brady1993 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Honestly ? I really don't know. The nailed ons seem to be Carson, Wisdom, keogh, Davies and Huddlestone. After that you have to expect Lawrence will first 11 and then there are a lot of maybes. Olsson seems to be outperforming Forsyth but most would consider Fozzy the better playing when fully fit. I suspect kieftenbeld has been brought in to pair with Huddlestone but he could be just cover. Vydra has looked bright this season but has also been wasteful. Nugent has done ok without setting the world alight and again has been a bit wasteful. Both wiemann and Russell have looked good one week, poor the next. Martin hasn't done a deal but has had very very little service or support when played. Has Winnall been brought to be a first teamer or a rotation option ? Where do we plan on playing him? In short it's a bit hard to predict exactly where Rowett will go, particularly with attacking options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest there's one or two who could play a variety of positions in the front 4. From what people have said of Winnall I could quite see him fighting out with Weimann for that wide-player-who-cuts-in (otherwise known as The Jamie Ward) role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HectorsHouse Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 30 minutes ago, sage said: Carson Wisdom Keogh Davies Forsyth Huddlestone Keiftenbeld Lawrence Martin Vydra Winnall I'd swap George for Keiftenbeld and swap Martin and Winnal around as Lawrence, Winnall and Vydra are more than mobile and capable of linking up with Martin...I think it looks a decent set-up..solid at the back with cover in the midfield and mobility and guille in the offensive third...

Sheringham played behind the main CF and he had no pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I'd look at a 4231 like this Carson Wisdom Keogh Davies Lowe Huddlestone Thorne Weimann Vydra Lawrence Martin With everyone fit and firing, that's our best team imo. Bench would be: Mitchell, Baird, Shackell, Kieftenbeld/ Johnson, Russell, Winnall, Nugent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably one of very few times I will say this but ramage was correct and rowett was wrong. The most successful number 10s are creative, mobile, and often little magicians. Let's say sage is right and Martin played in that position years ago, I bet Martin is very different now from all those years ago and I am guessing that was in league one he did that role? vydra and Lawrence are primary and secondary choices in that position for me.
