Well the logic is that May isn't a 10 and while he's played there (and right wing) we've won 5 in 27. Yeah the defence is probably the main cause but questions over the ability of the unit to defend when a striker is at the top of the midfield. Our options in that area are becoming packed and giving one of the slots to a striker seems less logical to me, especially as it gives up a level of control. We've also just sold arguably the best winger in the league and are only going to replace him with worse options.YoungFishCosta4tune said:
I don't follow the logic here. You need flexibility in any squad, regardless of preferred formations.Chunes said:
I really dislike the idea that we might start playing a lone striker formation again when we've got Alfie May. Where is the joined up thinking from these guys. At least make it a switch between 352 and the diamond. Signing wingers doesn't make sense.DubaiCAFC said:
Fair points.. To be honest that formation you have mentioned, I believe will suit our midfield well.. I would say we are certainly looking to bring a winger or two in, to give us flexbility.Chunes said:
I hope they're aware Neil had a lot of success with his trademark 4-2-3-1 at other clubs, but at Stoke he was forced to play with wingbacks because of the squad and we know how that turned out.DubaiCAFC said:That’s the one
We still need wingers to at least give us different options from the bench.
May would suit playing the 10 position, almost a free role, behind a target man like Ladapo.
The double pivot would accommodate Dobson & Coventry to break up play and distribute while also covering the wing backs when we're ploughing forward.1 -
Still Duff for me, Jones would be ok, not keen on Neil for some reason.9

Alfie May is arguably better as a 10 than a 9.NabySarr said:Think Neil would be a great manager for a side at this level. He proved that recently with Sunderland.We can’t go back to a 4-2-3-1 formation though, we’ve got to commit to 2 strikers because our best player fits that system. The new manager needs to be 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 so if it’s Neil hopefully he’s willing to build around that2 -
Someone has put some money on Alex Neil then, he’s now favourite 😂2

Alex Neil now top of the odds at 1/2.

No chance of getting either but quite like the idea of Andrew Crofts (Brighton U21s) or Stephen Bradley (Shamrock, 4-League titles, gotten them into the Conference League Groups) from that list.Scoham said:Alex Neil now top of the odds at 1/2.

Is it just a coincidence that Mr Fleming was appointed just before Mr Appleton's demise?0

Not sure I’d agree with that at all, he scored some goals for us against some poor teams. But he scored loads throughout his career up front playing with a partner.ElliotCAFC said:

The new manager needs to be 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 so if it’s Neil hopefully he’s willing to build around thatEven if he is better, it’s about what makes the team better and he lacks a lot of what you need from a 10. He may score just as many goals from there as he does up front but a 10 needs to offer more creativity and control in possession. May as a 10 means you have one less central midfield player, in the games against better sides like Lincoln and Pompey in that period we played May as a 10 it was exposed and that’s why Appleton kept then playing him on the wing after that.I think we are a lot nearer a promotion winning 3-5-2 line up than we are a 4-2-3-1 so it really makes sense to carry on the 3 at the back path we’ve switched too, rather than switch back again and find out that Gillesphey and REG aren’t as good in a back 4. We need to stop changing systems, pick one and stick with it4 -
I fancy Osian Roberts, the guy behind the welsh national team revival and has just become caretaker at Como, they are now on a winning run. Someone will take him, lets hope its us3

Jurgen Klopp is leaving Liverpool at the end of the season. He hasn't been linked to a move to the Valley, yet, but surely it is only a matter of time...3

His assistant at Como wasn't half bad as a player , although I think he's just getting his Pro Licence - Cesc Fabregas.1 -
yeah, many people say that bro'.....LargeAddick said:Still Duff for me, Jones would be ok, not keen on Neil for some reason.

I’d include Eustace in my list. Wouldn’t look beyond the top six though.Dazzler21 said:I think I'd take any of the top 5 options.

If people thought Appleton just stood on the side then wait till you see Neil. Stoke fans are loving their new manager as he’s showing more enthusiasm and more attacking football.Just Appleton part 20

the first two in the betting have both failed at Stoke City, a bit of a manager's graveyard recently .. I've said before that i m o Jones is a NO NO NO, he talks a good fight but his only real 'success' was at Luton where Mick Harford was probably the real power behind Jones's 'success'Covered_End_Lad said:

Neil had not occurred to me as a potential candidate. He is decent option with successes in gaining promotions. I suspect he drives his players hard and can be a bit of a hot head. IF IF he comes, let him have his way please Mr Board Members, to conclude, he'll do for me0 -

I just want Warnock because it would be fun and we are overdue to actually enjoy being Charlton fans.17

Swap Eustace for Warnock (even though he’s probably waiting for a better job)Dazzler21 said:I think I'd take any of the top 5 options.

Don't see the point in Warnock unless one of those 4 that we want says they’ll only take it in the summer if we stay up. The others are all capable of keeping us up so I’d rather have them as they can then build with us for the next few years1 -

The more I watch with Eustace , about how he had to heavily use the academy at Birmingham (although that was mainly for financial reasons) the more I think he's a an excellent choice.
I do agree however that he's super unlikely to take the job and he'll wait for a championship opportunity to arise0 -
Warnock for me is just a fix till the end of the season and I really want the club to use this appointment as a springboard into next season so he isn't top of my list. Neil's time at Stoke really did fall apart but he is better than any of our last 48odd managers (Or however many we've had in the last few years).
Jones and Duff are still my top two though as I think they're success in league one and their style of play matching our current squad is the best for us going forward.2 -
Andy Scott is still 33/1...just saying...🙄3

John Eustace is another interesting option. Did really well at Birmingham on a tight budget before they fucked him over & appointed rooney.
