Phuket Ram Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 If by major part, you mean passing it to Huddlestone, then yes - I saw that. Don't get me wrong, I love his work-rate, but I'd swap that all day long for end product and/or the ability to put in a quality ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davies in particular had one of the most dominant defensive performances I've witnessed this season last night. I agree about Vydra though. I thought Davies was excellent and am in agreement with your assessment with the exception of the first 5 minutes of the second half where all our defenders came out asleep and Fulham should have scored 1 and possibly 2 without having to play great football. Keogh has been a fantastic servant of the club but I don’t think they would improve Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vydra was pretty ineffective in this role We will spend a long time at Fulham without the ball also and tracking the wingers Yes Vydra's performance on Friday vindicated Rowetts preference to use him as an impact sub. Doubt Vydra will be happy about it. Be intriguing to see what happens if other clubs show interest in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed his final pass isn't his greatest asset but he's the best we have at pressurising defenders and keepers into making hurried clearances, which in turn spurs the crowd into more vocal support. His energy levels are second to none - oh, did you miss the major part he played leading up to the goal? I agree, mate. Weimann is one of those players who makes things happen, he may not score alot himself, or even get all the assist's, but his pace means he can pull people out of formation, he definitely panics defences and starts things off. Its exciting when he's galloping down the sidelines, anything can happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archied Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 It’s kind of interesting this thread in terms of there appears to be a growing trust in rowett picking the team , there’s less wtf is he thinking (myself included on the vydra/Palmer ones).

Doodle Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I think he must play Vydra again. For 3 reasons, firstly even if he has a quiet game he attracts defenders giving others more space. Secondly it gives the team a great balance of attacking and defensive ability. Lastly, chances are going to be limited tonight. If there’s one bloke in this league who I would want on the end of chance from the edge of the box, it’s Vydra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vydra will always be ineffective in the the formation used on Friday, it’s a horrible negative formation that doesn’t suit his style of play at all. Seems strange that you set your team up that doesn’t utilise your top scorers strengths. Time will tell if he is right or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard246 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 vydra on the bench tonight I think. Anya in on the left to stop Fredricks. Rams draw 1-1 for me Wembley here we come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie20 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Don't think we can start with Vydra. His defensive work in the first leg was non-existent and I can see Fulham carrying even more of a threat in our half than was the case on Friday so shore things up even more in midfield. Anya to LWB, moving Weimann further forward. Having said what I would do, Vydra will start, score an early goal out of nothing and the pressure and nervousness will just evaporate.

Could be not do a straight swap...Palmer for Vyds ? I like Weimann in that WB possession. I've seen enough of Palmer to know that he is clever and good enough to keep the ball.

Not when you set yourself up to prevent a team that has scored in every single game since mid-December from scoring in your goal, and in the process win the game. Seems to make perfect sense to me. Tactically Rowett got it absolutely spot on on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has used this system though for several games now though and my post was more around Vydra and his effectiveness or lack of it, not so much Fridays result.

It will be an interesting selection tonight, I tend to agree that dropping Vydra to the bench, Weimann back to wide right and Anya as LWB would seem logical. I know dropping your top scorer doesn't sound logical, its just in the improved "team formation" I don't think Vydra contributes enough. Also, if the formation doesn't seem to be working out, he would be a strong sub. Anya each time I see him, seems to put in a great shift, makes things happen, there must be a reason Rowett doesn't give him more game time, I'm just buggered if I know why?

We've based our whole season on setting the team up to get the best out of Vydra, now you're saying that the system doesn't suit him? He can't score when he's played as a striker, so I'd love to know what you think his best position is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
