Boycie Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Less booing please! its this Saturday proper 3 PM kick off. Brum held the mighty Forest to a draw mid week, so does that tell us anything? I hope our midfield turns up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam the Ram Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Carson Christie Keogh Shackell Warnock Johnson Thorne Butterfield Ince Bent Razza Harsh on Grant after today's performance, but no clean sheet in 3. Hopefully Keogh is ok to play in a mask after he broke his nose, if not, Pearce/Buxton in. Give Razza a chance on the left and see what he can offer. Blackman or Bent up front, take your pick. And back to a 3 man midfield with Thorne back. Captaincy to Warnock/Shackell/Carson/Keogh/Thorne ... plenty of options for Clement to choose from. I reckon Clement will give them a huge kick up their backsides and we'll come out raring to go. 3-0 Derby win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I wouldn't try to make too many changes but we have to take form in to consideration. Nobody should get in this side automatically. Definitely go back to 4-3-3. Ideally I'd like to try: Carson Christie Keogh Shackell Warnock Thorne Butterfield Hendrick Ince Blackman Camara I feel Martin & Johnson should have a game out. Haven't done enough for me. If Carson isn't fit, obviously Grant. If Thorne's not fit, Baird. Eustace did fine for us last season. No point trying to shoehorn a player like Johnson into CDM as he obviously prefers going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexydadbod Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Carson Christie Pearce Shackell Warnock Thorne Butterfield Bryson Ince Blackman Camara Pearce to come in for the injured keogh who has a broken nose. If Keogh is medically fit then he starts with shackell in the heart of the defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddy Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Carson Christie Keogh Shacks Warnock Johnson Thorne Butterfield Ince Blackman Razza Go a true 4-3-3 [3 strikers interchanging positions] not a 4-3-2-1 system we play with Martin or Bent. It is really a must win game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBustler1884 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Players, manager and fans have a responsibility to show up and make a difference on Saturday. Let's get no the front foot from kick off and show the passion and quality we're capable of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 All the players need, and will probably get a one on one in the managers office this morning to assess their individual performance and the reasons for it. Clements team selection will depend a lot on the reaction/passion he gets from each individual. He has options & choices to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree re Johnson and Martin. And if Carson is available then it must be tempting to bring him straight back in and re-establish some clean sheets. If we have Thorne I could see a 4-2-3-1 working with Carson Christie Keogh Shackell Warnock Thorne Butterfield (with Jake slightly advanced of George) Blackman Ince Razza Bent Think ince and bent combine well - least they did against Brizzle.

Rampage Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 If Thorne plays then we have a chance otherwise we will struggle. A draw for me in this one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Really don't like the idea of Blackman as the lone striker. There's no evidence he's ever been any good at it. Most of his goals this season for Reading came from the right side cutting in on his left. Plus Bent deserves his chance now. The time has come for him to get a run in the team.

ossieram Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 The fans need to get behind the team for this game and with 3000 brum fans in the ground the atmosphere should be a lot livelier than last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 We have a big and apparently strong squad. If you don't perform, you shouldn't keep the shirt when there are people training hard to take your place. So, I would mix it up. I don't understand so many calls for Blackman as centre forward when Bent hasn't had his chance, so I would try Darren up there first. He deserves to be told he'll play for the next three games or something like that, rather than maybe getting five minutes at the end of a match. Also, I think Camara and Bent are probably going to work well together. I think Thorne's absence shows how valuable a player he is to us. While he's not always been firing on all cylinders, I'd bring him straight in and hope the break has helped him. The lacklustre midfield showing gives Bryson a great opportunity to come back in as well. I like the 4-2-3-1 formation and if I were the manager it's what I would want to play. But can we make it work? The answer seems to be no without Thorne. Do we risk the experiment of doing it with Thorne? If Bryson can play an hour, do we try a diamond? Or is it back to 4-3-3? Having brought in two more strikers, it'll be hard to keep them all happy if that's what we're playing. Should Keogh really play with a broken nose, the poor fella? Is this an opportunity to give Pearce a game on the right side of defence? Or would Clement stick with the "versatile" Shotton? I imagine Bucko is understudying Shackell on the left. Keogh's ability to carry the ball out of defence has been one of the highlights of the season and while the overall defending has been excellent, we've missed Bucko's distribution from the back. I think we'll see 4-3-3 with: Carson [if fit] Christie Keogh [in mask] Shackell Warnock Thorne Bryson Butterfield Ince Bent Camara Substitutes: Grant Baird Shotton Hendrick Johnson Blackman Martin though that leaves no room for Russell or Weimann (or Bucko and Pearce).

JW37 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Carson Christie Keogh Shackell Warnock Thorne Johnson Ince Butterfield Camara Blackman Grant just isnt 1) as good as Carson 2) as calm as Carson when it comes to distribution Ince and Christie combine a lot better than Blackman did on the right Thorne much needed defencive midfield to hopefully let Johnson do the box to box and Butterfield play just off Blackman Russell doesn't deserve to keep his place and Weimann hasn't impressed outwide so Camara Martin it's just not coming off for him at the minute give Blackman a go through the middle COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
