Struggling to cope with the big boys

Just ike Arsenal, my Rabona team has been frustrating whenever we get promoted to League 1. I have never lasted one season in the higher cadre and always get kicked back.

In case you're wondering why I haven't talked about Arsenal in a while, it is because the team has been depressing and I've had to focus on other things in my life. Don't get me wrong, I'm still cheering on the boys but I honestly can't bear the type of football we're playing this season. Perhaps a refresh will do us good.

Any way, my Rabona team's formation has been 4-3-3 for the longest time but due to the constant punishment I've received, I decided to switch to a 4-4-2. There has not been any improvement so far, as I've lost three consecutive games to a 2-0 scoreline.

I'm going to tarry on with this formation for two or three more games to see if there will be any improvement. If nothing changes, I'm going to revert to a more defensive setup that will see my defenders occupy the deep-lying midfield role and then attacking midfielders higher up the pitch.

Will be keeping my fingers crossed to see how that goes.
