[Argentinemanager]

Me for 1 is happy with that line up, pace out wide, no dwarf at full back and a kick up the arse for fleck, expect us to win now

 

[BirleyBlade!]

4-3-3. Berge/Norwood holding, McGoldrick attacking?

 

[Cheesebored]

Why is Bogle not starting? 100% more effective than Backwards Baldock.

If you'd not sold your ticket you could've shouted Slav over and asked him.

 

[acko17]

Has anything been announced about Mousset's injury?

Hamstring 4- 6 weeks

 

[Addison]

I'm guessing Slavs preferred formation of 4-2-3-1

Ramsdale

Baldock Basham Egan Robinson

Berge Norwood

Burke Mcg Brewster

Sharp

Egan on the left of the 2 in the role he plays for ROI and Robinson in his natural position. Alternatively 4-3-3 with Mcg on the left of the 3 in midfield but thats looks more unbalanced than 2 right footed midfield players sitting deep with Mcg in a 10 role.

 

[S64 Blade]

I expected McBurnie to start with it being Swansea

Why?

 

[Hagansbootlaces]

Looks like a back 4, question is McGoldrick/Brewster role, 4-2-1-3 ? Presumably it allows McG to drop deep to pick up the ball, find space etc

 

[coolasanidiot]

Robinson left back ?

Robinson played many times at left back for Forest- and they thought he was good there!!

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

Really need to be playing Brewster as a striker as that’s what we paid £20 mill for

If mcburnie is fit and not starting then that’s a bit strange

Not a scooby what the formation is like surely RND should be playing LWB ?

 

[Scarebus]

Slav unveiling the formation in the pre match brief

 

[petcharlie]

4-6 weeks according to Sky.

Just a short a short lay off then compared to the usual lay off.

 

[coolasanidiot]

I expected McBurnie to start with it being Swansea

Thank God he isnt. Did you watch last season?

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

Think Burke played LWB in Spain before

 

[KeyffSmyff]

No idea tonight head says draw, heart says Brewster and McBurnie to score.

 

[secretchief]

Objectively odd but at least it's a roll of the dice

 

[Rochdaleblade]

Just a short a short lay off then compared to the usual lay off.

Sadly he will be 2 stone overweight when he comes back and will need a full preseason.

 

[BirleyBlade!]

If you'd not sold your ticket you could've shouted Slav over and asked him.

My 100 points gonna look lovely from my seat in boozer.

Jesus christ... Has he ever seen us play... That line up is so ridiculous it might just work

 

[McGoaldrick]

4231 or maybe 442 again with didzy and burke on the wings

 

[Cheesebored]

My 100 points gonna look lovely from my seat in boozer.

With the immaturity of your posts I'm a tad surprised you're old enough to get in.

 

[Medlock]

Where's the midfield?

 

[Argentinemanager]

To me it appears wing backs has been dispatched to play a solid 4 at the back and use forwards out wide , really need didsy to be pushing into the box to assist billy

 

[JPSharpy93]

Not feeling confident, hope I’m proved wrong

 

[bladesmanluke]

If we can't create chances tonight, when can we?

 

[Wybourn Blade]

My 100 points gonna look lovely from my seat in boozer.

Yea, as you can tell, no one likes your shitty immature posts. Now off you fuck

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

2-0 seems a popular score in the leagues this weekend.

 

[robbiez666]

This is full metal Steve McLaren.

My guess

-----------------Rammers
--Baldock----Basham---Egan---Robinson
-------------Berge----Norwood---
------------------McGoldrick
----Burke--------Sharp------Brewster

Mad if you ask. Why is he trying so hard not to play a back 5?!

 

[Cheesebored]

Where's the midfield?

Mcgoldrick to drop in with Berge and Norwood. Personally I'm pleased he's seen through Fleck's lack of contribution. It's going to go one of two ways this. Let's hope it's a roaring success.

No immature posts until you two cunts pipe up.

Quite embarrassing, I live rent free in your head. Posted about the formation, you sad fucks.

 

[Nade]

Ballsy. I like it.
