I think the player most town fans were excited about that was brought in during the transfer window was Campbell but difficult to choose between him and Payne to start. Difficult choice also between Sadler and Waterfall to play alongside the inexperienced Williams.

You are joking. Put Waterfall in the side and we will lose.

I'd have Sadler rather than Waterfall and Campbell ahead of Payne. Still like the idea of 5-3-2 with Beckles, Sadler and Williams as the 3 CB.

I'd be going for: Mitchell
Williams / Waterfall / Bolton
Haynes Sears Grant / Norburn
Whalley Okenabirhie
Campbell
Subs: Arnold, Sadler, Goldbourne, Laurent, Gilliead, Payne, Rowlands
(But there's a reason I'm not a football manager!)

If we want Whalley out wide and playing as an out and out winger shouldn't we be looking to be playing 4-4-2? I know it doesn't get too much of a mention these days and I guess is going out of fashion but how else? I mean if we are going for 5 across the back or the middle it also means that some forward we would like to see given an opportunity are forced out wide or? No idea but do you deploy five at the back looking to use the right and left back to push on and have a winger in place? The more I see suggested formations the more I worry that we don't have the players in place who can play what some would like to see. Whalley is currently are main attacking threat and I think we would be best seeing him out wide. So I reckon 4-4-2. Norburn has done alright last couple of outings. Docherty looks as though he's out or? So Grant with Norborn in the middle. Whalley out wide. Someone else given the chance to play opposite Whalley. Bolton Ro-Williams Sadler Sears Whalley Grant Norburn A.nother Okenbihrie Campbell ...I'd defo go for Campbell as he seems to have a fair bit more pace than Payne. An I'd actually have Docherty ahead of Grant is he is fit and good to go... Grant and Waterfall to steady the ship once we're 2-0 up and looking to see the game out...

Ricketts hasn't played 4-4-2 regularly since he's been with us or with Wrexham (not sure about the Wolves kids), so I can't see that happening. Given the recent trend of 5 at the back (which in fairness I think works) I can only really see Whalley either as part of an fluid front three, or as a roaming playmaker ahead of two anchormen (grant and norburn id imagine) that will then give him the freedom to make the runs and play balls that will stretch opposition. If you DID play 4-4-2 I'd imagine A.Nother's role on that left wing would have to go to Gilliead simply because he's our only option that's semi-comfortable out there (as much as he likes to drift inside rather than play out on the wings) after Arthur left us and Eisa went on loan to Colchester.

Very exciting player when he is on form and always likely to score or win us a penalty but have to agree that his corners aren't the best. We could do with a Paul Maguire who could lay it on a sixpence at the near post for Waterfall to flick in the middle for one of the strikers to knock in. Sounds easy and looked easy when Maguire was doing it but nobody has done it since.

Well we need some spark that's for sure. The last home game where we saw Okenbihrie and Campbell start together up top didn't go at all well. They looked miles apart, each looking to drift wide, getting nothing going between themselves and for the most part because we were unable to get the ball to them. Hopefully Whalley getting 90 minutes can help with that...

Against Luton our 2 young strikers came up against 2 very experienced centre backs who bullied them (fairly may I add) into submission by half time. This happens time and time again at this level, and not just for us, so it might be wise for Payne to start as he is more physical and have one of the younger players playing off him, and it gives some variation to the play.

We have to play with wingers.
Get back to basics Ricketts, 4-5-1, Whalley and Campbell on the wings and watch us go up that table.

Rather fearful of today's game. As this thread shows you could make a case for all sorts of different formations and players today which shows how confused our season has become. We're in February and still have no clue what our best formation is.
Burton's away form is pretty poor, although a bit better in recent weeks, so if we are to get out of the mess we are in today's the day to get some points. But just as easily today could be a bad defeat and can see the crowd turning in on the manager and chairman as happened at the end of Askey's time in charge. Not looking forward to the match at all

Think we should drop our top scorer in a must win game.
Views? 🤔
