Title: 4-5-1 for Town? Post by: fatbury on Monday, October 3, 2005, 10:40:16 Been having a good think about tactics and perhaps a 4-5-1 might be better for us.
With Rory up front alone and Roberts and Shakes or Curo out wide ? Then we can have 3 central midfielders and keep possession more?? Plus give better cover to the centre backs. I feel we need a new central mid with experience but the side would perhaps look like this?? Evans (when fit again!) Jenkins O'Hanlon Ifil Nicholas Shakes Migz (when fit) New Midfielder Pook Roberts Fallon What do u think? :| Title: 4-5-1 for Town? Post by: Kinky Tom on Monday, October 3, 2005, 10:41:28 An emphatic no from me!
We need to win games, not hope we can sneak draws. Title: 4-5-1 for Town? Post by: janaage on Monday, October 3, 2005, 10:41:53 Bit harsh dropping the young keeper so quickly, I know he fucked up at the weekedn but he's played well. I'd say he's a better option than Evans at the moment.
Not sure about the one up front, especially at home, we'd be like a toothless tiger, who's lost his voice. Title: 4-5-1 for Town? Post by: le god cuervo on Monday, October 3, 2005, 10:50:50 4-5-1, wank, wank, wank...
4-5-1, wank, wank, wank... would be a waste if we only played 1 up front considering most of our squad are attacking players. like KT said, we need to win games, not try & sneak 1-0 wins on the counter attack. look what happened at walsall & tranmere. our current defence is always prone to making mistakes whatever the formation, so we might as well go out with the attitute that no matter how many they score, we can always get 1 more. its just a shame none of our strikers are scoring at the moment (apart from rory). i would like to see us play 4-3-3 with roberts, fallon & shakes all up front & not dropping wide. Title: 4-5-1 for Town? Post by: McLovin on Monday, October 3, 2005, 10:51:42 I feel a diamond is necessary. A no-nonsense type in front of the defence, and Roberts behind the two up top. The wide men can squeeze centrally when we're under the cosh, with the option of the good old fullback-winger link ups on the attack.
Title: 4-5-1 for Town? Post by: Spud on Monday, October 3, 2005, 11:53:33 How are we going to play a 4-5-1 system when we havent got 5 decent midfielders in the squad?.
Title: 4-5-1 for Town? Post by: DiV on Monday, October 3, 2005, 12:00:57 we played 4-5-1 and got 0 points and scored 0 goals, clearly a winning formation
As I keep saying Fallon & Roberts up top. Title: 4-5-1 for Town? Post by: fatbury on Monday, October 3, 2005, 12:02:44 It wasnt played in the correct way tho DV ... Shakes and Roberts would in theory be wingers as much as midfielders ... almost a 4-3-3
Title: 4-5-1 for Town? Post by: walrus on Monday, October 3, 2005, 12:04:44 Fuck off Fatbury! 4-5-1 means 5 defensive minded midfielders, and one poor isolated striker. If we could manage a 4-5-1 ala Chelsea which is actually vaguely attacking it might work, but we can't, so we shouldn't, and better fucking won't!
Title: 4-5-1 for Town? Post by: fatbury on Monday, October 3, 2005, 12:07:09 I can see ive been shot down on this one!! :shock:
Title: 4-5-1 for Town? Post by: cannabiz on Monday, October 3, 2005, 12:08:33 Games away to the likes of Swansea and other high flying teams then it may be an option.
It pisses me off enough about paying £23 but paying it to watch us going for a 0-0 at home with no other attacking option but a hoof to rory is not an option! Title: 4-5-1 for Town? Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, October 3, 2005, 12:09:53 King tried this....its what you do when Plan A doesn't work....trouble is with our sack of shit you could try anything you liked to no avail.
I've written this season off....I'll try very hard not to harp on the football stuff....and stick to the bollox. Title: 4-5-1 for Town? Post by: fatbury on Monday, October 3, 2005, 12:10:34 who said anything about hoofs??
Its also an attacking 4-5-1 in the Chelsea style that i was suggesting! Title: 4-5-1 for Town?

Shakes and Roberts would in theory be wingers as much as midfielders ... almost a 4-3-3 Iit wasnt played in the correct way because we dont have a division two Makelele, Duff and Robben No midfielder sat and won the ball, the wingers didnt push up enough at all ever Title: Re: 4-5-1 for Town?

I've written this season off....I'll try very hard not to harp on the football stuff....and stick to the bollox. You worry me when you say stuff like that, as you're invariably right. The comments you made on Cureton in the bosman signings thread have seemingly shown up to be semi-true at the very least. I can't understand the extreme pessimism at the moment amongst certain quarters, currently only briefly quelled by a change in manager. We do have a better squad of players than a lot of teams in the division, on paper at least. I had a similar idea admittedly to Fatbury re.: 4-5-1, but came to the conclusion that at this level any formation without 2 strikers up front becomes defensive, as there simply isn't the quality for a patient build-up via the midfield before entering the box. Whilst Swindon don't play route 1, we don't play neat short passing either. Our personnel may suit a 4-5-1, but our league doesn't. Title: 4-5-1 for Town?

And theres no chance i would even think of playin Cureton if i was manager. And to think we have him on a two year contract!!!! SHIIIIT Oh well he might be good for us in league two next season........ok thats me bein negative...sorry |
