I think I have worked out what our current playing formation is......
It is the impressive Betinneli in goal with a square of eight outfield players with a big hole in the middle where two midfield players are clearly needed!
Every team we play seem to know how to exploit that big hole and attacks come straight down the middle of the field often from breakdowns after our own attacks, especially after free kicks and corners!
I am sure that JB is trying to get some bodies in for midfield. Peter Murphy for me has Stanley written through every part of his body like Blackpool rock but I honestly think that had he not scored another late goal that his rating would have been about 3 out of 10. Luke Joyce plays too deep and takes too much time deciding where he is going to pass the ball and hence often ends up passing it sideways or back. Creative enforcers needed urgently to fill the hole!
Defence looks good especially Aldred who would make a good caption for me. He is a "Captain Courageous" IMHO and would lead by example. Kayode is a must to start next match with Gray or Webber playing off him like Lutel James used to do off Paul Mullin years ago!
Anyway, confidence is better, we look like we are expecting to score goals and have a grand "never say die" attitude.
