    is completely fkng stupid. Wouldn't mind if we had 3 decent strikers, we should be playing 1 up front and protecting the defence then playing a counter attack, good luck to new manager there's plenty to work with but if it's mandatory that we play 3 centre halfs and 3 strikers we are going down,

    Fair play to Laumann, three central defenders, a left footed left full back and no player on the right hand side until the front three was an interesting way to play the first half

    We played with a back four Frist half..
    Sibbick right, Helik Andersen centre, Williams left..
    Second half we went 5 across the back..
    Williams right, Sibbick Helik Andersen centre,
    Styles left..
    That is when Helik wasn't centreforward

    I don’t necessarily think playing 3 up front is stupid. Playing 3 up front who are incapable of keeping the ball for 5 seconds, supported by midfielders incapable of passing the ball to them. That’s the problem.

    It's mental, everyone knows it other than the current coach and the last manager. Unless the new manager is just as incompetent it will change.

    Laumann said he wanted to change the formation because we’d been too vulnerable down the flanks in previous games. That’s fair enough, but then becomes a bit undermined when you have Williams playing on the left, and Sibbick on the right. Neither in their preferred position. Seems an odd choice.
