Darlo v Halifax Match Thread
With the build up to being back home not much talk of what we might do on the pitch.
Seems like we have two realistic options 4-4-2:
Jameson
Marrs Brown Burgess Galbraith
Gillies Scott Turnbull Thompson
Beck Cartman
Scott performances give MG a decision to make and his strength on and off the ball might be just what we need against what is likely to be a physical Billy Heath Halifax side.
Or we could go 4-2-3-1:
Jameson
Marrs Brown Burgess Galbraith
Turnbull Scott
Gillies Sayers Thompson
Beck
Even though this formation gives us more in midfield I don't think it offers us anything more defensively.

Re: Darlo v Halifax Match Thread
We won't go 4-4-2 until our defence is sorted and doesn't need the extra protection that a more defensive formation allows.
Re: Darlo v Halifax Match Thread
There's an argument that 4-4-2 offers more protection as the full backs have some cover from the wingers which they won't get in a 4-3-3 so much.darlo2001uk wrote:We won't go 4-4-2 until our defence is sorted and doesn't need the extra protection that a more defensive formation allows.
Swings and roundabouts, and I'd say more dependent on the work-rate/discipline of the individual players than the formation they're deployed in.

Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.

If Gray wants to start with Syers its 4-5-1 otherwise 4-4-2
When you concede mainly from set pieces formation is largely irrelevant on keeping those goals out

Less defensive cover can result in conceding those set pieces in the first place though.divas wrote:If Gray wants to start with Syers its 4-5-1 otherwise 4-4-2

Don't concede set pieces and you don't concede goals from set pieces.

Re: Darlo v Halifax Match Thread
It's an interesting one. With Sayers in a 4-2-3-1 I don't think we have any extra cover than we would with Cartman in a 4-4-2 as I think Cartman defends very well from the front.Spyman wrote:Less defensive cover can result in conceding those set pieces in the first place though.divas wrote:If Gray wants to start with Syers its 4-5-1 otherwise 4-4-2

Whereas if we move to a flat 4-5-1 with Scott, Turnbull and Falkringham in CM then we don't have much attacking threat and getting forward to support Beck.
I would tend to move towards a 4-4-2 as we have been far better at attacking than defending this season.

Re: Darlo v Halifax Match Thread
Seems a long long time since we've been discussing team selection. We must be in a sticky patch. Lol.
I think we'll go 442. Always seem to start that way at home. I'd have Turnbull and Scott in The middle. Scott isn't pretty. We'll he is. But you know I mean. He isn't pretty. But he is effective and he does the dirty work and gives the defence the protection it needs. I like Falkingham but he lacks the physical edge which sees him give away too many free kicks. And that puts us under pressure.
Up front. I would always start with Hardy and Beck. I'm Cartmans biggest fan. And that is why I am an advocate of bringing him on after 60 mins. Whoever starts always score beck runs the opposition ragged. The second player then comes on. When it's Nathan, he's a more intelligent player and can find the magical position to nick the winner.

Re: Darlo v Halifax Match Thread
Cartman seems to be out of favour at the moment, as he was an unused sub at Kidderminster. I reckon we'll go with Beck and Syers up front tomorrow.

Re: Darlo v Halifax Match Thread
Would really like Cartman and Hardy up front for a change with Thommo and Gillies on the wings and try and change our style of play to more passing and movement rather than long high balls into the box but with them having quite a few tall lads I think MG will stick with Beck.

Re: Darlo v Halifax Match Thread
Should be a cracking atmosphere tomorrow with 3300 in the ground, really hope we put on a decent show with a large media presence and don't freeze like we have done in the past but this set of players have not failed us yet, cannot wait.

Nadolig Llawen i bawb... My planned boxing day shindig at the outlaws is now cancelled last minute so if anyone knows of a ticket going can you please message on 07921536752... There's a bonus couple of beers in it for you as well as the price.
Re: Darlo v Halifax Match Thread
It certainly looks as if we have taken one thing from Heritage Park to Blackwell Meadows for tomorrow's game. The bloody wind machine.
Re: Darlo v Halifax Match Thread
50mph gusts blowing towards the tin shed.
Re: Darlo v Halifax Match Thread
There's going to be a few balls kicking around south park tomorrow

Re: Darlo v Halifax Match Thread
Can't sleep. Excited.
Re: Darlo v Halifax Match Thread
There's only one position in debate for me. Does he start syers and go 4-5-1 or start cartman and go 4-4-2. (Scott deserves to start). I'd go with Cartman today as he's up against his hometown team
Re: Darlo v Halifax Match Thread
I am genuinely confident we will win 3-1 today. But if we don't can we please put a gagging order in place to prevent the following appearing on here later? "We created enough chances and should have won today, but got undone at a couple of set pieces. No disgrace losing to a team below us in the league who play in Blue. MG will sort things out he usually does."
Roll on 3 o'clock let the party begin!
