All you've done is swap olsson for Warnock and weimann for Blackman. Much bigger and braver formation and/or personnel changes required in the final third I'm afraid.

EulogyForEvolution Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Carson Christie Keogh Shackell Olsson Thorne Butterfield Bryson Weimann Johnson Martin Grant, Baird, Hendrick, Russell, Ince, Bent, Blackman Perhaps harsh on Camara and Warnock losing their place on the bench, but Baird can cover the back 4 and Camara hasn't looked the part so far. I'd really like to see Johnson and Weimann play in familiar positions for once - let's see what they can do! OR Carson Christie Keogh Shackell Olsson Thorne Butterfield Hendrick Bryson Martin Weimann Grant, Baird, Johnson, Russell, Ince, Bent, Blackman Go back to the narrow diamond, the formation he intended to play to begin with - we have the players to suit it now at least. His possession based tactics might just not work in a 4-3-3 as well as they do in a narrow diamond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninos Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I'd be tempted to go 4 -1 - 3 - 2 where the 3 are Ince in between Bryson and hendrick/Johnson/Butterfield (choose one) with Blackman and bent up top. Bent and Blackman will stretch the defence and poach and connect on crosses. Ince plays central where he's at his best, while Bryson and one of the others wreaks creative havoc in attacking midfield. You could even play Johnson on the left of midfield where he had most success at Norwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a formation change will guarantee a result? We had chances against Preston we just didn't get any on target. Yes all I've done is change 2 players. We need a slight tweak to get a result we don't need to tear up everything we've done this season and start fresh, I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I would start with this: ..........................................Carson............................................. Christie.............Keogh........................Shackell...............Ollson ........................................Thorne.............................................. .......................Butterfield....................Bryson........................... .........Ince.........................Martin..........................Weimann.... Ollson may not be as strong as Warnock defensively but Weimann is very good and fast at getting back. Could work on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i-Ram Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Whilst I have no great sympathy for PC in respect of his team selection/formation dilemmas, as this is after all his prime responsibility, I feel we should all have some appreciation of the difficulties. Based not only on this thread, but also a couple of others I have just caught up on, the only players "we" can all agree on are Carson and Thorne - with just a couple of dissenters re. Shackell because his passing is the standard of a Championship centre back ? If he were to consult "us" it would seem we would offer 3 names, and then say pick the other 8 from 19 'out of a hat'.

AmericanRam Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Won't even try to predict what lineup PC will go with for this one; just hopefully Rams come out ready for this one and show some enthusiasm. On Bein Sports Connect as well,so solid chance a stream will be found. . COYR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, both are strikers that rely on service and don't actively search for the ball. Partnerships work with one doing the hardwork and one finishing the chances, like Watford with Ighalo and Deeney.

DCFC1976 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 For what it's worth I'd go with; Carson Christie Keogh Shackell Olsson Thorne Hendrick Butterfield Ince Martin Blackman Subs Baird, Warnock, Bent, Johnson, Bryson, Weimann, Grant. Ince needs a performance, or he can take a break from the team. Would probably have Baird instead of Christie but don't want to change both full backs at the same time?! I like Johnny Russell but I think Clement will leave him out this weekend especially after saying that Bent & Weimann will be in the squad?!
