*~*~* Bolton v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[Whitburnmakem]

Off his titts man played really well 3421 then changes it

 

[Bear]

Shame Gooch is still getting starts like

 

[sofatester]

can't say I'm keen on 4 at the back like. maybe it'll work with Batth

Our new signings Roberts and Clarke suggest a back 4 for the rest of the season tbh

 

[3.142]

451 when we haven't got the ball

I'd expect that when they have the ball defensively we'll be pressing then with 3-4 players rather than sitting back.

 

[gastap]

flat back 4 doesnt work if thats what hes doing

 

[The Situation]

Very worried about Afolayan up against Winchester.

He's their biggest danger by a significant distance.

 

[Arfa Sleep]

Joel Dixon on bench

Is he the Stanley lad?

 

[Hot Since 82]

Gooch ffs

Johnson absolutely loves him for some reason

 

[mad maxim]

I have a sneaking feeling there's going to be a fair bit of gooch abuse in today's thread, winger is not his strongest position.
Be interesting to see how we perform with a back four when Batth's in there, hopefully he makes all the difference.

 

[rapscallion]

Uh oh, Doyle never been playable in a two..

 

[Ilios]

Last chance saloon for Gooch with that bench waiting in the wings.

Gooch will always get games. He certainly won't start every game now, but he's so versatile that he's am excellent sub.

 

[Walmo]

Be lying if I said I wasn’t worried about a back four.

Winchester better than Gooch up against him

Maybe they will play even better in the current formation, can't always play the same way.

Didn't say he wouldn't, but he will be dropping down the starting list

 

[The Situation]

Winchester better than Gooch up against him

Very true.

Definitely need to get to grips with him one way or another mind as he is a real threat.

What is his strongest position then?

Rather them than Gooch

 

[The Rolls Royce]

Santos was an absolute beast last time we played them. Inspired me to sign him on football manager, took Exeter all the way to the Premier League with him in my back 4.

We’ve looked better recently with 3 at the back so an interesting move to switch to a 4.
