JustOneBiblicalKazim Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I’ve wanted to see Lawrence be given a go as a 9 for a while now, it only ever seems to happen when we need someone to press whilst we see a game out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so, they were really poor games from memory because Wales try to shoehorn all of their decent players into the attacking areas so they all get in each others way and become quite ineffective.

Yes. Sibley v Lawrence for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramslaar Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 8 hours ago, Jimbo Ram said: I think that is where he will need to play as I think the Rooney/Bird partnership in midfield is just too slow and immobile ? I agree mate if bielik is fit I think rooney will even play even less this season to concentrate on the coaching side.bird will captain the side and I think you may even see bird played slightly more forward than bielik.max has a great eye for a pass and I think it will be used.rooney will play either up top or rotate with sibley.

rynny Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 13 hours ago, Marriott Ram99 said: I can't see us playing 5 ATB for 3 reasons 1. Lawrence is one of our key players and highest earners and wouldn't fit in to a 532 or 5212 as he wouldn't play striker or CM or start over Sibley behind the stikers. 2. We have a lot of midfielders and a lot of holding ones like Shinnie ,Bielik and Bird and 5ATB doesn't utilise them properly. 3. Bogle is good enough to play as wing back but none of our left backs can be relied upon to have the attacking ability to carry the left hand side of our attack and unlock defences with quality play which you need when you play without wingers. We will play a 4231 with something like this: Marshall Bogle Ter Wierik Clarke/Panzo Lowe/Panzo Rooney Bird New Sibley Lawrence Waghorn One way it could work is more of a 5-4-1. Marshall Wisdom Te Wierik Clarke Bogle Lowe Rooney Bird Sibley Lawrence Waghorn With that front 3 they would all be able to swap positions during the game. Or even change to Waggy and Lawrence up front and Sibley just behind. Add in Marriott, Holmes, Bielik, Shinnie, Fozzy etc when rotating/as needed.

There would be so much sideways and backwards football it would be painful. The fans would complain within 45 minutes. You are in essence taking a front three player from last year and putting a defender on the pitch. Our full backs already could attack, no need to convert them to wing backs. Imagine, Rooney drops deep to get the ball and he has two centre backs one side of him and the other centre back the other side. Bird will be 20 feet diagonally away from him. It would be horrendous. I desperately want to keep attacking players on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd look at it as giving added cover without the ball and more attacking threat with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Derby have found most success in recent years by passing the ball quickly and skilfully to create chances. In order to do that, you need technically-proficient players throughout your team. Picking five defenders is like admitting you are nervous with four. I want us to have a midfield and forwards whose attitude is ‘we can score more than you’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
