Something isn’t right has Burey got an attitude?

Mmmmmm not quite so sure , but I thought what i see of him he was doing ok , until he got bizzarly substituted at half time.
Never to be seen again...

 

[QuietYeller]

No Goodwin starting n again only on the bench, how long before he’s fit to start?

I think big guys always take longer to get sharpness back. We looked better on Sat when he came on as we changed our shape but I thought he personally was way off it still. So better he comes on later in the game rather than start.

 

[Chippy]

It’s going to be an interesting formation, Brannagan a one man natural central midfield?

I think we are owed an explanation of the Burey situation. Is he injured? If not then amazed he’s not even on the bench

 

[WarwickOx]

Right... lets try a 0-0-10 formation and see how we get on.
10-9 to the yellows

Or possibly 3-0

 

[billyturleyscurlywurly]

That team is utter utter madness.

I’ve been firmly sticking up for Des the last few weeks in response to people questioning him but even I’m scratching my head at that tonight.

Hoping we win but a feeling this is gonna go horribly wrong.

 

[Joey]

My best guess is Rodrigues is dropping into a 2 man midfield with Cam. Leigh left wing, Murphy right and Bodin as a 10. Whatever it is it looks like it's got the potential to be overrun, Rodrigues works hard but I don't know if tracking runners is going to be a strong point and it certainly isn't for Brannagan. We'll see.

 

[yellowbow]

Pah! Des Doesn’t Do Formations. This is total football baby!

 

[bazzer9461]

This has been hit and miss for me, but def got it to work a couple of times
I’ve no idea whether it’s due to what Telly I use or if a copyright is causing it not work.
I now just watch it on the internet on my smart tv.
Maybe someone more savvy can help you out! Good luck

My wife uses her Samsung and we transfer it to our smart tv and just hope no one rings us but I can’t use my iPhone for the same operation.

 

[Chippy]

Maybe this is the Des formation and style he’s been wanting to play since he came in? He’s finally thought I’m just gonna do it and go for it!

If not then WTF?

 

[Gregortheox]

Something isn’t right has Burey got an attitude?

I want a little attitude to be honest. Performances have been lame. We need to start performing with grit and gusto.

 

[Barbadosyellow]

It will be interesting to see how that formation works. At least we know that Des isn't averse to making early changes if required. Looks like a bit of a gamble to me but what do I know.

We'll see.

Think it’s a head scratcher for us all but it’s pretty concerning to have gone and spent a few quid on a winger and a striker (noting Harris can play wide) and yet it looks likely that a full back finds himself on the wing… all while another winger, a very promising one, plunges in to obscurity…

Never like to say the manager’s lost the plot with his selection until full time because it may yet be genius but it’s certainly a bold selection.

 

[bazzer9461]

Should be fit for Blackpool away Baz!

A bit different to what Buckingham said that he would be back at the end of the month, that’s January not flaming February.
I was confident of a win tonight now I’m not to sure.
I
Was going but alas Mrs Bazzer has had to go to the hospital so I’m sat here not to bothered that I’m missing tonight.

 

[Swaby39]

Arguably our best outlet when he’s played. Breezes past fullbacks which is something we need in a side that can’t pass it’s way to goal. Strange unless it’s enforced.

 

[Yellow2K22]

Bizarre line up, but hope to be proved wrong. Des will be on the receiving end of some pelters if this goes wrong, fingers crossed it doesn’t!

Heart says 3-1 head says 2-2.

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

The only possible explanation for Burey not being in the squad is he’s injured or there’s been a falling out, because on performances alone he’s been better than Dale, so far.

Got to say this looks like more muddled thinking from Des, a strange formation with players in positions which aren’t their best - but if it gets a win, fair play to him. If we don’t beat this lot though then I’m afraid the blame is squarely at his door…

 

[Yellow There!]

Fellas gone off the boil

 

[Upthecowboys]

Two creative players behind Harris, with a very solid left side. Quite a bit of pressure on Cam Bran but I like the look of it..

I think it’s quite a brave selection.

 

[bazzer9461]

I only said that because I’m sure I read that when we were looking at him in last summers transfer window

 

[Oxfordpete]

I am not sure about both Bodin and Rodders starting
