So what's wrong with the team at the moment?
BBBC didn't resign :sad:
I have to agree with this - we looked more threatening when he played. Apart from that, I don't think there's a huge amount wrong - formations against Walsall and Swindon were slightly strange (very strange against Walsall).BBBC didn't resign :sad:

Re-sign? :winking:
Brown is an old dinosaur !
Is there any other sort of dinosaur than an old one?
I think we've been unlucky in the fixtures we've had. So far we've played 3 of the top 7 (will be 4 when we play Coventry next week). We've got good draws against 2 of them, and have been unlucky to lose one of the other 2. I didn't see the Walsall game so can't comment.
The thing about those fixtures is that for the last 2, we've effectively been forced to play 5 in midfield to counter the same for the opposition. Certainly before the Doncaster game, it was felt that was what we needed to do, and if we hadn't done the same on Saturday, we'd have been torn apart.
However, we 've been the better side in the last 2 games, and with a bit more luck could easily be sitting with 7 points. So, I don't think anyone can really criticise the formations / tactics. FWIW, I think PB has got it tactically spot on so far this season. (sorry, cheap shot I know BB, couldn't resist).
Summing up, we need to get the Coventry fixture out of the way, if we get a point, that will be fantastic. And then we can hopefully have some easier fixtures, where we can be a bit more open in the way we play. I'm still convinced we'll be mid table by the end of the season.
Brown plays numerous new fangled formations and not old fashioned 442 and gets called a dinosaur. :facepalm:
I have no idea why we are where we are. We have put in two decent away performances and one home game yet only got 2 points.
Hunt being injured hasnt helped and not keeping a settled team does us no favours, but when they played like they did against Walsall changes had to be made.
Under Phil at the Hall in league only,we have managed 55 goals in 51 games,his new fangled formations clearly don't work that well with only 1 goal on average per game,pretty crap really.
Also resulted in promotion.
I dont mind 4231 but would rather 442, but the point is he clearly isnt a "dinosaur", if anything he is the opposite.
For me, I don't think there is too much wrong. I think the club should be looking at a coach who has proven attacking experience. We look naive and too honest, when we need to have more inventiveness and killer creativity. Brown should be encouraging the players to get in opponents faces and take them on and have a shot, instead of playing it out to the wings, pass it about and put in a woeful cross.
