Ferguson Caretaker Manager

[Noble Savage]

Do you think he play 4-4-2 and have Keane and Mina with Coleman and New lad?

I think so but I'm not entirely sure . He may of picked up Carlo's tactics with a packed midfield or he may go back to direct play that he used in his last stint as manager .
Anything but 5-3-2 please . Using Gray as the team's hail Mary hasn't worked .

Id like to think we see Patterson but you just know he will stick with Coleman, I also think he might put Godfrey back on the left (hope not) I think he will just go dead simple to try and get a result.

Let's hope he can achieve this -

he's got a job on his hands, Benitez has left a right mess after himself, maybe the passion of Duncan will lift the players and the crowd will get behind the team.

I agree with this . I think he'll try and keep the back very tight if he goes with 2 up front .

Sometimes that's all you need . Joe Royle inherited a real ragtag team but he used them to create my favourite midfield since the 80's . He won our last cup with just a bit of tactical nous and a lot of chest thumping .

Just watched them train...loudest I've seen all them ...110% effort by the looks.

Ferguson and Ebbrel loud as hell too.

I fear dunc loves Rondon though.

I haven't seen any footage at all of Ebbrell since he retired from playing.
No interviews or anything. Another player who could of been a one club player if it wasn't for his rotten luck with injuries .
He was so highly though of at Lilleshall.

The scene is set for a rousing occasion on Saturday.
Where's that ball boy?
Probably writing his memoirs.....

We should all applaud this if true. You cannot properly search for a manager in a few days.

A few days? We have been looking for 6 years

I think he has to go 4-4-2 now he has players back. Pickford in goal, back four of new lad, Godfrey, Mina and Coleman, Gray, Doucoure, Allen and Gordon across the middle with Richy and DCL up front. When we go 3-0 up he can put Patterson on for Coleman, Townsend on for Gordon and Simms/Dobbin on for DCL. At 5-0 he can bring himself on for Richy. I felt a bit giddy when I heard Benitez got sacked, hasn’t gone away as yet.

So he would rather bring his ancient , broken down body on than Rondon ? Yep , I'd do the same .

Thought we'd spent weeks saying 433 was the way to go, why are we now saying 442 because it's Ferguson picking the team?

442 doesn't work for us, we don't have players who can do it. We all know that.
