But I thought all our experts said were wedded to a 4-3-3 and it's the only formation Appleton has played in his life???
Because he pretty much has, he's played 433 or a variation of (4231/451 usually) for about 80% of his games in charge.
He's only utilitised 3/5 at the back in a dozen games in total, according to transfermarkt, and even then it looks like he uses it in times of injury crisis
I'd just like to preface today's game by saying that for all the Hector criticism, I can't remember anyone ever suggesting Ness should be starting ahead of him.
If Hector's off it would be good business getting a fee for him especially when he's out of contract in the summer anyway. However, I do actually think he's probably injured.
No, no mate you’re not supposed believe that get on board with a possible conspiracy theory 😉. Having said that we signed O’Connell who didn’t last long last season when Wrexham came in for him in January.
Ness is only playing because Gillesphey wasn't registered in time and Hector is injured, let's not kid ourselves he's suddenly fantastic and first name on the teamsheet again

His "ding dong!" catchphrase refers to our chaotic style of defending, especially in the latter stages of matches.
3 goals from the oppo central midfielder, 4 from the oppo centre forward, 3 from the oppo left back.
