DCFC1388 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 4231 - Marshall - Byrne Wisdom Clarke Forsyth - Rooney Bird - Knight Sibley Jozwiak - Marriott Roos Davies Buchanan Shinnie Brown Whittaker Not sure on final bench position, either Evans or a youngster like Shonibare, Ibrahim or JHI if he is fit. Whittaker again our only attacking option on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeedsCityRam Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Couple of fairly contentious changes from me. Firstly, feel Wisdom has struggled in his first couple of matches...I'd go for Evans in place of Te Wierik instead. Secondly, I'd take Sibley out of the starting XI...he looks a bit jaded to me. Rooney should start but would like him at number 10, looking to hold the ball & linking the play with pacey lads around him. Hopefully, attention on Jozwiak & Rooney will give Whittaker space to make an impact also. Think would be unfair for Knight to be dropped after Tuesday so would play him in his favoured central position. Bird definitely back in also.

Honestly think Rooney has looked a bit lost when he's played at #10 for us so far. Mariott has been largely unimpactful and I don't think a deep role like that suits Knight. Also whilst I agree about Wisdom I think I'd opt for him over Evans still. With that line up I think you'd want to swap Knight and Rooney positionally. But personally I'd go for: Marshall Byrne Wisdom Clarke Buchanan Bird Sibley Knight Whittaker Rooney Jozwiak I think that until we get more attacking players signed/uninjured I think we should move away from 4231. I'm not sure they are ready for it but I think that Bird, Sibley, Knight have all the attributes to play as a 3 together and the energy of Sibley and Knight should make up for the static Rooney.

Fair comment about Rooney at number 10 to date. That said, he hasn't played the role that often for us & Tuesday was his first 90 mins since early August - I feel it is a role he could definitely offer value in given time. That said, he will also need some quality into his feet as he won't be chasing much. Without him there, I don't feel Marriott is likely to be at all effective & as he's our only genuine striker, I think needs to play. Also think Knight is capable of playing alongside Bird. He's capable of retaining possession, tenacious & can get around the pitch (and an ideal blend to Bird) - also good cover for marauding full backs. Yes, he'd be better suited as a box to box midfielder in a 4-3-3 but not sure the front 3 are strong enough to go to that formation - it places a lot of onus on Rooney as a CF & frankly, I'm not sure he can play that role. Number 10 would be different as he could pick space in front of the centre halves, whilst Marriott threatens in behind & pressurises them with workrate.

Marriott isn’t suited by a role as lone striker. I think Rooney could help him if they played closer together. Bird, Sibley and Knight as a midfield would get bullied. We need Shinnie to start.

ScamRam Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 No mention on here yet that Marriott is a former POTS at Luton and Curtis Davies started his career at Luton. Ex players always seem to score against us so hope it works for us! And @Ellafella also mentioned that the Shinnie brothers will come up against each other again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving away fouls is no not the same as stamping your mark on the midfield. They are young and it will come but they still need to be able to use their bodies to keep possession of the ball. The whole team will look better when we re-find our passing game. When we do, Knight and Sibley 's games will flourish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
