Where does Martin in the hole behind Blackman mean out wide. Ince and Johnson out wide You could choose Hendrick in place of Butters to accomadate Martin in the hole also Its a 4-1-2-1-2 to accomadate Martin in the hole behind Blackman and Ince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiddingsRam Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 It's all a big emphasis on if Thorne fit or not , it seems to be without him we don't function ! I think too many people under estimate the holding midfield role ! It's absolutely vital in modern football ! You can't just chuck a central midfield player in there and expect him to carry out that role it's like putting a centre back to full back it just won't work ! When Thorne out we need a good back up option to play that role not a makeshift option ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put him in my team ahead of Hendrick and put Ince on the right. Carson Baird. Keogh. Shacks. Warnock . Thorne. Butters. Johnson Ince. Martin. Blackman. That should help Martin ie play him in the hole. Why put Baird there instead Christie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too bothered if it's Baird or Christie to be honest and your right in a way but it detracts from our overhaul build up play when Christie keeps bombing down the right and I just want it more solid with Baird as it is with Warnock Martin could do a job in the hole but nothing to stop him Ince and Blackman interchanging and being fluid.

Blimey - we must really be struggling! I don't think Baird is even better defensively than Christie, so would be ridiculous to pick him at right-back. Seems that most of the time Baird plays, he makes a mistake that leads to a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you say it's our defensive side that's the problem though Curtains? We've had one of the best defences this year with numerous clean sheets. I think it's clear to see we're lacking going forward and for that, there would be no dropping of Christie for Baird in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie20 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Assuming Hanson is available I would go: Grant. : Christie, Keogh, Shackell, Warnock. : Thorne, Hanson, Butterfield : Ince, Bent, Camara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We said that about Warnock and Forsyth though and I think Warnock saved us against Reading and has been solid. We were constantly on the back foot against Reading and Christie couldn't get out to attack. You make a good point but it's my gut feeling that Baird should play against Brum . l know I've said Baird is a journeyman but I think that comment was taken out of context at the time the same as the wool over the eyes comment I made which I was sorry for because clearly Mel and the Board have good intentions for DCFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fullback stops every cross - that's just impossible. Responsibility for conceding the goal rested squarely with Johnson and Russell, one ducking out of a challenge while the other stood motionless, gawping as the ball came over.

top 6 finish Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 The problem is as I keep saying,Christie is supposed to play RB and winger. There are times when he is going to be caught stranded.We don't have a decent winger.Christie is a good defender not many can beat him for speed.We need to invest in a good winger.
