We didn’t play 3 at the back against Stockport.

Surely we have someone at the club who can play left back, Tommy Rowe was found out again in that position, he’s been brilliant for our club but not at LB and any team we play just needs to concentrate on their right wing. Think Billy mentioned it our LB went AWOL and was in right midfield.I actually felt sorry for McGrath yesterday
Maxwell should be one of the first names on that team sheet when fit

The space they had on that side for their 4th was an absolute joke, it was like how did he have time from the kick off to be that far away from his position. Shocking.

I was talking about this yesterday. Formation doesn’t seem to make a blind bit of difference to us. Whichever one we’ve played for last few seasons, it more often than not, seems that we’re outnumbered in midfield and up top. That has to be down to personnel.
Personally I would go to a 4-2-3-1. It’s a low risk and simple formation.Waters in a second striker / no.10 position and Adelakun as a wide forward would support Ironside much better.That way the full backs don’t have to bomb forward and leave the centre backs exposed to make up for a lack of action at the top end of the pitch.We’ve somehow ended up with a load of midfielders that are neither attacking nor defensive. But it is what it is.
McCann really seems to have a blind spot with Maxwell. I just don't get it.
