They were pasted by Hereford today but it’s looking as if it’ll be a draw on Tuesday?

Apologies, I monkeyed up my first attempt at this post.
Obviously I’m hoping for a convincing win.
However, I think it’ll be a draw.
Probably 1-1Home 1/3
Draw 3/1
Away 15/2
Worth a punt at those odds. Your insurance bets appear to be serving you well Rene.

Given Butler is not going to change formation then my (probably forlorn) hope for Farsley and beyond is to at least play the players with the most chance of making it work.
For me that means Kelly having a run at left wing back. Love Denton as a full back but he struggles as soon as he crosses the halfway line. Barrows has managed to adapt and whilst his delivery is hit and miss he does attack with pace and purpose and brings defenders out from the middle to cover his runs. The brief bits we have seen of Kelly suggest he could do the same from the left which would give us more balance and more of a threat when attacking. Also seems able to whip in a decent cross occasionally, something Denton has not really managed all season.
Second thing is Beestin needs to pair up with Roberts in midfield. They are the only 2 consistently creative players we have so let’s have Beestin where he can influence the game more.
Put Carlton or Fish up front with Whitehall and give them a proper run to get sharp and develop a partnership.
We are too easy to play against with Butler’s preferred starting 11. We have plenty of the ball in all the wrong places and don’t offer enough threat to opposition where it matters. Much as teams did with Dean’s one dimensional formation last season the rest of the league has worked out the formula. Defend in numbers, turn midfield into a scrap and wait for us to give the ball away in dangerous areas.
Tamworth could deal with that approach because it suited them fine. They defended better, scrapped in midfield better and had enough quality to capitalise on opposition mistakes.
I still think 4-4-2 is the easiest way to win this league but have to accept we don’t have the squad for the formation. Dean brought in players to suit his favoured 4-3-3 and they are the players getting picked. Nicholson aside one assumes Butler brought in this seasons recruits with 5-3-2 in mind but seems to have forgotten that system stands or falls on having really good wing backs. Let’s at least make the most of what we do have.
Final thought, for all Barrows improvement in the role I would still prefer Scales playing there.

We will win 2-1 or 3-0
UTII am not convinced that we have any genuine WBs in the squad. We do have FBs, however, and we should use them as such.

We need to build on the second half from last Tuesday and first half on Sat – WB have to be on the edge of the opposition box not sat on the edge of their own. Beeston and Roberts in midfield are a serious threat and cause problems for our opponents. Thays how we make team worry about us

Solid performance tonight. Can’t ask for more than that. Subs made a good impact too. Particularly Carlton and Max. Onwards and upwards.

“Might well keep a few people quite tonight” what’s all that childish bollocks, most people have given honest opinion on the football of late and most are going to celebrate the win tonight, without being an happy clapper.
