DCFC1388 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 A lot has been made of the starting 11 vs Forest and players being rested and then our first 11 churn out todays performance. So what would be everyones starting 11 when we have a fit team to choose from? Mine would be 433, could also be 4231 :- Roos - Bogle Keogh Clarke Lowe - Holmes Bielik Shinnie - Waghorn Marriott Lawrence Imo that centre mid has a better balance to it, others may disagree. Can pick a pretty strong bench then from - Hamer Evans Davies Malone Huddlestone Dowell Knight Jozefzoon Paterson Bennett + Wisdom & Forsyth eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marriot Ram99 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 4231 to give us a defensive foundation to build on: Hamer Bogle Keogh Clarke Lowe Bielik Shinnie Waghorn/Lawson Holmes/Lawrence as the 10 Paterson/Jozefoon Marriott/Martin As long as Dowell and huddlestone don't play I will be happy. I would rather Holmes play than Lawrence, but as a 10 I think Lawrence could be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 When everyone is fit........ Roos bogle. Keogh. Bielik. Buchanan Mitch-lawson. Holmes. Knight. Cocu Waghorn. Marriott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posh Ram Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I think something like: Roos Bogle/Keogh/Clarke/Lowe Bielik Knight/Holmes Waghorn/Marriott/Lawrence Bench: Hamer, Davies, Malone, Shinnie, Paterson, Jozefzoon, Bennett I don’t want to see Huddlestone or Dowell play again for a couple of weeks, not ready for that kind of trauma again.

Reverend Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 It doesn't matter which 11 you pick. I can't find a good side. I can't see that bringing Shinnie is going to make Lawrence play well or Waghorn hold the ball up. Buchanan is out of his depth (needs to go out on loan). Whilst Holmes is a decent player he hasn't exactly been prolific so far. I really hope I'm wrong but this is going to be a relegation struggle this year. We have far too many players that are simply not good enough who are in the first team - Lawrence, Roos, Waghorn, Huddlestone, Dowell, Buchanan (who may come good but not in this team), Malone The squad needs a thorough overhaul and that's going to take some time. I'm not sure Cocu is up to it. WHen you get players having a go at the supporters you are on the wrong road, it is very difficult to turn things round and it is obvious there is unrest with the players. I can't see a playing style or direction he's going in. THese last 2 games have been a disaster - very worrying times for DCFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 4231 because I don't trust 1 DM to do the job properly. Roos , Bogle/Lowe , Keogh, Clarke , Lowe/Malone , Bielik, Evans, Waghorn, Holmes, Paterson, Marriott. Martin and Shinnie would make the bench Dowell and Huddlestone would make the tea. No place for Lawrence until the EFL starts giving points for dribbles that are boring. I'd go so far as to say that I would make all 3 watch endless videos of Savage, Cywka and Paul Green so that each could learn a thing or two.

EulogyForEvolution Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Roos Keogh Bielik Clarke Bogle Lowe Shinnie Holmes Lawrence Waghorn Marriott Hamer, Davies, Malone, Dowell, Bennett, Zoon, Martin Why the duck Martin isn't making the bench I will just never know! What has he done to previous managers here. He isn't the player he was but at least he's an experienced striker...we don't have any others until Rooney gets here. Shinnie must be sat there thinking why the duck did I bother coming here. He CANNOT be any worse than what we have in the middle of the park. We are so lightweight in midfield, it makes me question the decision to get rid of Johnno - at least he could play the position and gave us a bit of strength there. What a gamble it was to send those experienced players away and hope for the best with kids who don't have 10 league games between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramarena Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Midfield, midfield, midfield....I’m sick of banging on about it these days. It took Lampard a significant amount of time to work out that midfield balance is of paramount importance in this division. It wasn’t until he got Johnson back in the side did we start to improve last year, this was aided further by the return of Mount afterwards. My one worry about Cocu has been will he understand the tactical makeup of this division. Sadly my fears are being realised........you can’t go to a Brentford team that keep possession well and have good movement and expect to get anything other than your Harris handed back to you when you play a midfield containing Dowell and Hudds! Now I understand he doesn’t want to bring Beilik into midfield yet........fine but you could still play Hudds, Shinnie and Knight, or you could alter the formation with a 5-3-2 allowing Beilik to step into midfield when needed without suffering as much defensively. Time to get your midfield thinking cap on Mr Cocu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Well what do all these formations actually mean ? Well for us 433 means 2 full backs to far up the pitch and 1 or 2 of the so called 3 up front totally not involved leaving 1 guy wondering why the ball never gets near him up front with a huge hole in midfield we need to be more solid especially without the ball whilst giving opponents something to worry about up front currently the best we have probably means a solid and competitive 442 maybe like this Roos bogle keogh Clarke Malone bennett Belick Shinnie Waghorn Martin Marriott sure we can mess around with the wide midfielders but we need real competitive players in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 We’re crying out for a Hughes. Huddlestone is lost as a #8 and can’t defend or control games as a #6. Evans needs to start if it’s still to be a midfield two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowe Lawrence Waghorn Marriott Never been overly keen on 3 at the back but think it could surprisingly suit the balance of the dogs dinner of a midfield we have and giving Bogle and Lowe more freedom to attack/add width. Put Wisdom in instead of Davies to give that back three some pace (random I know). more conventionally Id go for the diamond: Roos/Hamer Bogle Keogh Clarke. Lowe Beilik Knight Shinnie Lawrence Waghorn Marriott Oh and Rooney for Lawrence in Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
