BOLTON v THE PIE MEN

[boltonboris]

4-5-1 means we should have more of the ball than in a 4-4-2. Which means we can attack more. We might not always have loads of players in the box, but as long as sparky get's up along side him, than with the ball, it'll be more like a 4-4-1-1 or even a 4-4-2

Circular logic there surely boltonboris?

Reading back, it doesn't make much sense. What I meant was with a 4-5-1, we're more likely to have the ball because we'll have more chance of getting the thing off of the opposition.

Then with the three bodies in the centre we can pop it around looking for openings, when we get the openings, Sparky can get up and support N'gog..

Got you.

[The Axman]

How about this:
Bogdan
.........
Mears
Ream
Wheater
Ricketts
.........
Ryodhino
Eagles
NRC
Petrov
.........
Klasnic
Sordell

What was wrong with 4-4-2 earlier in the season was the team playing it. maybe a light seasoning of talent will transform the side.

[the-Bowtun-Warrior]

Are you joking?

That midfield?
If you know something we don't & Coyle is planning that, please tell us and I'll stay at home wi't th'eating on.

No Muamba.
Petrov... er... in the middle?

Don't get this at all.

[The Axman]

I thought Muamba was injured.
A midfield with Ryodhino and Petrov on the wings, what's wrong with that in theory?

[boltonboris]

Just the Eagles in the middle bit....

[the-Bowtun-Warrior]

This IS against Wiggin FFS!

That set-up wouldn't do a job against Oldham Athletic never mind Wiggin.

[The Axman]

Oh well, good job I'm not Owen Coyle then. (& I think Eagles is OKish)

[the-Bowtun-Warrior]

I thought Muamba was injured.
A midfield with Ryodhino and Petrov on the wings, what's wrong with that in theory?

and your answer is Chris 'I'm fooked after 20minutes on the wing' Eagles?

[The Axman]

Yup. Along with set up your deck chairs Klasnic. Who the feck else is there?

[Armchair Wanderer]

That's harsh. For me he does good on the wing.

Assuming Ream is ok to put straight in to the XI.
Has Klasnic found out whether he can be arsed yet?
I have no idea about either Sordell or Ryo.
That formation, carrying the Klas-meister doesn't fill be with joy.

[The Axman]

To tell you the truth Armchair, that's my problem. You can perm any set into any formation, and this squad does not fill me with joy. But I, like everybody else has an opinion about various players, and mine is I'd prefer to see Ivan than David. I'm just hoping (actually, really praying) that Ryo, Ream, and Sordell are shit hot, so the team can be built around them.

[Ianmooreslovechild]

They might be but even so you still need a couple of players capable of winning the ball before your attackers can do anything.eagles does a reasonable job on the wing and tracks back a bit but would be less effective than M Davis in central midfield IMo.You cant really assume that just because its wigan we dont need some ball winners.They're not totally hopeless.

Ny the way. How's the dwarf basketball team project progressing?

[The Axman]

we keep on slipping on the ice and slicing the basketball open with our axes. we're thinking of taking up dwarf tossing.

[Ianmooreslovechild]

The oldest profession. Damn those pesky tall fellas
