What would you change...

[Tarpon]

Set pieces are not the problem.....creating good chances from open play are.

Let's not bother then. After all we don't get many.





Oh wait...

 

[BensGrandad]

who are better then instead of these 3 Calderon Crofts or O Grady

You have lined them up as 4-4-2 which neither we nor any succesful clubs now play. I would replace them with Bruno Ince and CMS in our present formation.

 

[penny's harmonica]

Availability of wine gums in the concourse. I really don't like Opral fruits or whatever their called what was wrong with the wine gums?

 

[daveyboy1973]

Ffp. Then there won't be any excuses

Lots of unsuccessful teams also don't play 442

 

[tigertim68]

get rid of Jones , play Ince as a holding midfield player , play Kaz from the start , drop forster caskey and crofts

 

[El Presidente]

I would ask TB the question are you happy with the squad now having told us to wait to the end of the window to see who signs.

I would show a bit of patience and see if the new signings turn out to be decent or not. Signing them at the end of August and writing them all off in the third week of September seems a little premature.

What does 'get rid of Jones' accomplish, exactly? I'm curious.

 

[BensGrandad]

I am not writing off our signings as I think the problem is a case of SH and NJ are trying to change too much too soon and as a consequence the results are going against us.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Play LuaLua down the wing instead of making him go central. Use O'Grady as the big lump of a striker who can bother the defenders and open up options for our players elsewhere. Stick JFC on the bench and use Ince as a midfield enforcer.

 

[RexCathedra]

i would go 4-4-2 it worked for leicester and burnley

Didn't work so well for Yeovil, Doncaster or Barnsley though...

This is after all football, where failing in the same way that other teams fail, or failing in a way that is time-honored and traditional, are both generally accorded wiser moves than doing anything new, or different.

I'm surprised no one's suggested the W-M formation

That appears to radical but I would say make him coach again and bring in a new experienced No2.

Just play the players in their correct position , I think our strikers will get it , not sure about sami ,pumping balls way over our strikers heads aint working and play paddy for ****s sake !!

We could get an experienced assistant who knows what he is doing , ever since Jones has been here the football has been boring or crap or both

 

[portslade seagull]

Just have a settled pre-season for a change and get all the players in early rather than wait for the last minute bargain basement brigade whilst selling all our gems off

That is the immediate available answer

 

[Mackenzie]

Lennie Lawrence as Sami's number two, Freedman and him must be close to the sack.

Cant believe its taken 52 posts before anyone pointed out the obvious. Hyypia was shit at Leverkusen once lewandowski went, he's clearly someone that needs the crutch of a good no2. Constant rotation isnt helping as none of the players appear to have any sort of understanding with each other, couple this with the unfathomable tactics, add in asking players to play out position plus the lack of striking options (3 support strikers,no focal point) and you have the recipe for disaster.
Allow this to continue and , to quote Ian Hart from the phone-in a few years back, we could be "sleepwalking towards relegation"
