounds that had the spikes around the pitch and I never heard any other fans doing that. The crowd v Burnley was more than double most games, equivalent today would be about 40k turning up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evatt leaving things the same for me is suicide, first pass to Santos or Sheehan from Baxter will have the boos ringing out. We cannot win playing like we did this time last year can people not see that we have teams playing the high press We played these last season Baxter would knock it to Sheehan who would turn and send it wide and start our attacks. He does that today a man will be at his ankles trying to force the error. Please tell me you can see that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a deeply emotional commitment at this point which can not be challenged by facts or logic. Changing tactics would hurt who he believes himself to be. Sadly he's managing his ego, not the club.

deeane Koontz Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Nice direct strike force there. Start high tempo. Feed them with the simple quick passes they like. We'll do em. Play in our shells. Slowpaced with 10000 pointless sideways passes to nowhere. It could all turn a bit mingin 6-1 Bolton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Scrapped the new formation, changed captain, last season’s strike force (and sacked a coach) - not much he’s got left in his locker if it doesn’t start going right soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM Trotter Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Looking forward to seeing if the captaincy change makes a difference. Hopefully reduced responsibility will let Santos get back to himself, confidence wise. 3 in the middle should help us too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshape Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 I reckon Thomason will go up another level and I'm his biggest fan. Feel like he'll relish wearing the armband. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will obviously retract this when he gets sent off today 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 It’s going 1 of 2 ways this. Early goal for us and I think / hope it unleashes all the stress and negativity and there’s a proper backlash - 4:0 whites. Go 1-0 down, or even a nervy 0-0 at half time and I don’t think it ends well as the nerves just get bigger and bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
