Could be but that would leave just Adeeko in the midfield as I expect Thelo to play off Magennis.

He's not my favourite player, but his caps for NI show that he's capable of sometimes not being shit.
Thelo will drop in alongside Adeeko but push up further than him when we have the ball. It’s where he started the season.
It’s likely to be a back 5, Adeeko and Thelo in midfield and then Jones and Goodo wide of Super Josh.
I just hope we don’t perform like we have done on some of the previous away games where we’ve had 3 anttacking players and then the rest of the team camped on the edge of our own box. We also need to pass it quickly and try to go forward not just roll it around at the back, it just invites pressure and we end up making mistakes.

I moaned about playing one up front under Leam. I moaned about not playing out and out wingers.
I have never had much objection to long balls being played. It can be much more effective at this level.

I think it's a 5-4-0.25 line up.

Adeeko gives a bad pass and we concede a penalty...

Can Maloney not see that this constant playing sideways and backwards is what leads to these problems, again Adeeko turned back to goal instead of looking forward and got caught.

One of two things then, either he's the best of a bad bunch for NI or he can't be arsed at WAFC.
Both in my opinion!

Tickle's hands seemed to be behind the ball, and their player kicked it through. Why is that a penalty?
Also, 2 minutes previously, the ref gave us advantage when ( I think it was Aasgard) was fouled twice on the edge of the box, but then lost the ball ... and he didn't go back to the foul.

If we had Kane or Haaland up front you would still moan and criticise

So you think its a wise move starting Magennis, are you watching the game?
He's their twelfth man ffs!

No he can't, obviously.
I thought it was a clear pen tbh. Adeeko was very sloppy and Tickle was slow to react.
We look pedestrian again, despite dominating the ball we’re not doing much with it and there doesn’t look much threat. Nobody makes any runs in behind, it’s all in front of their defenders and it’s easy for them to predict what we’re going to do.
I’m honestly concerned that if the current away from carries on then we’ll go down this season. I’ve seen a couple to teams (Carlisle and Fleetwood) who looked very poor and I think they’ll go down. There’s times when we’re as bad as they were though. We can play well but the lack of consistency could really cost us this season.

With the shite football Shaun has delivered this season both those would struggle up top on their own playing for us.
