They like yes men, who are young and inexperienced so that they do as they are told and question nothing. We are stuck with Tonda, unless it gets a terrible situation like it did with Still. Then the next young hipster manager comes in. |  |

| 5 at the back on 21:46 - Dec 31 with 848 views | HytheFerrytales | My view is that going to back 4 is not a switch flicking move. It requires significant changes to personnel and quite a few role changes. Even if we select the right CB's ( most on here think they are all shit) you still need 2 "traditional" FB's...we got any ?? Add in the need for significant changes in midfield shape and the wide attackers' roles in the absence of wing back support. I wouldn't fancy the next 3 games using "on the job" trainees in a new idea. Summary...going to back four in the run up to the Fishy Park fixture has low risk-reward .potential. |  | |  |

I would ordinarily strongly agree. However, it doesn’t help that we have played with a back 4 in just two games this season, and they were both a shambles. Hull City away and the Skates at home. |  |

I think they would need a week or two to work on it in training, and there just isn’t the scope for that in this really crowded schedule of games. I think we may well see Quarshie, Bragg and Jelert all start today though. Jelert possibly at the expense of Fellows. [Post edited 1 Jan 9:51]

Personally I rather lose and adjust, trying something different than status quo. |  | |  |

Well Status Quo did have a hit with "Whatever you Want". Maybe Rik Parfitt (RIP) was contemplating the 3 at the back vs back four debate when he wrote it. For me getting the best eleven on the park is more important than the formation right now. |  | |  |

Little bit harsh slagging off the defensive formation that just kept a clean sheet. |  | |  |

Really? That was a pathetic performance against a shit team never looking like scoring until last minute. |  |

Such a load of Bollox, if we have more attacking players we can play further up the pitch. Everyone I talk to is sick of it. |  |

Don’t agree Jelert and Manning at Full back THB and Quarshie at CB and we must be bringing better in this month Then we have an extra body in midfield which we need Fellows Jander Charles Azaz Leo in behind AA up top 3 at the back can work but not with what we have and it encourages the ponderous passing we seem to be unable to shake |  | |  |

you cant attack for 90 minutes you still got to defend at times,i dont think tonda trusts what we have in a 4 otherwise we would be playing as a 4.I agree we need to move the ball quicker and playing a4 would probably help this but you cant be successfull when youre shipping goals almost every game. |  | |  |

Quarshie hasn't shown capabilities to play alongside 2 other centre backs, what makes you think he would prosper in a 2 man CB pairing? |  | |  |
