Stedcfc Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 What formation would people like to see us play next year? I was a big fan of the 4-2-3-1 we played but we seemed to give up on it. If bailey was to stay I think him Hendrick deep with Jacobs Bryson and ward as the 3 could work. Theo has the pace and movement to cause problems up top in his own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I would like to see 4-3-2-1 again if we had players that would compliment the formation but we just don't have them. From the squad we have at the moment a solid 4-4-2 seems best again but this year with a proper winger on the right. Pace on the wings and up top now. I still think Ben Davies will have a part to play though. I personally like 5-3-2 with the fullbacks operating as wingbacks, getting far forward up the pitch. Jordi Alba and Arbeloa style.

North_Stand_Ram Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 4231 sounds alright Fielding Brayford Buxton Shackell (hopefully) Roberts (New LB maybe) Hendrick Bryson Jacobs Theo Ward New ST or Ball Lol who are we kidding. 451 at home against Barnsley.

Ambitious Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I expect a rigid 4-4-2, balanced and organised, no thrills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stedcfc Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 I really think 4-2-3-1 would suit ward as he would have a lot of space to work with in between the defence and midfield. Would also bring bailey back into the mix. I think will Hughes and mason Bennett would suit the 3 nicely too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 442 Jacobs left, Bavies right, theo and ward upfront? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 If we don't get a good striker, then I think we should try the 4-3-2-1 going forward, 4-5-1 defending. Fielding Brayford Buxton/OB Shackell Roberts Hughes Hendrick Bryson Jacobs Ward Robinson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fielding Brayford Buxton/OB Shackell Roberts Hughes Hendrick Bryson Jacobs Ward Robinson. Just to let you know, Jacobs isn't a right winger. Also Hughes won't play cm. He'll be on the right wing cutting in or playing just behind the forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
networker1884 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 A simple 4-4-2. Can't see Robinson on his own up front. If we actually see any signings before the start of the season then I'll happily change. But atm I'm looking at a familiar team to last season, which is a little depressing. That said I do believe most of our squad can improve, so maybe the same players could bring us a little success this season? Anyway... Fielding Brayford - Buxton - Shackell - Roberts Hendrick - Bryson Hughes/Jacobs Ward/Hughes Robinson - Ball Subs: Legzkins, Obrien, Naylor, Hughes, Davies, Bennett, Bailey.

He'll be on the right wing cutting in or playing just behind the forward. Just to let you know, Cloughie said Jacobs can play on either wings, and if you look at where Hughes is, he's playing a RCM role, which will be sort of on the right, chopping in.

BOB BIGGS Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 4-6-0 Fielding Roberts Shackell Buxton Brayford Ward Hughes Hendrick Bryson B Davies Jacobs I like that.. 6 forwards. I'd probably find a place for Robinson in my 6 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I hope anything but 442. 442 is for two styles. Hoofball or really good wingers and a target man partnering a runner up front. We don't have the wingers or the aerial threat. To play a passing game with 442 is like trying to have sex on a push bike. So either we sign the neccesary players for 442 or this bunch are more suited to another system. We were doing as well with 4231 as anything since Nigel arrived. It was a mistake to change. Results didn't get any better when we switched to 442 survival mode anyway. We got beat just as often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes is still too lightweight and not very good at tackling. For now he'll just be a winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 4-6-0 Fielding Roberts Shackell Buxton Brayford Ward Hughes Hendrick Bryson B Davies Jacobs I'd go with that for the first hour then throw Mason and Theo on just as the game starts to open up and the opposition are tiring. Promoted by the end of February, champions by easter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
