-----------O'Donnell------------ Mellor---Everton--Paudie--Wood--- --------------AOC-------------- ---Devitt----Palmer----Cooke--- ------Vaughan--Donaldson---- That's the team i'd go for. Drop Devine, Akpan, Gibson and Scannell who are all shit, play AOC as a holding midfielder and give the rest of our creative player a license to attack Thats not 4-4-2 m8 therefore is an invaild formation.

Gut feeling tells me Devitt's going to be a Jack Payne. Not easy to accomdate, shows the odd bit of technical skill, probably a good player too but ultimately not what we need. We don’t need skilful players m8, just ones who give 100% for the shirt and can play in front of 13,500 fans. Just give effort and presence and the bantams family will love you. Trying hard is all we can realistically ask.

He’s McArdle esque with the ball at his feet. Properly shocking. You just can’t play him in midfield, even as a defensive shot house type because he’ll have to do some passing and it would just be suicide. My prediction for the game is a complete lack of width resulting in a frustrating performance where either side nicks a goal.

If Wood and Mellor are able to get up and down the flanks then we should have more attacking threat than usual providing Devitt and Palmer are also given a license.

Trying to be too clever again. Playing Akpan will probably nullify any formation anyway

Parkinson and McCall knew exactly what formation they wanted to play and recruited players to fit their preferred system. 7 games into the season and Bowyer is still experimenting.
You'd think he'd have it figured out by now. We change formations almost on a weekly basis.

I’m thinking 5-3-2.
It keeps us with a proper front two so it’s preferable to the diamond.
Akpan again though...

Ooh 352, I like it. More needless twiddly bollocks pissing about with the formation. Nice.
Cant fault the logic of not starting Cooke either. Hes not fit enough. So we'll get him fitter by not playing him.
We're losing in abject fashion today make no mistake.

Sit in front of the defence and tackle anything that moves. Pick up loose balls and play a simple pass to someone who can use it. Nothing flash. Just be committed and work hard.

We've looked shaky at the back but decent going forward.
Even game so far.

Crewe should be 5 up here. The defending has been atrocious.
