SFox1993 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I would like to see us go a little more attacking on Sunday(Partly because of injuries). I'd rather we had a proper go at getting that elusive win under our belt , than get a draw. Id go with the following .. Carson Wisdom Keogh Davies Forsyth Huddlestone Palmer Vydra Weimann Lawrence Jerome My thinking behind this is trying to get Palmer and Vydra linking up together in that pocket of space behind Jerome. With Weimann and Lawrence supporting the defense when needed. Could replace Jerome for Nugent but i like Jerome's workrate. Worth mentioning that this is when we are attacking... When we dont have the ball it would look more like 4-5-1 so we are not overrun in midfield Thoughts? COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmo Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I'd go with this, anything that keeps the liability Johnson out of the starting 11 is good for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be tempted to start Anya over Lawrence so he can be up and down helping out defensively - if there are any worries we are "too open" of course.

Cam the Ram Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Carson Wisdom Keogh Davies Forsyth/Olsson Huddlestone Johnson Weimann Palmer Lawrence Vydra Genuinely don't have a clue who I'd pick to start at left back, Olsson would have me terrified of Cash making a mockery of him and Forsyth offers very little going forward. And it's not ideal playing Vydra up front, but Jerome and Nugent have been so poor of late that he can't do much worse. Hopefully Palmer and Vydra could cause the Forest defence some problems with their direct approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point , think for all his critics though that Lawrence has come into a bit more last couple of games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll definitely need help up against him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Ram Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Carson Wisdom Keogh Davies Forsyth Huddlestone Johnson Weimann Vydra Palmer Jerome Rowett said Johnson had a good game, apart from the obvious slip up and I think Rowett quite likes Johnson. He’s physical and has a bit more about him going forward than the others. Let Johnson bomb on a bit, he can offer us something in the attacking game too. This team can’t play football on the ground well, you may as well embrace that and have Johnson in the team for his physicality. Get Palmer and Vydra on the pitch together, Lawrence has had a chance to build on his form post-Reading and simply hasn’t. Weimann is one of our only outballs down the right, he’s actually sort of undroppable, particularly as he’s scoring. Go there, be physical in a local derby and grab a morale boosting win. Kick start the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnero Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Given Huddlestone is struggling with a thigh injury, we may need to increase the midfield numbers if we're to prevent being over-run. Hard hat on... Carson Wisdom Keogh Davies Forsyth Hanson THudd Johnson Weimann Vydra Palmer GULP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
