Team Vs Orient

[Bodins left foot]

Did I see a different game but we played 4231 towards the end of the first half today. After half time we even started 4132 then changed back to 442 when O'Brien came on.

Against Orient i think 4231 is worth ago and showed flashes of potential today.

Or a variation with with Ferry in the middle, but sticking with Pericard on the bench.

He did fuck all. Though to be fair to him he didn't really get the ball. When you've got an out and out winger like O'Brien that has pace you really need to give him something to work with or he will always be fucking useless.

Not a lot really. Fell over a couple of times

Dossevi - full of running but came too deep at times. Looked promising. I thought he looked up to the physical challenge of league 1 so was a bit confused by Wilson's interview.

I thought Dossevi went too deep at times, but he looked pretty decent when he did - there was one excellent run he made. Maybe it's worth giving him the freedom to drop deep and roam about a bit, looks like he might be capable of doing a decent job of it.

You're right, we did play 4-2-3-1 for a while today, which is why people are moaning about JPM playing inside and Dossevi coming too deep. It will work, and can get the best out of JPM but Ferry needs to go in alongside Dougie and be the Alonso to JD's Mascherano

I'm not saying it can't work in the long run, but there were times when we desperately needed an outlet on the right today and tehre was nobody there.

For me, we definatley need some different personel from today.

Caddis Morrison Cuthbert Lecs
JPM Ferry Douglas O'Brien
Austin Dossevi

That makes no sense, Lecs was good today, we need him to settle into being a regular centre back so you lob him into leftback.......errr just abit daft.

The more I think of it, Wilson should go full strength Tuesday night and that means Pericard on the bench and Dovessi up front. MK in the cup last season was the kick start to the campaign and maybe the Orient game can do the same this season.

Yeh ok, fair enough, then play Kennedy at LB

I don't think Kennedy is upto it if I'm honest, like I said go full strength with the aim being to blow Orient off the park and get our season going.

I don't think Dossevi is an out and out striker - his scoring record suggests as much.

He didn't seem to be playing in one position.

His backheel shortly before halftime to Manks from the touchline opposite the DR was sublime.

DW has to get the players to gel - but they do need to grind out results along the way - and Brighton did that today

Didnt get decent service from Rose-I counted three times when Rose should have played the ball inside the full back but he was far too hesitant.You have to make the defender turn to face his own goal.In fact Rose's all round delivery was very poor,on todays showing he aint no Sheehan.

Pericard - big lump with a few good flick ons to Austin.

I'm sure there is a player in Pericard waiting to get out, but he cant keep not doing it.

thats what a good striker does when hes getting no service he comes deep into our half to get involved. which is what austin and pericard should be doing more often when we aint playing as well

I disagree, at times its fine but if we win possession then we are left with only one outlet/target up top.

The midfield were at times leaving the strikers isolated and at other times pushing up too much en mass. That's where the real issue was.
