DCFC Kicks Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) I'd prefer the 3 at the back with our current players. Our weakness is LB/LWB and striker Edited August 30 by DCFC Kicks Ram1988 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eoghan1884 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Decent squad to choose from now, I’d imagine after the international break we might go for a 3-4-3 system again. that with quality off the bench could be a great balance. Magicman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mckram Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Am I right in thinking we have 26 players to register now with only 25 spaces? Also includes removing u21s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second option is I think close to what we will go with. Not a lot of balance or quality on the left. NML and Jackson for the same RW spot. Harness can become a 10 with Yates or Jackson/NML playing the two strikers. Chirewa can compete with Harness for the 10/LW spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWZ Nyambe Nelson Philips Elder Adams Osborn Jackson Goudmijn Harkness Yates I agree 100% I also feel thus is our strongest 11 at the moment. We then have the likes of NML and Adams to come on and try and make a difference in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Harness & Chirewa have both come in & can play in the 10 so its upto them to provide that creativity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 If we go with a back 4 - JWZ - Nyambe Nelson Phillips Elder - Goudmijn Adams Osborn - Jackson Yates Harness Or if we decide to go with a back 3 - JWZ - Nelson Phillips Cashin - Wilson Adams Goudmijn Osborn - Harness Jackson - Yates I think we may be in a position that Warne wanted whereby NML & Cashin are actually sat on the bench so despite what some may think about our transfers, we have improved on our starting 11. To then have the rest of the squad as (based off the back 4 starting 11 above) - Vickers Luthra Cashin Bradley Forsyth Rooney Wilson Ward Ozoh Thompson Chirewa NML CBT Barkhuizen Collins Brown - I dont think its actually that bad & is capable of staying up in the Champ I havent included Washington as he would be the 26th man currently unless someone else above doesnt count towards the 25 like Rooney & Brown dont, only 2 who might not would be Luthra & Thompson but I am pretty sure they do.

brady1993 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 In signing Phillips I think its a strong chance we shift to a back 3. We've not loaned him to not start him and I don't think we've done it with the view of bumping one of Cashin or Nelson out the first 11. Especially when you consider Warne has wanted to shift to a back 3 from day 1. It's odd though to an extent because whilst the 3 cbs would probably rank in the top 5ish players we have, there is no real depth. Past that it's a bit tricky. We've got 5 centre mids (maybe 6 counting chirewa) and we've got 5 wingers (up to 7 depending on where you count chirewa and ward). Some of those wingers are capable playing at 10 or up front and some are capable playing wing back, Osborn can also play wing back. With all that it feels like we are caught awkwardly between a 4231, 433, 3511 and 343. Especially as the wingers we've got for the most part are out and out wingers rather than inside forwards. So I think we need to focus on how we can create chances and how we can get the most out of Yates. Whilst he isn't tall he can act as a focal point because he's good with the ball to feet, which means we likely need players close to him capable of making quick exchanges and releasing him. We can't play a game of spin it out wide and pump it into the box, it's not going to work. Either we need to use wingbacks/fullback create width and everything else is narrow or we stretch with wingers but invert the wingbacks getting them to come into midfield. I think we've got 3 options: 352 JWZ Phillips Nelson Cashin Ozoh Wilson Kenzo Osborne Elder ? Yates ? here because I think it's likely Holness or Chirewa is the best fit. You need a mobile 10 comfortable drifting in and out of pockets, comfortable drifting out wide and good in possession. Wingbacks here would be looking to get super wide. Does mean leaving out nml as a captain but he doesn't really fit other than maybe playing rwb. It's also possible you move Kenzo more central and focus everything through him. 343 JWZ Phillips Nelson Cashin Wilson Kenzo Ozoh Osborne RF LW Yates RF- again you want someone similarly to the 10 role I laid out in the 3511. Maybe Jackson, maybe Chirewa, maybe Holness. LW - this you'd want someone who's primarily looking to start wider. It'd be NML or Holness most likely. Here the idea would be that Osborn plays narrow and supports the midfield whilst the LW goes wider. 433 JWZ Nyambe Phillips Cashin Elder Adams Kenzo Osborn NML Yates Holness Let NML stay wide and encourage him to cheat a bit defensively. Holness needs to be looking to drift inside with Elder overlapping. Adams here until Ozoh looks a bit more reliable without more defensive cover.

Anag Ram Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I’m struggling to think of our best eleven without leaving out good players. That must be a good sign 😊 JWZ Ward Nyambe Nelson Philips Osborn Adams Ozoh Jackson. Harness Yates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
