Carlos often throws Joao into games that seem random to us. It could catch Huddersfield unawares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Now that Carlos has made it known that FF is struggling with issues, I think we should and we will start several matches without him. Away to dogged but unspectacular league leaders is no place for the lightweight FF we saw v Brighton. Westy Palmer Lees Loovens Pudil Wallace Jones Lee Reach Hooper Fletcher Bannan on the bench due to 180 minutes of internationals. Chance for Jones to impress.

33 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 People suggesting not playing FF...? Are you foookin mentalist? People suggesting playing Jones...? Which great performance did I miss? Expensive poor man's Semedo Needs to step up Hope he can but unimpressed so far. Palmer has been much better than Hunt Better delivery into box is needed from right and neither Hunt nor Wallace seem able to give it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmer has been much better than Hunt Better delivery into box is needed from right and neither Hunt nor Wallace seem able to give it FF has been bang average since he came back into the fold and could have no complaints if he got the axe - no one is a guaranteed starter and if he isn't performing there are others who can step in. Reach deserves a chance in his best position, LW. Jones has barely had a chance to prove himself - was instrumental with Barton in helping get Burnley promoted so can clearly cut it at this level..deserves a run in the side to see what he can do. Bannan has played a lot recently and not always at his best level..he'd be the one to make way for me. Neither Palmer or Hunt are the answer, its been done to death but I'd have Palmer for this one as he is better defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast Forward Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Reach hasn't done enough to merit a starting place tomorrow. He's on the bench for me, FF on the left, Hutch in front of Lees and Loovens, Fletcher and Hopper up top. 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you always quote stats. I don't think Hooper has scored when he has started a game this season. He has scored 3 coming off the bench , I think.

But we have this year's best goalscorer in the division, and he has started less than half our matches. If we had a strong contender for the starting shirt then maybe (????) you could argue not starting Hooper, but we dont. FF doesnt score as a striker even when he is on form, let alone now he is in a dodgy spell. Are you really going to start Joao or Nuhiu rather than Hooper? Or play one up front? Surely we are better than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 As I said in another thread if Carlos is going to set us up to play as we have so far this season it doesn't matter who starts up front as their major task will be chasing defenders around on the halfway line for 60 mins. I am not ante Hooper, I just don't think that is a good use of talents. Rather have on the pitch for the last 30 mins. I saw him at Burton , Blackburn and against Bristol at home getting subbed without having a shot. And yes , I would start FF or Joao ahead of him if it meant Hooper was on and fit for the last 30.

kendoddsdadsdogsdead Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Westwood Lees Loovens. Pudil Hutch Buckley Lee. Reach Abdi FF Fletcher Hutch can drop back into the back 4 if required. Likewise Abdi into midfield if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouncing Owl Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 The team will be whether you like it or not; Westwood Palmer Lees Hutchinson Pudil Wallace Lee Jones Bannon FF Fletcher Personally, I would have Hutch in DM and Loovens at the back. Possibly Buckley in on the right to give us pace on the counter. If Joao is fit, I would like to see him being introduced in the second to really stretch them. I think tomorrow is a 1-1 game.

scram Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I think over the course of the season playing 4-4-2 will be our weakness It means we get outnumbered centrally - and that will be a difficult deficit to overcome over the course of the amount of games we have to play We have some very good players but we have to find a formation that fits them in - and doesn't expose us numerically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 What do you think would be best for us, Scram? I'm thinking something along the lines of a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation? Would offer us a solid base defensively and hopefully get the best out of players like Abdi, FF etc. Easy saying that sat here on my sofa though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
