Or queue at the newsagent for 40 mins, chatting away, waiting for the Green Un, just for old times' sake, abd even though there isn't one anymore. Then you nip to the pub after Wednesday's won, to talk about it to likeminded people, and they want to talk about the Oystons, or Man Utd, or Preston (aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrhhhhhhhh!). Plus, everyone is miserable and unfriendly, because you can't say Chorlton and the Wheelies, and little old lady, do you like sponge? In the right accent.

Would rather see Hooper, Abdi or Wallace in there. Depends how we use the shoehorn though! A 4-2-3-1 formation is the only thing that I could see working in terms of fitting our best players into the team. Far too attacking minded for CC though. It'd leave the fullbacks exposed.

Unless they've recently reintroduced it? You used to be able to get it in Sainsburys on Red Bank Road, Bispham too, but not anymore.

The Night-Owl Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Well done mi'lord. I particularly like your tactical analysis. *Tips my cloth cap to you, sir* Hopefully we play the diamond midfield again. I'd love for us to return to the attacking sexy football of Carlos' first season. Looking forward to this one. No idea what the score will be but just want us to get a result but enjoy the game too. I won't do a prediction because I'm rubbish at those and feel like I jinx it whenever I do. C'mon the famous old Wednesday! Do us proud in your 150th anniversary season.

Left hand side is beckoning but Bannan in the mix for that position too. Might have to drop one of them. I'm edging towards keep The diamond, keep Bannan on the left, because he doesn't get tired tracking back, Hooper and Fletcher up front, because they're established strikers, and work together, and drop Forestieri to the bench to give us an impact when we bring him on. Shame, because when Forestieri is on the left, and firing on all cylinders, he makes us tick, and he came out with credit last week. Sadly though, he's caused something of a dilemma that we could've done without. Again shows the depth we have beyond the back four though, so all positives. I'll expand the point. He came out with credit for actually making an effort, not for the end result in his advanced position.

Lord Snooty Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) I think the issue we have with Forestieri is that he is one of those modern types of player... He's excellent on the ball, can take players on, score goals from nothing..... ...but he doesn't really have a position. He's not a striker in the traditional sense, he's not really a 'winger' the manager himself has said he's not sure he's an attacking midfielder... So....that's where the shoehorn comes in! We could almost do with saying today lads you ten will play a 4-3-2 and you Fernando, you just go where the space is. But can a team afford to do that in a competitive championship? Who knows. Not me. Oh well. Let's just hope that if he does start he finds the space wherever he is on the pitch Edited August 12, 2017 by Lord Snooty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
