sage Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Not wishing to sound too Orwellian, but has all our wingers/wide forwards are in poor form and our full backs have been consistently good, why not start with wing backs most games. Play Gregory and CKT as Byrne and Buchanan generally cross the ball better than Jozwiak, Roberts and Waghorn. We also have enough CBs to play the system now.

Mr Tibbs Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 CKR, Gregory, Knight, Shinnie and Bird at CDM? Byrne and Bucc the only creative players? I mean it might work and get us out of this mess but you're literally relying on Knight to create space for the whole team. Depends how conservative we want to be, I think there's good enough players available to be a bit more outgoing than that. I don't even think the wingers are that bad. In the final 20 minutes last night Byrne had the opportunity to put in those delicious deliveries because of Joz's good work. I don't know if its as simple as don't play the wingers and the fullbacks will still do the job. Wazza seems to be approaching it by our opposition so we may see this a few times with 442/433 thrown in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem is we only have one genuine winger in Joswiak. All our other wide players, Waggers, Lawrence and Roberts, Sibley too, aren’t wingers in the true sense. We should have brought in a traditional, genuine winger instead of Roberts. Agree that our current squad, with two decent attacking full backs is suited to 3 at the back but is that a bit defensive, especially at home? Can see your point though.

Would you play CKR and Gregory upfront in that formation? Who would your central 3 be? We do lack creativity. Maybe Shinnie holding with Knight and Sibley behind the front two?

We are basically shirt if a Will Hughes, Bielik, Bannan but I think Macdonald would be better than Waghorn. Jozwiack needs to pass the ball rather than run into a melee. Ince used to run into a melee but took a couple of players out of the game. Roberts cut inside every time so he might as play one twos with Byrne for Nathan to cross it.

Jozwiak or Roberts could play ahead of a midfield 2 late on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
