He played striker. So basically, given that you also want Hutch back, and Bannan wide, you want us to go back to last season's final side, with Fletch for Hooper. Not me.

There was nothing wrong with last seasons final side. It was virtually the same side that convincingly beat Brighton in the semi. Bannan was on the left (as he was for most of last season) and FF was up top (as he was for most of last season). Lopez/Hutch alongside Lee. The players just didnt turn up on the day and an experienced manager did a bit of a job on us. You seem to suffer with selective memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IstillhateSteveBould Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Tbf we have a better left sided player than Bannan now in Reach. So.. Wallace Lee Hutch Reach across midfield with Bannan on the bench. Fletcher and FF (if fit) up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birley Owl 1867 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 FF isnt fit, he wont start any game towards end of season now. 30 mins max in each match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldishowl Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I think it is pretty obvious Reach will play on the left in front of Pudil. Udders right back is probably the best attacking right back in the league, we need to deal with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want a return to the one-goal-per game line up. So you think our top scorer, stops us scoring? Sounds ridiculous doesnt it. It is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt_johno43 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Team picks itself until the forwards if Hooper is unfit. Regardless of what people think of him his return has coupled with our upturn in form, so it will be very interesting to see how CC shuffles the pack in his absence. In recent games he has been that missing link that we were crying out for, so with no natural fit replacement I think the system picked is slightly different to the one we were so successful in during the run in as IMO neither Fletch nor Rhodes is a natural in that link up role as Hooper. Definitely one based around being solid to wether the inevitable first 20/30 mins onslaught from Huddersfield. I just can't see Hudds wanting to just ease themselves into the game and IMO they will try to stretch the game right from minute one. 1-1 at their place with Kieran Lee scoring for us, 2-1 at ours Wednesday. Team for Sunday. Westwood Pudil Loovens Lees Hunt Reach Bannan Lee Wallace Rhodes Fletch Subs used FF Hutch Perhaps Jones (if fit)/Semedo For me this appears the most logical system CC will deploy, given the players at his disposal.

Ranchrat Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Keeper picks himself. 95% of people agree our best back four. In my opinion our best two central midfield players are Hutchinson and Lee. Best on right is Wallace. Best on Left is Forestieri if fit else Reach. Up front I'd play Fletcher and Rhodes our best two available strikers.

When you want to make sense of it, it's not rediculous at all... Wonderful exciting FF plays the link role, leaving pretty much one up front and a tireless but low scoring Reach down the left = the team scores one per game. Wonderful exciting FF plays down the left, allowing two out and out strikers to play up top = team scores two per game FF out or sub and we play two out and out strikers = team scores over 1.5 goals per game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't and he won't. Also people praising how Hoopers link play has made all the difference and now want to play two strikers, Rhodes and Fletcher with neither of them being link players. Bemusing. If Carlos starts these two, and he might, I predict hoof ball If FF was 100% fit I think he should and would start in Hooper's absence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Carlos starts these two, and he might, I predict hoof ball If FF was 100% fit I think he should and would start in Hooper's absence A while ago I might have agreed with you. Not now. When we were fielding badly lop-sided teams we were clueless getting the ball forward. Now we attack left, right and through the centre. Pudil and Reach work superbly coming forwards. Wallace and Hunt are superb coming forward. Lee and Bannan are far more creative and attacking than any other pairing. I see no chance that we will use hoof-ball with the current line-up. Bannan will demand and receive, and has Lee, two wideman and two attackers all making themselves available for his pass. No need for crab football followed by a hoof anymore. And its nothing to do with the choice of front two anyway. This season we played hoof-ball with a diminutive attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though much depends on Fernandos fitness. I think they'll give him every opportunity to rest himself where possible. The other thing is the midfield. Hutchinson so often a shoe in. Does he go back in at the expense of Bannan who has been looking a lot sharper of late? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
York_Owl Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Assuming they are fit enough I would play both. Hutchinson has been the player of the season for me and he gives us a physical presence and leadership that we lack a bit without him. And I still think FF is the best footballer at the club and ideally suited to the number ten role in a 4-4-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjowl Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) Got to be continuation of winning formula: Westwood Pudil Lees Loovens Hunt Reach Bannan Lee Wallace Fletch Hooper (or FF/Winnall) Subs: Wildsmith Sasso Hutch Buckley Nuhiu FF/Winnall Rhodes Also enjoying attacking nature of having both Bannan and Lee in the middle. Bannan and Jones/Hutch too defensive and slow approach. Edited May 10, 2017 by sjowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
