I'm flying into Birmingham airport tomorrow,be nice to go back to the shrine, we play Stoke, I'm really hoping for 3 points on Saturday against the clay heads, I will have to stay in that dog hole of a place Wolverhampton,where I have a place , i will get the Metro to the Hawthorn stop, can anyone tell if there is a decent pub there or not, thanks on advance, COYB

Get your beer in the Great Western,  Wolvo then 15 minutes on the tram. Maybe leap off at Dudley St. just before West Brom, 2 minute walk to The Old Hope Pole or the Wheatsheaf. All good ales and crusty cobs. Obviously no colours in the Wolvo one. There's little by the ground and that end of West Brom it's lagers or cider apart from the overpriced and overrated Vine.

Thanks for the info.

Why do posters keep picking Campbell when we were told on Saturday he was out for 2 to 3 weeks with an injury. Bizarre if he’s suddenly fit.

Imray looked completely hopeless on Saturday. Good job we haven’t signed him from the Villa is all I can say.

They all looked completely lost Saturday. Every single team in the 92 would have beaten us Saturday.

I read 1-2 weeks.

What I would pick;

Griffiths
Campbell Phillips Diakite
Imray Price Mowatt Styles
Jimoh Heggebo MJ

What I think he will pick;

MOL
Campbell Phillips Mepham
Imray Molumby Diakite Styles
Price Heggebo MK

Both horrific tbf.

Let me guess you'd want to play; a flat back four with 2 of Diakite, mOwatt and Molumby together in the middle? 

Because that's worked so well so far.

It worked a damn sight better than a back 3! By a mile!

A back 4 wasn’t the problem under Mason. We were competitive. I still can’t believe anyone is now suggesting a back 3 after the last 4 games. It’s extraordinary. It’s taken us from average to uttter shit, as we don’t have the squad for it.

No issues with people writing a back 4 down if that's how they get their kicks.

To be fair my suggested team can quite easily line up as a 4 or a 5. It's about the balance of the playing profiles. Not the formation.

Quite… but just one more game playing a system that is stinking the place out will see it right! In almost every game under Mason we were competitive, we lost mainly due to stupid individual mistakes defensively and piss poor decision making and finishing up front. It wasn’t the tactics or formation that were the problem it was down imo to the quality of players every bit as much as the inexperienced manager. Oh and I thought it was a mistake to bring Mason into the club in the first place… but I’ve been pretty much against almost every decision the club have made since TM was appointed.

If we have to persist with 3cbs I think we should look at Diakite as one. He had probably his best game for us as a cb.

If that’s how they get their kicks? I don’t think it’s getting kicks. I think it’s their eyes seeing the last 4 games the formation has been a disaster as we haven’t got the squad to play it.

Balance of the playing profiles? FFS. At this point I have to loff.
