SallyCinnamon Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 What i'd like to see: Westwood Hunt Lees Pudil Reach Wallace Jones Bannan Abdi Winnall Hooper Bring Abdi back in the side and play him just behind the two front men, where Hooper kinda played yesterday. He played just behind the Deeney and Vydra for Watford any they were lethal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simaniac Owl Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Swap Wallace for Boyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philb125 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Based on a few games in close succession I think we may see: Westwood Hunt Lees Loovens/Pudil Reach Boyd Abdi Jones Bannan Winall Fletch I think maybe too much for Hooper to play 3 games in a week. If he doesn't play, Abdi has to. I hope we can get Abdi rehabilitated as his creativity may be the key in absence of Lee. I'd like for Winall to keep his spot and think Fletch be keen to make an impression against his old employers. Bannan out wide with Reach - running out of options, that's if FF not back and don't think Wallace be rested enough by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I would like to see a new signing or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) All out attack, with a formation like back in the good ole days. Attack, attack, attack... (Old fashioned 2-3-5 formation) Westwood; Hunt, Pudil; Palmer, Lees, Reach; Bannan, Hooper, Fletcher, Winnall, Boyd. We could try and outscore them in a old fashioned 9 goal thriller Edited August 13, 2017 by Mr. Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to play 3 midfielders but I think this will be the formation for the game with Bannan on the left. Hooper would always be my first choice attacker but I agree he will be rested.

happy bunny Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Abdi just isnt fit enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sMacLean Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Expect it'll be Westwood Hunt Lees Pudil Reach Boyd Bannan Jones Wallace Rhodes Fletcher Rather Winnall started but be typical of Carlos to drop him now, want to see Abdi start too.

LiamK2292 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Westwood - Hunt Lees Pudil Reach - Wallace Jones Bannan Boyd - Winnall Fletcher Can't see Loovens/Hutch making it in time. Whether FF makes the 18 I don't know but if he does I think it'll be on the bench. We need some aerial threat up top and Fletcher gives us that. Rhodes needs to be dropped, he's just not doing it. Winnall deserves to start after yesterday but would be typical if he's left out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls101 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 flipping joke if we have to start pudil at CB. Second season in a row we've had this problem. Once biten twice shy eh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Unless we sign a centre back asap or promote a youth player into the team, the only formation we can play is an old fashioned 2-3-5 or a very early football formation of 1-2-7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Pudil starts at centre back against a very attack minded Sunderland, it could turn into a very embarrassing day, like being smashed by Forest back in the mid 90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pudil and Reach not good enough and playing them together back 4 would leave us vulnerable to say the least (no steel), Jones, come on, what positives does he give (journeyman) Abdi potential season changer but needs game time (not in a weak side) why leave out Fletcher our in form striker but yes Winnall is the next best option.

Along with the negative tactics used ever since Wembley. It's holding this team back and frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19owl08 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I don't see Loovens being fit & really don't want Pudil there. With how things are now I think it's perfect time for O'Grady as the teams performance is under more scrutiny than his will be. Pudil hasnt been great at left back either & Reach can't tackle so it leaves Fox. Despite some fans writing him off I think he's actually decent & in this formation he wouldn't need to attack too much. Second half against QPR we went 4-3-3 & had we had subs too freshen it up I think we'd have won. Very unlikely to happen but that formation is perfect for both Winnall & Forestieri. I'd start with Hooper in between them & have both Fletcher & Rhodes coming on later, a switch to 442 would be best for those two. I would also have put Abdi in the starting lineup maybe instead of Boyd but he's nowhere near match fit. So that's my team... but Carlos will choose something like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trask43 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Our defence looks poor without hutch as a shield and loovens so might as well try and win a game 4-3 for once at least it'll be exciting westwood hunt lees pudil reach jones boyd bannan hooper winnall fletch Got to start fletcher over rhodes particularly against his old team boyd and bannan should have energy to get up and down and compensate for hooper at the top of the diamond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 What I'd like to see against Sunderland is the same as what I would like to have seen at any stage for the last 18 months. This.... However. Given that we have picked up injuries as per usual......... The never ending drama that is Fernando & not knowing if he'll be in the squad....... if it was up to me to pick a team during this chaos I'd go for this. Think it would make the best of a bad situation.. I know though that this simply won't happen. It'll be something like this . ..as it always is.
