3 attacking players in the starting 11 at home to Rochfale ffs. And only changes brought about through injury, or recovery from injury, compared to the Oxford game.
Have we played the same starting 11 that won back to back games since?
Been a lot of rain this morning here but the sun is currently out shining in the Beautiful South East London, what's the weather her currently like wherever you are in the Uk / World ?
Still dark in Alberta, but it's been a nice week. Winter is coming though.
So this is roughly the team I was calling for. Hopefully this is a 4-3-3 by default (not 4-1-4-1) with Lookman and Holmes running at them from either flank and Jacko and Ulvestad having the freedom to push up the pitch.
If done correctly, I think this formation and team could give us a really good balance between having numbers in midfield and an attacking threat. The big question remains how the central midfield will get ahold of the game given the individual limitations, and the tactical limitations we've seen in recent weeks.
I feel for Botaka, especially as he won't even be able to play in the Mickey Mouse cup on Tuesday as he'll be on international duty. But I have to say that I think Lookman and Holmes are, right now, the better players. That said, Botaka does deserve more than a 5-10 minute cameo at the end of a game.

Drizzle here in Baltimore, reminds me of SE London, 59 degrees at 9.15 am, all kinds of flood warnings as there's been heavy rain for two days. Watching the hurricane develop with great concern. Looking forward to three points today.
When I woke up it was raining. I showed patience. It then stopped. I was then even more patient. Then the sun came out. I am now sitting on the beach with a beer and my laptop and sportsmania. Brussel was right. Patience breeds positivity

Especially when sitting on the beach relaxing with a beer & time to enjoy the sport.
I just pray that Holmes and Lookman will be told to get forward to make a front 3 with Magennis. If that's a 4-5-1 at home to Rochdale then Slade can fuck off.
Sorry to bring the mood down, but would it kill the club to ask the announcer to wear trousers? Bit embarrassed people see our representatives in trackies.

A few other issues around the club to address before this...
Feels like Slade is still waiting for something to stick. Is it a 4-4-2 with Lookman up front or is it 4-5-1 with Holmes and Lookman as wingers? Hopefully it's a 4-5-1 into 4-3-3, but a more positive one than the national holding midfielders conference we sent out against Scunthorpe
Agreed. And I think a 4-3-3 suits Ademola very well, as I think at this stage in his career "Left forward" is his best position. I fear that if it is a 4-4-2, Lookman will be very isolated. His game is not suited to reading flick-ons from Mcgennis, and even if he drops deep, it's a big ask to be able to run at players from a central position. Plus a 4-4-2 would mean Jacko on the left again.
Does anyone have audio from the Player yet? So far I've got nothing.

Still dark here in Walnut Creek, California but forecast to be sunny and 75 (fahrenheit) today. Going through a bit of a chilly couple of days but forecast to be back up to 80 by the end of the week. Autumn is on the way though.
The soft as shite southern poofs will mince around for 60 minutes to no great effect at which point the real men from oop north will school them like their wives on a Friday night. 2-1 to The Dale.

Lol,just said to my lad that the announcer looks like a sack of shit. Good look if you can carry it off

I didn't realize you were in Walnut Creek, beautiful part of the world! I love all those towns just east of Berkeley.
Would be very surprised to see them set up in a 433. Would be pretty out of character for Slade, who seems to like packing his midfield with Brian Hughes clones.
