  • Are wingbacks the best option?

    Stupid question. Why does he continue with it when it doesn't suit us and has us struggling around the bottom of the division?

    At least Furlong has the potential to be one if he gets coached properly for the role, but that's about it for this squad. Perch? Not really, and will we ever see Kakay again?

      Because he is bl**dy obstinate and refuses to see that he is not right.

        nope, certainly not our best option, limits us far too much and leaves us too open at the back. fullbacks are supposed to defend and support at this level and no more, ridiculous how ollie still sticks by our 352 formation when more often than not it backfires

          He must be aware of supporters questioning his insistence on wing backs yet never comments

            Afraid this will be a question for the Ollie defenders to answer and explain

                Current insistence on playing wingbacks is like digging a hole with a fork

                  Olli is probably trying to develop Furlong into a wingback, but is the same Furlong good enough in doing his basic defending properly. I don`t know really.

                    Shania. Furlong did ok yesterday but has clearly had no coaching on how to play wing back. Over lapping runs, running into space off the ball and providing attacking natural width. Bidwell is the same and cannot blame either player.

                      With players that fit yes but we havent got those players.

                      As a lot of said play with wingers we might get better results

                        Or stabbing yourself in the eye with it.

                          I think he's unsuccessfully going for safety first by giving himself the extra man in m/f , I've said many times I don't like it even in good side , even tho the game was over second half I thought we looked a lot more comfortable when Scowens moved to l/b in a back four

                            Yes play with wingers and get crosses in for the likes of Sylla and Smith, but that makes far too much sense for a manager who had his day with play off promotions for Blackpool and Palace and a League 1 promotion with QPR, but for the most part has been a failure or mediocre the rest of his career

                              Did we play 4-4-2 at Forest ?

                              Can't stand 3-5-2 personally....especially when you don't have attacking FB's
