IslandExile Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 If we hear that Rotherham have gone three down in the first 10 minutes, we'll only need a draw, right? 0-0 will be enough. So, we just keep the ball by passing it across the back 4, or 3, 5 whatever number he picks this week, maybe back to the goalie every now and then. But just keep cycling the ball. Sound. Safe as houses. What could possibly go wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I was joking but given the lack of "HaHa" emojis, maybe people thought I was serious. Or maybe things are just not funny at the moment. ollycutts1982 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean (hick) Saunders Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Play the same team as last time, but make them have a bit more backbone if things go against them. SWed played 5 at the back vs Forest, do we think they will do the same vs us? This will tend to make it a tight game with us passing it around in front of their massed ranks. Having both CKR and Waghorn up top then may give us best chance when crossing etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuffLuff Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I’d be tempted to go with a more maverick route of going three in midfield and putting an experienced Forsyth into the DM role. Three reasons, 1) stop Bannan 2) protective cover for the back four 3) let Shinnie and Knight/Bird to push more forward and effect play in the opposition half. Also I can’t see the point in playing a CAM at the moment who just tends to find themselves not close enough to the midfield or CKR. Get the ball to CKR and let Shinnie and Knight attack from deep imo. Marshall or Roos Byrne (if not out) Edmun. Clarke Buchanan Forsyth Knight. Shinnie Joz.

Alty_Ram Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Surely we have to try to be energetic and positive for once. If we sit and wait for them to score then it is pretty much inevitable that it will happen and our record of chasing games if woeful. We can't seem to defend so keep the ball further up the pitch whenever possible. Front foot - positive but not suicidal. Lets try and play with some tempo and try to seize the day/game not desperately try to hang on for a point from the first kick and hope that Rotherham don't win. Wednesday are not in outstanding form either so lets not treat them like this is a Champions League away leg at Real Madrid.

robglosta Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I pray to God part of the tactics this week is Lawrence working on his defensive duties. We also simply cannot be giving away so many silly fouls or tracking runners as badly as we have in recent weeks/months or it will feed directly into Wednesday's hands.

Van der MoodHoover Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I would advocate a pressing 4-3-3, which is intended to keep the ball away from our box and look to score a goal. Most important - if we score, do one of 2 things - keep the high press - put more defenders on and change shape to maybe a 5-3-2, with 2 dms in the 3. Which option will depend on how long to go when we score. Oh, and if the opp make changes, you will have 5 mins max in which to react.....

Not ideal for pressing. Joz and Roberts are most likely to cause problems in attack but if you play them both you need Knight to support Shinnie when moves break down. plymouthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
