striker Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I've stated on a few threads that the players coming in seem to suggest a shift away from 442, especially with the lack of recognised wingers, maybe a 433 or variation of 451? .............................................Weaver Buxton.....................Batth..................R.Jones......................Bennett .....................Lines...............Prutton................Semedo .............JJ.................................................................O'Grady ............................................Madine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stereophonics Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Based on form, Sedgwick needs to be in the side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two DM's behind and AM for sure IMO. This was the impression Megson gave during his interviews in pre season.

Proper Megson line up, teams will have playing against us with that many big lads in the team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the signing of Uchechi, & assuming Clinton Morrison stays, that's our 4 strikers sorted then. Always rated Chris Lines to be honest, although most of the time I've seen him play it's been out wide-mid, but not as your usual winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
since59owe Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 They'll be fun & games a plenty this season IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Just got in . I'm assuming we haven't brought in Lines as back up so I reckon the system suggested will be about right. I confess I don't know much about Lines, is he a Koumas type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davethemagicweasel Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Think Lines has played wide in the past, and so far our widemen have had licence to come inside so he couldfit there. Generally tho I think Megson wants options - a squad capable of switching between 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1. Always useful to have a plan b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TonyOwl88 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I think Megson wants the options and capability to change formations.... but I think ultimately he wants a 4-4-2 at home at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiseowl91 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 The fact that we are pretty much prepared for the option of 433 and 451 excites me so much more than just a straight forward 442.....even with Irvines coaching badges we were never prepared for this type of style of play! Megson is choosing this as an offensive style as aposed to a negative style. Believe in M&M! The future's bright....the future's blue & white.
