Warrington Rylands

[premier iron]

On a run of 6 unbeaten Interesting how Butler plays it?

[MK Iron]

Prem I think you (and Rylands) could have a pretty accurate guess as to how Butler will play it.

[Sanfran49]

Could it be a defining match ?

Will the new signings play ?

[Alfred]

Could Butler decide to give 4-3-3 a go under the precept of resting certain players and giving the fringe players a game?

Maybe the new players will allow him to play a different formation. Let’s see who they are but surely an opportunity to slot them into the team and make an impact.
He might also give Brogan a start and remember Rowley but it’s a game we need to win.

He can’t win in this game.
If he plays the ‘stiffs’ and we get shafted then he’ll get slaughtered.
If he plays the usual suspects and we win then some will say he should have rested them and give the squad players game time.
Hiding to nothing!

A game we could do without really,I just want them to concentrate on the league.
And let it be at Leamington we start.

I absolutely agree.
Cup games, unless you have a Gainsborough Trinity type run are meaningless.
We need to ensure promotion.

Then again, every journey starts with a hop, a skip and a jump?

You can’t make an omelette without a chicken laying an egg?

If we win he’ll be OK, maybe a few “constructive observations” If we lose he’ll get slaughtered.

It’ll be interesting to compare the 12th and the 19th.

Issue for me was pre-season recruitment based on the system that was going to be favoured ?

Will new players help a new system be introduced while present players settle into it ?

Aye, it’ll define whether or not we stay in the Trophy!

No extra time – straight to pens.
Net receipts from the fixture are shared.

Let’s hope it doesn’t turn out to be Warrington Crylands!

Dangerman – Ben Hardcastle?
Formation (in this one) – 3-2-3-2
Strengths – flood forward
Weaknesses – dodgy at the back

You don’t know you’re going to go on a run in advance of playing the matches, though. Isn’t that part of the beauty of it?

Chicken ‘n’ egg

[lesgeo]

Were the summer recruits really brought in for the AB formation? – If so, why so many guys playing out of position?

[MK Iron]

3-5-2 (more often 5-3-2 in our version) needs three things:

At least one centre back who can pass the ball consistently well
2 wing backs who offer a constant threat in attack
A holding midfielder that can (and loves to) tackle

We didn’t have any of those 4 before recruitment and sadly we didn’t have any once it was completed. Honourable mention to Barrows who has adjusted just about enough to be an OK wing back at this level.

I can see why we recruited Carlton although yet to deliver. The rest baffle me if this was the only formation in play.

Did Butler recruit for 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 and then get swayed to the dark side by Schofield? He did arrive post recruitment. One assumes Turnbull had some influence on recruitment and that didn’t end well.
