Subject: Cymru vs Ecuador

At sometime around 6 o'clock Cymru begin the Mini WC against Ecuador, the easiest team in our group. I have created a new formation that I don't believe has been used for Cymru before - 4-3-1-2


1 Michael Beddy GK
2 Gethin Coward DEF
3 Stuart Shepherd DEF
4 Jonathan Prothero DEF
5 Patrick wilcox DEF
6 Ronnie Johnston MID
7 Oliver Tipton MID
8 Robin Loveless MID
9 Alex Letheran ATT
10 Huw Gray ATT
11 Lionel Phillpotts ATT

12 Vinnie Fozer GK
13 Benjamin Smithe MID
14 Lloyd Hewitt DEF
15 Chris Morley ATT
16 Joshua Probin MID

er thats a 4-3-3

Sort of

interesting i shall be watching that one to see how that works. To me your forward who will no doubt play further back than your front two will be just wasted. the "norm" 4-3-1-2 the 1 is a middie to do the killer passing.

Morley as ATT on the bench ?????

dont know how your tactics are meant, but
- I dont see a defmid in your team (no dugmore or morley)
- Smithe is better than Tipton as CM
- if johnston is a winger, put him either very high or very low. AM also suits him.
- if one of those mids is playing as winger, I hope its Loveless (yet Bowen or Money - I always mix them up - or Seward is a better choice then as you can put Loveless anywhere else)

just my 3 pence :p

your supposed to say that after the game so we (mostly me) can annoy and pick on his mistakes :)

Morley and Smithe are making apperances in this game, each has 45 mins.

What's up with the 3 strikers? This is the easy match Rhys, don't fudge it.

but why is Morely an ATT sub??

Also the title should be, Ecuador vs Cymru as we are away not home :P

or get players injured, ooo Vogue and Matt wont be happy if you did that

but still, Morley has ATT order while his is a defmid (or def against weak countries) :p

two weeks in a row now aint it?? not a great start

1st minute injury to Gray, Morley on. NightmAre scenario :P

I never mind my players playing for their country whether it be a friendly or what not. If they get injuried they get injuried!.

Anyhow the defence looks better on paper for sure.


See what happens now :)

Going out for a curry so I might miss a Rhys ribbing moment :(
