Costello 77 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 4 hours ago, Holmowl said: Rhodes with Fletch or Winnall. FF left. But of course, Carlos will play Rhodes FF. A month ago I'd totally agree. I think ff looks more dangerous in a ten role right now. But I don't know why that's the case. Perhaps the deernamics changed.

andrewowl Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 3 hours ago, Earlsfieldowl said: I'd have a 5 man midfield and Fletcher on his own up front But CC will likely go with the same lineup that turned up for about the last 20 minutes against Brentford. We'll lose this one 2-0 got a feeling this will be a more open game, as both sides will attack more, both sides want to consolidate that play off spot. and after Tuesday night there will have been a few words said. there will be goals, 4-2 Wednesday, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash60s Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 IF we play 2 up I dont care which combo we use BUT Macca to start wide right, whoever is RB just doesn't overlap we've got the weapons just no rounds/ammo/bullets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Definitely Rhodes and Forestieri. McManaman in on the right. Can't play both Macca and Ff on the wings...we'll get mullered!!! Edited February 23, 2017 by Kagoshimaowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handworth52 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 7 hours ago, Earlsfieldowl said: Not for this one ...for me if it's just 1 up front it has to be Fletcher. Rhodes is best with someone along side him. Fletcher did it in the Prem - Rhodes yet to really prove himself at the higherst level. Dont think Leeds will be too worried about what we will do either tbh Totally agree leave Rhodes on bench play fessi in hole behind fletcher .other clubs regularly had Rhodes on bench for tough away games .our problem is fullbacks if sacko and there other wingers run at out full backs woods will get loads of service and if sasso and loovens are in middle I will worry.leeds will know our weakness fullbacks , and Bannan in midfield , but who does he play ? He should have got a bully in midfield in January . Fox Lees have to play Saturday or I fear worse. I saw us against leeds earlier in season and we got bullied by there bigger players and got exposed by sacko pace down wings . On paper we have a much better squad but they have a working unit of a team and they will be well up for this game .I'd take a point now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't know why that's the case. Perhaps the deernamics changed. He looks really dangerous in the ten role, and he looked really dangerous left against Brentford and Blackburn. He is a wonderful forward wherever he plays. The reason I strongly prefer him left is what it does for the team rather than for him as an individual. For whatever reason, our strikers don't score when he plays. Two goals from his co-striker all season. And that is a huge problem. Perhaps that will change with Rhodes.

Mr. Chow Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Whether you play reach and ff or reach and Wallace there still going to be bobbar defence down one side through a game to the people saying we will be weak down the side defensively nothing will have changed. id play reach right and ff left with Rhodes and winnall up top....

Mr Hooper Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I'd go for Westwood Hunt - Sasso - Loovens - Reach Mcmanaman - Bannan - Hutchinson - Wallace Fessi Rhodes Im just wary that Leeds have very good wingers, playing Macca & Fessi on the wings could open us up a little too much. Playing like this still gives the defenders lots to worry about with Macca's pace, Wallace on his favoured wing, Fessi roaming around and Rhodes picking up scraps. Hopefully Hooper will make the bench as well, he likes scoring against Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkerowl Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Not been as confident about winning a game since Newcastle away. 0-2 Rhodes with both it will be. Leeds wont even make the playoffs IMO. 1 MAN TEAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgmetcalf Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Rhodes and Winnall for me, but the issue is no longer the strikers, it's the service they get. Give the service and they'll perform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Copthorneowl Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Quite a number mentioning Hooper - do you guys know something we don't can anybody please tell us his current stats if you know it.

WAWAWestwood Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Rhodes and Winnall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Cant believe a few are already putting Rhodes on the bench! Five games into his career here. Upto Boro he was an out and out ever-present for his clubs. Never dropped and never injured, and he scored goals for 8 consecutive seasons. Karanka was the only manager who devised a system that stopped Rhodes scoring freely, by playing him largely as a target man. We play 442 - utterly made for JR, but then we keep the ball among our back six (incl Westy and Hutch) and pull our one and a half wingers narrow. Rhodes must be pulling his flipping hair out. If we drop him to play Fletch in 451, do we do the same against other tough sides like Norwich, Newcastle, Cardiff? Get him service and he will score. That's what's needed. Not dropping him to play even more "solid" than we do now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, there is an issue with service, but it's probably the same issue that stopped our existing strikers scoring more freely. In this system, the only one of the strikers who looks like scoring, is Forestieri. So if no one is scoring regularly, you look to see what else they offer the team. Without goals, Rhodes doesn't actually contribute much, so leaving him out shouldn't be such a great surprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuhiu Joao Hooper Fletcher Winnall and finally Rhodes and none of them can score in our current system, what does that tell you? Either they are all not good enough or the system is badly flawed.

As well as a surprise it would be a colossal waste of money. When you invest in a proven goal scorer at this level the manager and his coaching staff should be making every effort to build a team around him and play to his strengths.
