Steve How Hard? Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 The call when the 4 man committee were appointed was to simplify things. However at the first sign of trouble we seem to shuffle the pack like a croupier with Parkinsons disease. Hopefully we'll have a game plan today and have the conviction to stick to it.

The intention would have a very fluid front 3 and midfield 2 behind them. Davies and Shinnie both deserve to play and would be leaders on the pitch. Shoehorning Sibley into the team a little, but at least he starts and this might end up as a sort of 4-1-3-2 formation with him more central. Evans...really ?

Chester40 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 What is clear to me is that every suggested team looks better and more balanced without Rooney... Which is worrying because I dont want him as manager. I'm staggered how much of a drop off there has been in his performances since lockdown...he just looked so immobile. Feel much happier with the options now, still clear we are woefully short of a striker. Need goals from midfield /wide as no way have we got a 15-20 goal a season man currently.

The Rooney interview where he talks about being in charge and deciding who plays and who doesn't, he also (pointedly?) said decides substitutes as well.

i-Ram Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Jesus. The state of that team. Even against bloody Wycombe I can’t see us scoring today. We are going to League 1 aren't we. Rooney is clueless. Get him out of the club. Mel too. We need Mac organising this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Ibe is fit we have him, Lawrence, Waghorn and Keith to rotate at will like we used to with Russell, ward, etc It actually shapes up quite nicely when you put the wingers and midfielder together........we just lack the striker but maybe two mentioned can do a decent enough job till Jan Yeah, I think Waghorn would be much better out on the wing or midfield in general. He’s a scrapper, he works hard, he has many qualities that are suited for the midfield and very few qualities as a forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans has put very very good performances in at centre back which people have raved about. He adds to the fluidity of this team and its ability to move forward quickly. However, I realize I forgot Bielik ? so would probably play him there instead. Waghorn is the toughest call,but if Kazim-Richards is the answer we're asking the wrong question. I'm not convinced Whittaker or Stretton, who will both be on the bench, can lead the line for the whole game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, it's not really a fair comparison, I mean Forsyth has only played a couple of games hasn't he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can fill in upfront for a couple of games when we are in form and do a decent job like he did last season. But as you say he’s not a natural striker so when we’re out of form he’s always going to struggle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
