crookesowl Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Carlos has a few headaches for Tuesday. Lots of players deserve a start at the moment. However I was worried about the dynamic 3-5-2 / 4-4-2 formation on Friday and despite the result we were very lucky not to concede. I think it needs more work, so if I was the gaffer would revert to a more standard 4-4-2: Westwood Hunt Loovens Hutchinson Fox Reach Abdi Bannan FF Winnall Rhodes That is the only way to accommodate Hutch, Reach, FF, and the two strikers which as far as I am concerned are undroppable. The only other change I would make is to drop Reach and put Wallace on. Reach is a bit of a super sub let's be honest and really offers a lot from the bench. What team would you start if you were Carlos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMX Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Westwood Hunt Lees (Sasso) Loovens Fox Wallace Hutch Abdi Forestieri Rhodes Winnall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 We have just enjoyed our best win and best home performance of the season. Exactly the same XI must start. FF knows Reach is breathing down his neck, and likely to replace him at HT if he is off colour again. That's a very healthy place for us to be.

Owls2k Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Same as Friday unless Lees is fit. Perhaps FF < Reach depending on fitness / level of mardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoadABallacks Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Probabaly same team again, maybe McManaman in for Wallace. I think, like last season, if we want to see us 'go for it' a bit more, we have to accept we will leave space for teams to exploit. We can't have it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might get chance to see him dominating the centre. Suspect we might see fletcher back in some way as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agentwalker Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Palmer will start. Fox might be rotated Only possible other changed are FF and wallace but I think he'll stick with them but Reach is pushing hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) Westwood Hunt Loovens Sasso Fox Mcmanaman Hutchinson Bannan Fessi Winall Rhodes Sub's: Wildsmith Lees Palmer Abdi Wallace Reach Fletcher If Lees is fit and after 2 clean sheets I think Sasso should keep his place. Maybe too much for Wallace to play two games in short space. Reach looks laboured when started but looks hungry when a sub so I'd still stick with him on bench at moment.

I wouldn't be disappointed with the same 11. If Carlos wants to persist and get this 3-5-2 / 4-4-2 mash up working it needs practice and it's a good opportunity.

owls85 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I'd definitely have mcmanaman in there somewhere. We're lacking pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Genuine question, can Abdi and Forestieri both play in midfield or will that leave us short defensively? I'd keep the same line up as Friday unless Lees is fully fit, and maybe Abdi for Bannan if Abdi can put in the same shift as Bannan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Triplo Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Same as Friday for me. But we know Carlos likes to tinker. If it came down to one change I would give Mac a start from the beginning and give Wallace a rest. Not because Wallace has played badly, but because he could do with a rest. That is all.

Guest everydays_wednesday Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Has to be the same side for me unless Lees is fit.....my preference would be never change a winning side as we have a real chance in the next 3 games to build momentum, confidence and a big points haul.

bigthinrob Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Almost impossible these days to pick the team. The options are endless and all with advantages & possibilites. I think the nailed on starting eleven is gradually becoming less important than it used to be due to strength we have. Its pretty much nailed on that changes happen round 65 mins or earlier if required and we now can make subs without any adverse affect on the team, sometimes the reverse. It must be a nightmare for teams to hold their own against us, only for McManaman, Reach, Hooper, Fletcher, Abdi to name a few, waiting to come on. Loving it!!

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I'd like to see Mcmannan and Abdi given starts Keep Winnall and Rhodes up top Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 To be honest, from now to May.... Any proper striker (not FF) to partner Rhodes 2 CMs (not 3) then the names are not that important. We have such quality in the match day squad now that Macca could replace Wallace, Abdi for Bannan, Reach for FF, Reach for Fox....it doesn't weaken us at all.
