Read twitter posts and listen to people on a match day and we all say exactly the same thing about the formation not working. Butler after yet another defeat and a terrible performance is still claiming the formation is fine.
Up to press this season we’ve had two complete performances and one of those was against a shocking Farsley side. I honestly don’t know what he’s watching.
I’m puzzled as to why fans are thinking more players are going to turn this around with Butler in charge. The man is in complete and utter denial.

Football is awash with ex pros who are useless at management, some very high profile ones to boot. Do fans know better? Probably not but you don’t need to be Zidane to see something isn’t working, we’re in the relegation spots on the form table for the last 8 or so games – with the resources available that is really bad.

ABs post match interview kept going on about and reinforcing the system he plays.
If the system is so good why does he need to do that?
Buxton played three across the back extremely well, they didn’t crowd the defence or midfield with two wingbacks as ABs useless system does.
We are now at a precarious 4th with teams around us in better form and similar on points.
I have no faith in AB turning things around and we will be lucky to scrape into the playoffs at the current rate.
So how long do we persist before a managerial change is inevitable even to those in a position to do something about it.
Any new manager (and I do not want Schofield) would need time to settle, influence and turn things around.
Where is that point in the playing calender? It’s Christmas at the latest for me.

Less a change of system I’m afraid, more Butlers response as to why his system isn’t working lately.
Can’t be the 7 defensive players. They are only gifting poor teams about 3 goals a game – apart from Radcliffe who were not even good enough to accept their gift invitations.
It must be those useless attackers. The 4 of them can’t even dominate an 8 or 9 man defence.
At least Luke can take residence of the Jordan Hallam memorial physio bench now Roberts and Beestin (thankfully) have stopped sharing it.
He might have to push Law aside – not a difficult task based on his few cameo appearances.
Don’t know what Turnbull did that warranted termination but it must have been bad to have beaten a couple of more obvious candidates out of the door.

As a fan base we should get back to wanting demanding a total clear out, in the main we all wanted and expected to set us on a new path. You cant expect change when there’s no will to do it properly from top to bottom.
Anyway at least it’s a start.1 user thanked author for this post.
2-1 down made substitutions and still played 5 across the back!!!!
Two players shone today Beck and Brogan the latter was our most creative player.
So you have a duel footed fullback in Kelly, and your most creative midfielder Brogan, so who would you put to fullback to maintain your 5 across the back?
Yes of course Andy, the answer is Kelly, you eventually got there and put Brogan back to midfield, after creating nothing for the 20 minutes he was at fullback.
You are hapless, floundering and well out of your depth.
Bye.
At last, dropped the ineffective back 5 formation and the team played a lot better today at Leamington.
Brogan was starman for me, and they all put a shift in.
Only negative point, their right full back had too much ball and too much space, which tells you that we are unbalanced on the left hand side.
Keep reading Andy for more pointers

Brogan could be a ‘find’ to sort out midfield. I’ve had glimpses and liked what I’ve seen.

Brogan should have been regular ages ago
Why couldn’t Butler see that1 user thanked author for this post.
