I'm not a fan of Dieng in midfield, far and above better as a CB

Unfortunately not, should have happened sooner. Its a shame he was thrown in at the deep end before he was ready.

Confirmed as 5-2-3/3-4-3 (whatever you want to call it) by club twitter acct

Chris Phillips was saying there was talk of a 3-4-3

It's never 3 at the back; you always end up with 5

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

It's never 3 at the back; you always end up with 5

That's OK if you play the system intelligently.

I see they have Rueben Reid on the bench. Is he they guy who used to play for Plymouth, who we were reported to be interested in at one time?

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

I think it is quite telling that "we" can't agree on positions for some players and there are widespread views on the system to be played. Sings of a club in trouble, no?

Let's hope it confuses Cheltenham even more and we end up with 3 valuable points.

I think we've set up like this specifically to deal with their style of play and it kind of makes some logical sense. I would assume we will be looking for quick counters down the flanks.
