ramit Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Holmes is the man for the position until Bogle is fit. Has already shown he is capable in that role. Would feel comfortable playing him in most positions apart from left back and GK obviously. A very good all round footballer, one of Frank's best signings and coming into fitness now that we need him most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The midfield is the weakness, fully agree with that. If we bring Clarke back and move Bielik forward to CDM, it can be a 5 off the ball and 3 on, to be fair, with the fullbacks bombing on Getting Bogle back should be a massive boost, he's arguably one of our best offensive outlets- 2 goals and 8 assists last season from Rb proves that. If we can get Lowe doing the same on the left and stabilise the spine of the team, we should hopefully see some progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a CB to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheikh n Bake Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Called this in the match thread against Stoke and got shot down for it. Playing a left footer at RB just doesn't work. Nothing against Lowe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical 352 just has normal wide midfielders Teams are already exploiting our weakness of stopping crosses so I'd have fullbacks in the system just to give us defensive balance on the flanks. In the system I was on about, when we're not in possession, Bielik drops back to augment the 4 into a 5, and then off the ball, steps up into midfield again.

Using wing backs up and down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an interview, I think Cocu said something along the lines that is what he hoped; he didn't categorically state that it would be definite.

Sparkle Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Lowe has been doing ok, when Bogle is fit he will start again at right back and as for Max lowe I would seriously be considering him as a wide left midfielder in a proper 442 which I believe he is more than capable of doing leaving malone at left back as they could easily interchange their roles ( both have been left out to dry by having Lawrence in front of them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been saying for an age that we are a team of individuals rather than a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence having a shot wide of the keepers left post in the second-half (instead of passing to an unmarked Marriott) being a good example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
