Vydra Camara Nugent These types of formations just don't work with those players. The ball gets played into the 2 midfielders, all of the 4 forwards start making runs forward, and the midfielders have no one to pass to. It's exactly what was going wrong with Pearson's system. If you want to play a 4231 like this, you absolutely need a player to play 'in the hole' that grabs hold of the game and controls it - they need to be getting on the ball, and dictating the game. We don't have anyone that can do that. Hughes is the closest, but it's not really his game. It absolutely can't be an out and out dribbler like Ince or Vydra.

cannable Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 21 minutes ago, JW37 said: Carson Baird Keogh Pearce Anya De Sart Hughes Ince. Vydra Camara Nugent Tweak to the 4-3-3 system which I feel is needed. Bryson hasn't had a good game for 3 seasons and needs to go. Vydra should be hungry to impress given it's against his former team and after negative comments of late. And hopefully he'll thrive of Nugents running and clever play. If it feels too open Hanson can come into his natural and best position in midfield and Hughes pushed further forward, we can't break down 4-2-3-1 with our normal 4-3-3. His reintroduction under Wassall last lesson transformed us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Carson Baird Keogh Pearce Shackell De Sart Ince Hughes Anya Nugent Vydra Shake it up a bit. Vydra can show us what he can do playing off Nugent. Anya instead of Russell - Shacks can sort left back for a bit. De Sart needs a good game.

johnabpd Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hi all, I have recently started a new betting blog and have previewed your match vs Reading this weekend. You can read it here. I thought it would be of interest to the forum so hope you don't mind me posting! Best of luck for Saturday - it's a good opportunity to bounce back from a couple of disappointments in the league. Despite their position, Reading are nothing special and looked terrible vs QPR. There for the taking I think! All the best, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1967Ram Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 This game could go anyway! However, if Stevie Mac solves the left back situation and recalls Hughes and Pearce I expect us to just 'edge it'. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1967Ram Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Personally I'd like to see Russell back too as he provides more cover down the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Le Mesmer Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Desperately hoping I'm up to going this game. Been in agony all with with flamin' toothache and having one whipped out Friday afternoon. The pain has spread to my neck and just feel terrible. I'll have to use clapping for support instead of anything vocal. Be weird being mute if we score! It has the makings of a decent game. Not seen one since Forest so we're due one. Pearce back and Nugent to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Le Mesmer Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Barnsley fan mate asked me to go to the cup game at Oakwell tonight against Blackpool but I said I couldn't as I had toothache. He said you don't watch with your teeth. Sorry about that. Just thought it was mildly amusing at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember arriving at my grandad's house to find him crouched over a blood-filled sink. He had a large pair of pliers in his hand and on the sink was a tooth which with root must have been an inch long. Bloody thing been troubling me for a week he said casually.

B4ev6is Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hey guys i think david nurgent needs to start on saturday maybe have tom ince playing off him. With Will huges playing just behind them but we need 3 points on saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North East Ram Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I hope the plan is to score lots of goals and win. I don't mind who plays or scores for us to be honest. 3 points, some beer, a takeaway, watch the goals and MOTD. Night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully expect McClaren to go with a boring old '11 players' line up, but it would be interesting to see how the 3 of them cope. I'd be a bit concerned with our defending here, but they do say "attack is the best form of defence". This formation will truly challenge that.

Reminds me of the joke when Hughes says he will play forest on his own so all the lads can have a day off. Feeling a bit guilty the lads check the score at half time and see Hughes is beating forest 1-0. Well done Hughes they think. They check the score with about 20 minutes left and its 2-0. Delighted they decide to to go to the stadium to celebrate with hughes, arriving on the full time whistle. Going into the dressing room, they find the final score was 3-0, but find Hughes crying in the corner. What's wrong will? You won 3-0 against forest on your own, you should be delighted. I would be, says Hughes, but I got sent off with 10 minutes to go...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Nugent Anya Ince Hughes Bryson De Sart Olsson Pearce Keogh Baird Carson Mitchell, Shackell, Hanson, Vernam, Russell, Vydra, Bent After 2 league defeats on the bounce we need some Anya and Nugent love in the team to rally the troops, hopefully Anya and Olsson will both be back to allow this. Bench isn't looking particularly strong for this one which is a concern. Would take a point now if offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
