Crewton Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 24 minutes ago, May Contain Nuts said: Strike up another example of people being so quick to dispel any potential criticism of Warne that they jump in to defend him when there isn't even a criticism being made! You're applying motives to my post that simply weren't there. If anything I was going to say, that perhaps this shows why our performances still look so disjointed most of the time. However, if you absolutely insist that we've had a consistent starting eleven it removes that as an excuse and makes our lack of cohesion worse. Well, if you'd made your motives a bit clearer I wouldn't have misinterpreted them 😉 May Contain Nuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeTownRams Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 1 hour ago, Crewton said: Now do the same analysis taking into account injuries. Below is a table showing how many players each team had used up to matchday 31. You can see DCFC are in the lower quartile. At the end of last year, Wildsmith, Nyambe, Nelson, Cashin, Fozzy, Bird, Hourihane, NML and Collins had played in pretty much every league game for which they'd been fit and available. That's what they mean by a consistent starting XI. If you really expected Warne to pick the same starting XI every game in this league I think you're being wildly unrealistic. Interesting that most if not all of the top teams (bar Barnsley) are in the bottom half of this table though….seems to suggest consistency of team selection generally works… RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jourdan Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Depending on injuries and fitness: Wildsmith Nyambe Nelson Cashin Wilson Adams Bird Elder NML Collins CBT If we are going to persist with three at the back, I prefer a 3-4-3 to give us more threat and more spark. 3-5-2 can work, but it tends to be a more cautious version when we adopt it.

I think that’s our strongest eleven if they’re fit. Could just as easily be 4-4-2. Would Warne be brave enough? 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimmu Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Quick comment about Exeter's goalkeeper Sinisalo. He is on loan from Aston Villa, who have very high hopes for him. And not only them, he's been around the Finnish international team as a 3rd choice for a while now as he is expected to be the next first choice for years to come when Leverkusen's Hradecky retires. He is tall and excellent at stopping shots and penalties, and according to xG, he has prevented more goals than any other goalkeeper in the PL, Championship, L1, or L2 this season. 𝟳.𝟵 — 𝗩𝗶𝗹𝗷𝗮𝗺𝗶 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗼 7.4 — Corey Addai 6.4 — Paul Farman 6.3 — Mads Hermansen They have another Finnish player, Niskanen, a wing-back with an engine that might overrun Jason Knight's one. Excellent when defending but not much of a footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would Warne be brave enough? 🤞 I think in ordinary circumstances he might. At the moment, it feels like he is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t. We are in a tight race for top 2 and dropped points of any kind aren’t well received and could be difference making. I would like to see him go for it and be adventurous but I do suspect given Exeter’s form and what’s at stake, we might see a safety first approach.

Niskanen is horrible even though he can run forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DE56Ram Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Is it 4-3-3 or 4-3-2-1 ? Either way I really like the look of it too 🐏⚽️👍 Caerphilly Ram, Rich3478 and Comrade 86 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyambe is a miss but Wilson did an ok job deputising in some games in Jan. if Elder shows the form he was hinting at before his knock and CBT/NML are at it we could have a solid base at the back and options going forward…. 🤞 Strap in for more hoofball folks 😜 Crewton and Comrade 86 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich3478 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Would imagine will be 4231 myself wildsmith wilson, Nelson, cashin, elder adams, hourihane mendez, bird, Blackett Taylor Collins pretty adaptable to 433 like others mentioned though. like the look of this team. Feels one of our strongest. DCFC1388 and Caerphilly Ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Could be 4231 or 433, having Adams in there means Hourihane can be more advanced although he did end up dropping deep on Sat with Adams moving forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavesaRam Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 That looks quite positive. Let's hope he has given permission to play football to the player's strengths. GO FOR IT YOU RAMS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
