Sham67 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Westwood Palmer Lees Hutch Pudil Reach Lee Abdi FF Fletcher Joao Going forward our first choice midfield 4 will be Reach, Jones, Abdi and FF (if his head's in the right place).

spike1867 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Does anybody think that putting FF down the right would be a mistake as some have suggested. Seems like he's being shoe horned in if we play him there. One of his best attributes is cutting in onto the RB weaker foot. Personally I don't see him getting round the back on the right. An average full back will just close the space to the touchline and force FF on to his weaker foot. I would like to see him compete with Reach for the left side slot and whoever wins that little tussle means we have a very good asset on the left.

Holmowl Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 I said I would collate the results, and here they are. The 442 team for Wigan picked by the Owlstalk Selection Committee (God forbid):- Westwood Palmer Lees Hutch Pudil Lee Abdi Bannan Reach Forestieri Fletcher Defence and attack were quite clear. Abdi and Reach were shoe-ins in midfield but Abdi's CM partner and RW were totally split. RB - Palmer 17, Hunt 13, Lee 5 LB - Pudil 29, Reach 6 CB - Lees 35, Hutch 27, Loovens 6 RW - Lee 9, Buckley 8, Bannan 7, FF 5, Wallace 3 LW - Reach 23, FF 11 CM - Abdi 26, Lee 18, Bannan 17, Hutch 3 CF - Fletcher 32, FF 16, Hooper 11, Joao 8 Some really interesting points emerge imo. 1. Unanimously no-one wants Abdi left. 2. Conclusively Abdi first choice central. 3. Tom Lees (and of course Westy) easily fans first pick. 4. Fletcher big fans favourite 5. Wallace has lost fan confidence 6. First choice CM pick very divided 7. I need to find a new hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I feel that basically our fans, off the back of a couple of bad results, and because football fans are basically fickle- they just want Abdi in the centre and Reach at LM based on that they are new and different.. But it would be more sensible in my opinion to keep the core of the team from last year and let the new recruits blend in gradually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reach at LB and RW. Lee at RB and RW. FF at RW. Bannan at RW and LW. It will get even more fun when Jones is available. I don't imagine Lee or Reach will play full back, so FIVE of the following quality players will be benched: Fletcher Hooper Joao Buckley Wallace FF Reach Bannan Lee Abdi Jones Its not surprising fans and Carlos are tempted to try to fit players into strange roles.
