McNulty time?

As baffled as you Herb.

Do we not have more quality than most?

There's a question.

What poor form? Scoring 1 in 3 in the league with poor service? He scored twenty last year with bad service too and had quiet games. McNulty is just a weaker version of Sharp anyway. He's a decent finisher that contributes even less to the other areas of the game.

So far our major problem is that we look incapable of keeping clean sheets. We have good midfielders in Fleck, whom we bypass by knocking it long, and Duffy whom we've mitigated by narrowing the pitch.

It's alright saying none of us know, but the basis for playing Sharp is his unbelievable scoring record at this level. The argument for McNulty is "why not change something?".

Would change basically any of the other starting eleven before a player of Sharp's ability.

THIS ^^^^

Thank fuck for a bit of sanity.

At the moment, Grizzly, I'd say mobility, movement and a willingness to anticipate the knock downs and flick ons from Clarke. Billy doesn't look right. He looks slow and ponderous. I know people are blaming Clarke/tactics/approach for this but if that's the way we are going to play, it doesn't appear to suit Billy Sharp. If that's the case then McNulty at least deserves a go. We are not a one man team and maybe Billy Sharp needs to be sacrificed for the greater good. Maybe it would do him good because at the moment, he looks anything but sharp.

With you on this. Sharp does not look as though he is comfortable with this set up. McNulty is quicker, has good interchange with Duffy and Scougall ot whoever else is on the edge of the box and coulf also do the same with Chapman. Furthermore, he would be quicker on to the knock downs. Billy needs to get himself in the right frame of mind. I think he is sulking because Clarke has come in and he doesn't like the competition for No 1 striker.

Sharp,Clarke,Done,McNulty.

I bet Warnock,as an example,would get plenty of goal return out of that lot.

Narrowing the pitch means Wilder wants to go long not wide,so don`t see much point in Duffy,and especially Chapman.

Wilder favours 4-2-3-1,which he can`t play because he signed Clarke and has to play his captain as well.

Scougall shouldn`t be played out wide if at all.

We have a new manager who talks hardball,but the walking the walk bit is non existant,and very puzzling given how his stated preferences are contradicted by his re-sizing the pitch and signing a player that forces a 4-4-2 on him.

And that`s just for starters.

As far as i'm concerned, Wilder is currently playing 4231......it certainly isn't a line of 4 in midfield, or we'd have a player each side playing wide, but Done and Duffy are narrow.
The number of times in the last couple of games when either Brayford or Hussey have moved up the wing and there was no one wide in front of them, so they had to pass in field is particularly telling.
Narrowing the pitch helps with closing down the space when we're supposedly pressing and we don't need great width with using the 3 behind Clarke.
Long
Brayford Wilson O' Connell Hussy
Basham Fleck
Duffy Sharp Done
Clarke

That's how i see them set up.....am I wrong?

I don`t know. But I know the players haven`t got a clue.
