Westwood Palmer (I agree with the OP here, neither are inspiring) Lees Loovens Fox Wallace Hutchinson Bannan Reach Forestieri Rhodes Why can't Wallace be dropped for some fresh ideas? Yes, he's scored in the last 3 games. Great. I'm a fan of his myself. But I want to see CM play 90 mins on the right, putting in crosses for 2 strikers to attack. Jordan Rhodes was isolated last night, and the exact same thing will happen if Carlos plays the same team, apart from 2 changes at FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's to say, some else couldn't contribute a goal and create more in the match? Wallace and Reach as wingers isn't going to work for Rhodes.

If we played CM and FF wide, with 2 strikers up front, we'd create much more opportunities, that would lead to more goals. We only had one shot on target last night. I don't want to see Rhodes isolated up front again. It's just a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Rhodes was isolated last night, and the exact same thing will happen if Carlos plays the same team, apart from 2 changes at FB. Wallace can be dropped, but he will not be and he shouldn't be. There's no coincidence that he's returned to goalscoring form since McManaman has come to the club. He deserves his place at the moment but he will not last 90 mins. Team on Friday will be: Westwood Palmer Lees Loovens Fox Wallace Bannan Hutch Reach Forestieri Rhodes Reach played on the right for a while last night, which opens the possibility of a Wallace < Winnall change in the second half with FF moving out to the left and Reach to the right.

Robdylan Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 2 hours ago, Southie_Owl said: Absolutely, I just posted in another thread how I don't think we have the crossing ability to play with two wide men. Our full backs can't cross, and Reach and Wallace aren't that great at it either. But we do have very neat and tidy central midfield players so I think we should overload that area in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation. I think Reach is good at crossing, but for the majority of the time, he's only got one striker to aim for. I like Wallace, but he very rarely puts crosses in that can be attacked. The majority of his crosses come from deep, and they're in-swinging crosses, again: aimed at one striker, who's normally got 2 defenders to beat. Callum McManaman should be given 90 mins on the right wing. Because he can put crosses into the area at pace, which guys like Rhodes and Hopper thrive on.

Tamworthowl Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I've been suggesting McManaman get more than 10 minutes. He got over 30 yesterday and did (almost) nothing. Reach is a bit marmite. I'm disappointed, but many think he's putting in MoM performances. But he does offer flexibility which allows the team to change formation. He's a good player to have on the pitch. For me, a return for Lees, Hutchinson and Fox. Id like to see Winnall and Rhodes up front, or with FF in a front three, but I expect FF and Rhodes. I'd like Abdi to get some game time, but in the little I've seen of him he is just so average. Comfortable on the ball, but "safe" passes. No drive and none of the chance creating passes I expected when we signed him. Bannan has his faults, but he does drive forward and create chances for the forwards. Westwood Palmer, Lees, Loovens, Fox Wallace, Hutchinson, Bannan, Reach Rhodes, Forestieri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Rhodes was isolated last night, and the exact same thing will happen if Carlos plays the same team, apart from 2 changes at FB. IMO because in a team woefully short on goals, you can't possibly drop a player who is on a scoring run. Dont know about you but when I played I was never prolific, but when I scored I generally scored over the next few matches. There are many players who do likewise. Wallace is in such a run and needs to keep at it. CM looks really decent and will get a chance at some point, whether it be left or right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no creativity in that team. Bannan and Jones should never be paired again. Wallace and Reach don't attack the wings enough and put in good crosses. Rhodes again would find himself isolated up front. We only had 1 shot on target yesterday, yet you'd want to play the same team at home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozzy85 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 12 hours ago, Think tank said: Westwood Palmer ( neither choice is appealing) Lees Loovens Fox Mcmanaman Hutchinson Abdi FF Rhodes Winnall I'd have Wallace in instead of McMannaman as he's in some good form, 3 goals in 4 games is it.

Let's have some fresh ideas that benefits the team as a whole. So: It's not okay to drop Wallace from the team because he's scored 3 goals, yet it's okay to play a £10m striker up front on his own, who's isolated?
