CumbrianRam Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Why are people keen to change a formation that worked so well last season, because a player is injured who only featured for us in the past two months and people are suggesting formations which have not worked for us in recent years?

Shaftesbury Street Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 3-5-2? Bring in another centre half and play with Christie and Forsyth as attacking full backs, hughes, Hendrick, Bryson in the centre all floating around and Russell, Martin up top. Not a bad shout that, it makes sense when you have full backs that play more like wing backs. Bring in a CB with pace and the defense drop into 5-3-2.

YorkshireRam Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Flat 4-4-2 Grant Christie Keogh Buxton Forsyth Dawkins Bryson Hughes Ward Martin Russell Problem is, that feels more like a 4-2-4 and would probably end up that way in the fluid motions of play. Dawks, Martin, Russell and Ward will all want to get forward and we'd end up a bit exposed I think. I like 4-3-3. Sorry, not for me. I'd rather have Ward upfront with Russell playing on the wing. In my opinion Ward is a far better striker than he is a winger, he was at his best in the 2012-13 when he was playing upfront alongside Sammon; with a better strike partner in Martin he could be lethal.

Tombo Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 3-5-2? Bring in another centre half and play with Christie and Forsyth as attacking full backs, hughes, Hendrick, Bryson in the centre all floating around and Russell, Martin up top. You're on to something man. That's a great shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It matters not which way around they are. 1) It's not going to happen anyway 2) You still essentially have 4 strikers on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but hypothetically, Ward would start upfront over Russell in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanjwitham Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 3-5-2? Bring in another centre half and play with Christie and Forsyth as attacking full backs, hughes, Hendrick, Bryson in the centre all floating around and Russell, Martin up top. Please please no. All that's doing is changing a winger for a centre half, with no other real advantage. It doesn't even solve the issue at hand, in that there's still no genuine sitting midfielder, just Bryson, Hendrick and Hughes all competing for the same space in midfield. But there's now no real pace out wide - the fullbacks got forward plenty enough last season, you're just making it harder for them without them having a winger to overlap. A sitting midfielder to control possession and 2 pacy wingers to stretch teams was key to how we played last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Grant Cyrus, Keogh, Bucko, Forsyth Russell, Bryson, Hendrick, Ward, Hughes Martin Go for the 5-3 each week. Bryson and Hendrick both have the running to get up and back, play Hughes as the AMF behind Martin. It won't happen though. It'll be Eustace of Hughes in the holding role. It'd waste Bryson's motor and Hendrick can't play it, it's been tried. Perhaps the 2 holding players version could work, something like: Grant Cyrus, Keogh, Bucko, Forsyth, Eustace Hughes Dawkins Bryson Russell Martin Na..that's a rubbish idea.

Tombo Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I still think 3-5-2 is good idea if we were looking to try something different. But Plan A has to be Eustace. He's not that bad, relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Bryson, Hendrick and Forsyth wont be as effective in a 442. Also i really like the wide players as they have room to move inside. This is usually if an overlap (Forsyth) and CDM fills in. Fluid, attractive and thats just me.

Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 4-2-3-1 This is the only tweak i would make Would make us a bit lobsided though as hendrick, bryso and 1 other in midfield. Hughes and Eustace holding. We played the best footie since the early days of Jim Smith/ home games under Burley. Dont change whats not broke. We stick with 4-1-2-2-1. If doesnt work we revert to 4-2-4. For that though we need decent pairing with Martin............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
