Where fellow sufferers gather to share the pain, longing and unrequited transfer requests that make being a Wanderer what it is...

We’ve started quite well. Moving the ball nicely, with Sheehan and Morley both playing some good forward passes. We seen a bit more ambitious.
With purpose almost.

The Charlton kit contrast isn't enough for my eyes...

Yeah. It feels a bit ‘this is how it should be’. Whether we can keep it going or not is another question.

No college tonight so free to keep tabs on this.
Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill!

And the key to a result is a good :kettle:

Or whether the opposition manager counters it

What a ball that was Aaron Morley. Beautifully into Schön's stride.

Think Forrester might become a Will Aimson. Good when called upon, not good enough to stop Evatt returning to Santos.

Schon doesn't half get us in bother with his passing.

Marc Iles is calling this a back four but Forrester definitely looks dead centre to me, especially when defending. In possession the wide centre backs are splitting but you’d expect that. Schon is level with Tutu (RWB)

It's creeping in with a few of them.

Giving the ball away far to easily in attack.

Forrester is a very good defender.

Johnston still looks completely off it, and this Murphy must be line for a start sooner rather than later.

This looks very much like a 5-4-1 formation leading to a 5-3-2 depending on who is floating about up top.

Certainly not seeing us as a 4 at the back, at least not defending.

I am however appreciating the shift the defenders are putting in so far. Hard working at the back.

Yeh I’d call it a 3511 for what it’s worth, which ain’t much :)
