iamalagerdrinker Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Looking at the goals today, one was a penalty the other was a scrambled goal scored on the line, defence does look shakey at times I'd like to see 4 at the back personally.

Pooki Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 The second Wes didnt track his player or even attempt to intercept , was right in front of me , frankie saved first effort but rebounded straight to doyle . No need to changr anything , some people forget there are two teams on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamalagerdrinker Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 You want us to change our formation, now..?! 17 games unbeaten and top of the league..?? Jeez! Just my opinion, when we changed to 4-4-2 it came across (reading online) we seemed a lot more stable, granted we're doing phenomenally well 3 at the back just doesn't seem that safe to me.. But thats probably why I'm not a Football Manager! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thats probably why I'm not a Football Manager! You weren't even there..?! Let this seasons stats tell you, we don't need to change our formation! When you score 3 goals a game you are always going to concede a few. Today 1 was a pen and the other was down to a 19 year old not knowing how to track his man. Other than that we were second best most of today but still didn't really look like conceding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 The fact is the 3-5-2 formation we have used this season has yet to result in a situation where the other team has scored more goals than us. I'm not sure if there could be a bigger endorsement for a formation. Who cares if we don't keep a clean sheet if we score three goals week in week out? Don't change a thing.

Dynamite Red Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Atyeo, Wedlock, Dicks, Cooper are City legends. Cotterill has done a very good job so far and hopefully we are mentioning his name amongst those mentioned above in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Litoris Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Legend? We've got bellends on here who don't think Carey deserves that status? We might not even go up this season!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Changing shape was necessary at the time and give Chesterfield some credit for making the most of the re-shuffle. They might well of been horrible bar stewards but they put in a decent performance and only conceded the points in injury time. If I was a Spiriteite fan I'd be feeling very aggrieved.

I wasn't at the game but my understanding was that Smith was injured and his departure meant changing the shape was unavoidable. Maybe I misunderstood that bit.

He's brought the good times back to AG after some VERY dark days, and that's good enough for me. For the record, Carey was an excellent servant for the club, but legend?
