angieram Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 IF the players came home between games and IF Warne gave them Sunday off, they'll only be doing light training this morning and then travelling down. On the one hand, a bit less training might do them good; on the other hand it's less likely that Warne will risk another change of formation without practising it on the training field. But I would. I think the players naturally know how to play a 4231 or similar, and they'd just slot into the groove. Just get Sibley in there further forward and keep the ball on the ground! kevinhectoring, DavesaRam, JustOneBiblicalKazim and 7 others 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To try a new formation after only one’s days training session sounds like a high risk strategy to me. I can’t see it happening. I wasn’t at Bristol and didn’t watch the game on Rams TV so, I can’t really comment although by all accounts we were dire. It feels like something needs to change but I’m not sure what. There wasn’t much wrong in the formation for the first half against MKD, we just couldn’t finish more than one of our multitude of chances. First half against Peterborough we dominated but didn’t create enough clear cut chances so, was there much wrong with the formation then? I don’t know. Most of us have said it for a long time now that our primary problem seems to be our consistent inability to adapt to the opposition making changes at half time (perhaps the new formation you’re talking about?). I may have missed it but I don’t think Radio Derby have really challenged PW deeply enough over this glaringly obvious flaw in our game. Maybe it’s PW’s stubbornness, maybe it’s his limited tactical knowledge or maybe it’s simply down to the lack of suitable resources in order to make the necessary changes. It just feels like the elephant in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTom92 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Tapping in to my psychic powers to predict an Exeter win. Be nice if we weren't so depressingly predictable. Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Wildsmith; Rooney, Cashin, Forsyth, Roberts; Bird White; Barkhuizen, Knight, Dobbin; McGoldrick. Get back to the shape which saw us looking unbeatable. Get Knight running beyond McGoldrick and actually keep the opposition on the back-foot for longer than 5 minutes at a time. Have energy on the wings so we have an outlet and don’t set up camp in our half. Give the players who are either knackered, not interested, or both a rest and see what happens.

Gerry Daly Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I'm not sure why he has gone to a 3-5-2. It hasn't worked. We should go back to a back 4. Save your 3-5-2 for next season Paul when hopefully we will have the right players for it and a pre-season to work on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s cloudy in Exeter but 3 degrees warmer than Bristol. Been upgraded to a suite in the hotel, so I hope the football is worth turning out for.

Caerphilly Ram Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Warne saying a lot of the right things pre match about needing to change things, recognising some players aren’t at it or need a rest. We’ll find out at 6:45pm tomorrow if and what he’s done to change it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildsmith Knight Forsyth Cashin Roberts Rooney Bird NML Sibley Barkhuizen McGoldrick (McGee, Davies, Smith, Hourihane, Dobbin, Springett, U21 striker) Quite happy to leave White out of the 18 and promote whoever is the most promising U21 striker to replace the hapless Collins. If the most promising U21 striker is unavailable then the second most promising U21 striker can be included. If neither are available then give Collins a shout. Joan preferably, or failing that, Phil. Possibly Gemma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fiancée says the shots are wonderfully cheap in there. Exeter has some nice old pubs in the city centre. Look out for The Turk’s Head (High St), the Ship Inn (Martin’s Lane), the Old Firehouse (New North Road), the White Hart (South St) and the Exonian (Fore St). If you are on the Quay, the Prospect Inn is a local favourite and if you are near St. David’s, the Mill on the Exe is another. SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
