Thing is we will never have players to suit, because we don't have a philosophy, we don't have a scouting team to identify players with the skills we need, we don't train enough etc etc. The only thing right at this club is the fans, everything else is amateurish.

Yes. As I said we dont have players to suit a 433 yet we shoehorn them into it.
If we have a midfield 3 then they need to be comfortable with the ball, unlike Wright.
Identifying players is crucial as I have stated many times. Signing Fondop was ok but not as main striker so the combination is also vital. We could have signed 3 forwards from NL north and south that would have been more effective.
With Lainton, Pearson, Lawlor, Kennedy as the basis for experience we need 2 Cms and 2 forwards and then work around that with a couple of loans a COE player plus up and coming young player from NL north.
Its the basics.
