Ipswich was a mustn't lose, this is a must win

 

Fucked if I know what our 'best team' is

 

Our midfield resembles the Bermuda Triangle, whoever you put in, whatever the formation, they just go missing

 

Think we do need to go two up front for this, whilst I've been relatively impressed with Madine thus far, he hasn't got a decent amount of goals in him at this level and we are in dire need of scoring on Saturday

 

Playing Madine up top alone makes sense against the best teams in the division (on paper anyway), not sure it does on Saturday

Nothing to do with systems, it's about how good the players are.

 

Ours are League 1.

 

 

100% agree with the first bit

 

as fert rest - id say they may be a bit better than that but playing without confidence

In that case why did conte change to 3 at back and then go on to win the league?

 

Surely the Chelsea players are good enough to win with 4 at the back?

im just saying on paper we have experience that obviously isn't showing on the pitch

 

There has been plenty of clubs scraping by in this league for years with poor squads

 

All those teams have players who can score goals though. Our squad isn't terrible, but we're so short of people to score - how many in our squad have scored double figures in a season at this level? Not just up front, but in midfield too. We struggled this way even last season, relied on set pieces and Wheater and Beevers. This league though, you don't win as many corners and free kicks so we're struggling in that way.

How many players do we have likely to score 5? Let alone 8?

the point I'm making is you don't necessarily need a top goal scorer to stay up in this league.

 

Madine will get 5 come may

 

If you don't have a regular goalscorer you need goals throughout the side. That is my point. We don't have enough goals at this level in the teams we are sending out.

That's brave. He didn't last time we were in this league

pretty sure that is what Owen Coyle used to insist upon with his 4-4-2 fetish and eagerness to drop Muamba / 4-5-1

 

he was talking shite
