I'd bring bryson for his energy. This could mean a slight variation in our formation 4141 putting an extra body in the middle. I was a great advocate of the 4231 but after Saturday in worries that it still isn't enough for us to control a game from midfield. Plus brysons energy would lift the team. Thoughts?

Can't argue with any of that but would add that Forsyth & Martin should start ahead of Olsson & Nugent. Your best players are your best players.

I'd rather Rowett kept quiet until the new player/s have signed contracts.Rumours are usually just fans throwing out names on forums. Not really, its very rare for a transfer deal to happen without it to have been rumoured (mentioned if thats a better word) in a newspaper or online with someone like Alan Nixon or John Percy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamLad1884 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Not really for transfers as such, but rather than buy I'd put fozzy in the left of the 3 behind the striker. He's sound defensively to guard the midfield two, but played his pre-derby career as an attacking left midfielder, he'd at least add some strength and height up top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of this is worth a try apart from putting Vydra out wide. We've tried utilising him there and it just didn't work. His best position is where he's playing now. If we use him intelligently in that position, he could become a real asset for us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S8TY Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 If GR has gone on holiday I can't see any more deals being done but I hope I'm wrong ...I'm more than certain now that some players are never going to make it happen for us ..Russell Anya Butterfield Johnson to name 4 but there are others not doing it either Anya was 4.5 m yet doesn't even start in our 2nd 11 against Grimsby!! also I'd change it to 3 at the back ...Keogh Wisdom Shackell for me and leave Davies out for a couple of games as he's been dissapointing ...we need pacey wide players who can deliver ...Russell infuriates me as it only took one decent performance against Bolton for people to forget the inept dross he's dished up for the last 2 seasons i will stick by my thoughts on certain players like Russell Anya Butterfield Pearce Ollson Johnson ( to an extent ) Hanson Weimann ...not and never will be good enough to get us promoted ...rather have a load of kids from under 23s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Rowett isn't playing to dominate possession. He trying to educate the players to press up as soon as the opposition get over the halfway line & then feed quick accurate balls to our speedy front 3 . In other words we are now reactionary. It isn't players we need its those players we do have playing smarter & working harder. Can they do it? We will see.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anya - promoted with Watford pearce - promoted with Reading Johnson - promoted with Norwich Russell - Wembley play off final, fouled when through on goal and opposition reduced to 10 men, who knows if he hadn't been subbed off for Dawkins straight away who knows he might have won it for us football is about balance and compatibility of players and we are searching for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikechi Anya aka Road Runner - "...suffers from the curse of the versatile player – you never know what their best position is." Johnny Russell - "...good runner but unrefined and lacks sophistication. SatNav entirely unreliable." Bradley Johnson - "...nothing like as smooth and desirable as the name suggests. Sluggish performance and inclined to overheat." Alex Pearce - "...likes to compare himself to John Terry "John Terry never seems to get caught," says Pearce. "People say he is not the quickest but he is sharp in the mind. "I actually try to base my game on him. I watch him all the time on TV and study his play.""I texted John and he said I could call him any time. He has since texted me a couple of times before games to wish me luck," added the ex-Reading defender." Jacob Butterfield - "...poor starter, unreliable runner, early signs of rust."
