Before I get to my point I would like to qualify it by saying I have no problem with Dan and have no wish to see him sacked.

I think Dan is trying to hard to pull off a coaching/tactical miracle, every game we see changes in personnel and have seen a change in tactics from his first game, a good leader makes a decision which he believes is correct and sticks to it. In my opinion Dan and his team need to sit down and work out their best team and the best way to play them (4 at the back please) then play it for as much of the time as possible from now until the end of the season. They also need to park the principles and look at what works and I say this in particular to yesterday's game; how we ended the game still with 3 centre backs in defence is beyond me when every other team would have subbed one for an attacker or pushed one up front to try and create an overload.
My biggest fear though is Dan is playing 5 at the back to accommodate having Lewie and Tymon and George Williams and Callum Brittain in the team he needs to grow a pair and pick the best back 4 he can and leave the others on the bench, that way we can have more attacking options in the team - I feel sorry for Tavernier who looks like he won't ever get a game as the team isn't set up for a winger.

I agree with the initial point, Taverner though. I understand he is injured , how though? When? He's not played any football. How are all these players picking up injuries in training and disappear without explanation It's not good enough from club or player. If they don't want to play . Sod off

Do you actually go to any games, Tavernier has played.
Northampton 90 mins
Coventry 90 mins
Walsall 81 mins (Went off injured)
Oldham 30 mins (Came on as 2nd half sub)

Hang on.....you said he hadn’t played.....remember that.....not played a great deal you say......missed two games, through injury.....I would venture he’s been there more than you.
Hey but why let facts get in the way of a good argument.
Anyway for your info, he’s out because of a problem after going off injured against Walsall, and it flaring up again against Oldham.

I agree with what you say, but when you say play 4 at the back and only the best, would Lewie sulk again then the fans get on DM back? Tymon is better than Lewie. That was a massive factor for RN in the fans turning on him, I know we are fighting for our lives but if DM didn't play Lewie he wouldnt stand a chance with the fans

If he picks the best team and it works no one will complain, if he chooses to pander to egos or the fans and it works no one will complain however if whatever he does fails (as it is) everyone will moan regardless of who is in the team so really he just needs to make his bed and lie in it. My main focus of the original post though is to be strong make a decision and see it through rather than chopping and changing as if there is some magic formula to chance upon.

I’m pretty sure most of the changes DM has made match to match have been forced by injury and suspension rather than following the Neilson plan of “we’ll be flexible enough to change every game” which, as we saw, led us into a disjointed mess. DM defintely does seem to have a coherent way of playing in comparison.
