Injured Coke returns to Owls (From The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald)

Makes you think???? maybe recall Rooney from Burton.
Plus situation with Roberts injured again.Well Pdc know's whats best for his squad.
As for tomorrow another difficult game,yet in the light of the day I feel the Town have made a semi decent start to the season.Just might be us fickle fans were a tad ambitious
GOOD LUCK TOWN

Why do we need to recall a winger to replace a centre midfielder?
.
We have 4 there anyway in Ferry Miller Navarro and Bostock
.
Also Macca is a natural midfielder and with Ward Flint Troy and Devera natural CBs we would not be short there if he did move forward
.
Roberts is being rested to prevent long term absence - so a bit OTT to recall a player for one game when we have Raffa there plus Williams and Storey who can play out wide if required
.
As said yesterday if Williams moved back to where he has played most his career we would still have Benson Collins Rooney and Storey available up top
.
We have lots and lots of options not to panic
.
I have been calling for 4231 for a while
and with Roberts out it is a great chance to try it
.
Williams is a natural for the wide left slot - like Podoski for Arsenal and Germany
.
Rithie would be further forward and more central on the right to do eve more damage
.
Bostock could then play in the hole behind anyone of the big men - probably best Benson as they have played together before
.
Ferry then comes in as the playmaker - Pirlo or Xavi role
.
Then away probably have Navarro or Macca providing the shield - with Miller an option at home if we want more creativity and attack minded play

Sorted then, Paolo take the day off, not needed, not with the likes of Pirlo and Xavi playing. Maybe bring Puyol on if we start to struggle at the back.

Guess those who were there Tuesday have been thinking formations and tactics ever since. Or having counselling.

We will be screwed then! Puyol is out injured!!!

ward and ferry back in please! formation dosent need to change as its worked so far. dont realy see what navarro's role is as he plays to central and then ritchie is some what out of the game seen that tuesday..

Good to see whether it is one of our own players or not, the detail attention in looking after their welfare is exemplary. Well done to the back room team for getting to the root of the problem. Hopefully when Coke is sorted he will reward us with some sound performances.

Have sent a memo to Canioman, pointing out should he ever have a problem then LR has all the answers and more, LOL !!!

Should start in team on Saturday Ferry Thompson and Benson and Rooney upfront. Time to drop Williams/Collins - just not working

excellent - like that formation - especially when we're up against a 4-5-1 like Tuesday

The only post today funnier than this one is the one being quoted.

Good one CBC, have to admit I've been laying in the bath in the morning thinking about what changes PdC might make and come up with the conclusion he may make 3 or 4.

Barring injuries, Thompson definitely for Besonne, also can't see Troy keeping his place after the mare he had Tuesday, so expect Ward to return as his replacement. Personally would like to see Macca moved back into midfield and big Flinty brought back into add a bit more in height at the back. Macca has done good at the back, but think we need him in the midfield now to add a bit of steel because none of the present encumbrants are ball winners, Navarro will be lucky to keep his place, but think Miller will continue in a 4-4-1-1 line up. Ritchie, Miller or Ferry, Macca, De Vita and Bostock sitting in the hole just behind 1 from Williams, Collins or Benson.

Of course it won't be that line-up, time for a lie down and some of that councilling you mentioned.

Fodders
Thompson Flint Macca Jay
Ferry Navarro
Ritchie De Vita
Collins Williams

Old Town In football today just as 4-4-2 with two wingers can you leave exposed in central midfield, often in any system that has 4 at the back the player with most time and space is the centre half.

Paolo has realised this and hence his conversion of Macca to centre half. He will not be returning to midfield and frankly the way we played Tuesday he'd be even less use there than at the back!

Despite Tuesday it's still Troy for me. But no matter whether he plays 11 youth players, who ever puts the shirt on needs to work hard to close down when the opposition have it, make themselves available when we have it and then pass to a red shirt.

Ps Dear Wes that includes you, you're allowed to pass to a defender!
