    Looks like Collins has read the BBS and took everyone’s crackpot ideas and made an even worse formation.
    I stand to be corrected at full time.

    I've had to write that line up down on paper, to work out what formation it's meant to be

    No idea what the shape is going to be here to be honest, but there’s only one obvious forward in the eleven, three centre backs, three wing backs, and three central midfielders.

    No idea. But I shouldn’t ask for change and criticise when he tries something. But O’Keeffe up front? Surely not. But where else is he playing?

    That’s a lot of goals to put on the bench in one go

    Of that starting 11, how many have any attacking intent? 3?

    Struggling to work out the formation.

    Could it possibly be 4-3-3 with Cadden and O’Keeffe as wingers? But that would mean a back 4 of Williams, McCart, MDG and Earl so not sure about that.

    When you do an April Fool after midday, the joke is on you. So I await the actual team.

    Same.
    Think it might be O'Keeffe in goal and big Liam up top with Big Sam

    Well I said neither Cole or McAtee deserve a start on recent form but I didn’t expect both to be dropped.

    I think it would’ve made more sense if he dropped them & still played Phillips off Cosgrove. Phillips been out of the side too is confusing.

    Be interesting to see who lines up where.

    I actually cant work it out either.
    An interesting mental exercise for sure:
    4231?
    Roberts
    Williams Mael McCart Earl
    Russell O'Keefe
    Kane Connell Cadden
    Cosgrove

    I have no idea what he's doing!

    It's not a gamble for me. A gamble is something with the potential to pay off. Playing Sam Cosgrove up front on his own, doesn't. He'll spend the game trying to win headers that no one is there to pick up, and conceding a load of free kicks in the process. This looks like a woefully negative line up to me. Let's hope I'm proved wrong.

    Connell in goal. Big lad to come for those crosses into our box. Makes sense to me…

    You are right re Cosgrove and his obsession with fouling the man rather than playing the ball.
    So bloody frustrating as he'd be a massive asset otherwise.
