Here we are again, happy as can be, all good friends and jolly good company,,actually when I say happy and good company, I'll exclude myself who is miserable as hell.
What, already? ...... I dread to think what you'll be like at 5 o'clock!
I'm pretty happy with that line up. For me Washington has to start because his movement up front just causes the opposition so many nightmares.
Accrington defence going to have a lot to think about covering Stockley dominance in the air whilst also stopping Washington constantly timing runs in behind them.
When I expected 4-3-3 again I said 1-0 loss on the predictions thread. However seeing we're going 3-5-2 it allows JFC and Gilbey to support the attack more.
I think I can see us scoring a couple. 2-1 to Haddocks.
Surprised Adkins has changed formation. May be a way of fitting Washington back into the team.
It's also the first time he has had 2 strikers and 3 center backs fit to start. Remember he didn't have Millar and Gunter over the international break and come the Doncaster game there wasn't really any other tream/system he could have picked.

Change of formation, change of lineup, assume Nige is matching up to Accers, and has been to watch lately, with Purrington and Mathews on bench, can switch to 4-4-2 if needed. Be interesting to hear what Nige has to say on VP, anyway off we go with VP live, and Leaburn live with Curbs, great day ahead with the memories again, and let's hope for 3 points as an icing on the cake, nothing else will do really.

Slightly surprised not to see Schwartz on the bench seeing as this is a must win. Would have thought both Chuks and Ronnie would be in there just in case in this formation. Looks like Adkins has players on the bench for just in case we have to change the shape though, which is understandable. Need 3 points today
As I have already mentioned, most of my info for the matchday thread comes from CAFC and opposition tweets, so I will have to rely on others to keep us informed

Exactly sam3110 ??does he really know what he’s doing. Even going 352 where’s the creativity in a midfield of Gunter pratley jf-c gilbey and Mattsen and why isn’t SHINNIE playing,far and away our most creative player, did he get caught in Adkins bed?

Really highlights the imbalance of the squad where there isn't a like for like for about 8 of the starters despite having 7 subs.

Innis, Pearce (C), Famewo;
Gunter, F.Caskey, Pratley, Gilbey, Maatsen;
Washington, Stockley
Substitutes: Maynard-Brewer, Matthews, Purrington, Morgan, Shinnie, Millar, Aneke

Yep, support for Stockley and 5 accross the middle. Is that to match up with Accro, perhaps .... ?
In that case:
Amos
Innis, Pearce, Famewo
Gunter, Pratley, JFC, Maatsen
Gilbey
Stockley, Washington

Plan A - 3-5-2
Plan B 5-3-2
Plan C 4-3-3
No problem with that.
Half expected a reference to jumpers for goalposts.
😂
Prof Positive going for it again.
And very tough on Purrington who has been our best player for the last two matches.
Why not at least try to win ?
I'll be in the garden. Wake me up when we've drawn.
