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.
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?
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.
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.
.....or 451 Roberts Williams Mael McCart Earl O'Keefe Russell Luca Kane Cadden Cosgrove By jove I think Ive hit the jackpot!!
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.
