Chester at right back?

Or is he trying to play 3-5-2?

Or is it 3-4-3?

In reality it will likely be a mixture of all of them at different points in the game and passages of play. But I presume the basic setup is

Wildsmith

Chester      Davies       Cashin

Knight     Sibley    Bird     Hourihane     Roberts

Barkhuizen   McGoldrick

I hope whatever it is we end up with a solid platform at the back and some attacking intent moving forward. If it’s a back 3, Knight and Roberts can help out in midfield and in attack, it does leave us potentially even more short of pace at the back but the experience of Davies and Chester should help counter that a little. Come on you rams ?

Think it’ll be 4-3-3 with Chester at right back. Bird holding for Knight and Hourihane, Sibley out wide.

Since LR’s comments regarding going for RBs and missing out to Championship clubs, I’ve thought Knight being played there was a temporary stop-gap rather than a proper choice.

Oduroh clearly isn’t considered to be ready just yet, and we’ve had CB injuries which haven’t given us much choice. Chester has played RB before and in his first available game it looks like he’s slotting straight in there.

Hopefully a tweaked system with more round pegs sees things pick up a bit.

I’m expecting it’ll be 

                   Wildsmith 

Chester  Davies    Cashin  Roberts

Knight     Bird     Hourihane    Barks
           
                     Sibley

                McGoldrick

 

if not that then 3 at the back

Not far off this, but the AM 3 could be any of these:

Knight Sibley Barkhuizen

Barkhuizen Sibley Knight

Barkhuizen Knight Sibley

 

I'm betting on Knight in the middle, and he'll sit a bit deeper (level with Hourihane)

If we are staying with a 4231 and putting Chester at RB. I'm not convinced it materially solves anything and probably makes us weaker. Its a very flat back 4. 

Personally would set up as the following with that set of players. 

                      Wildsmith 

           Chester Davies Cashin 

Barkhuizen Knight Bird Hourihane Roberts 

                       Sibley

                       McGoldrick

 

I worry this is a "throwing things at the wall to see what sticks line up". Hope I'm wrong.

Dobbin picking up a knock somewhat forced this selection. If Knight started at RB, it would have meant Mendez-Laing and Barkhuizen would play the full 90.

It also means we have a stronger bench to use later on in the game.

What was the point in signing Oduroh? Chester at RB? Strange. Hope I’m 10000% wrong though!
