[Ian.]

No!

It was the conference league loss that made me feel like we were doomed in my lifetime.

3 5 2 FFS.
Will people never learn.

Rather  4-4-2 than 3-5-2. That formation sucks

[Mellin]

I just bring it up for the reaction these days 👀

[cdbearsfan]

I have spies on every thread waiting to alert me if anyone mentions the accursed formation.

[Mellin]

I'll start pebbledashing 352 into seperate threads to see how sharp they are.

[PeterWithesShin]

A proper 532 is what we need.

[cdbearsfan]

Don't make me set the Four(attheback)dians of the Galaxy on you. (You'll probably be safe in The Cycling Thread and Word Association).

I will get pilloried for this, but I have a soft spot for 3-5-2 with flying wing backs

Nostalgia as it’s what Sir Brian played when I first really started following us in 95/96 (I was 9)

We had the players to play it then though, especially as McGrath was a sweeper in that 3 man defence which no one will ever see again or close to it I’m sure.

Should we try getting away with 5-4-3?

Wingbacks enslaved in a pebble-dash grave, it's the English disease.

3-5-2 belongs to a world that's gone.

So did Delap throws and set piece reliance.

The thing is, last night was pretty similar to all of the games we’ve straggled to win. We miss a couple of early chances, the pace of the game slows to a walk and before you know it there’s a few minutes left of game we’re losing or drawing when we should be winning.  We don’t currently have a goal scorer in the team.  It’s actually like we have an inured midfield and an injured attack.  He simply cannot keep playing Watkins anymore.  Bring him on as a sub.  But don’t start him.

It's the inability to keep.clean sheets that has killed us as well.  We didn't play well against Brighton, but kept a clean sheet and ended up nicking a goal at the end.  When you're struggling for form, keeping a cleaning sheet is massive, but we have let sloppy goals in on a regular basis for a number of seasons now. 

When we've gone 1-0 in ganes recently we look done and the pressure gets too much.
