I wouldn't be surprised to see Alves and Braybrooke play as 8s, in a 4-3-3 when we have the ball with Skipp or someone similar playing as a 6.

Hamza has to fit in there somewhere, as he will be our captain this season.

Maybe as the 6 or RB.

 

Could still leave.

Skipp will play as Martin will want a lemming who will always make a pass back to the CB at the expense of open players and a quick drive.

Pretty common across football.

 

Why not just give the bloke a chance, feels like some are desperate for him to fail.

It’s not like we have found a hidden gem with some sort of 4d chess tactics that utilises the strength of players. 

 

He is a known known.  He hasn’t came out and said he will do the opposite that has caused him to fail in recent jobs. The eye test is more than enough. 

 

Skipp is shit even if he was free.  The point being Skipp is a brain dead footballer who always chooses the easiest pass to stink us out. This modern style of 20 passes when a player could just turn his body and continue forwards.

No but he’s shown he can get a side promoted and go on 25 game unbeaten run in the league above. 

He here and that nothing going to change short term.

Like 90% of manager who have have had a job.

 

The eye test says he can get a side promoted.

A player that may not be here at the start of the season.
