owlZfan84 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Has to happen, for me. Fletcher and Rhodes up top, with Hooper at the top of the diamond. God knows what CC will do though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I would rather see matias start, maybe even Joao. Attack with wingers and pace. Otherwise the will sit back and we won't break them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frastheowl Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Burton tend to play 3-5-2, so going with a diamond (or a box as it is at times) could be the way forward. Our two wing backs will cancel out their equivalent and we'll have a 4 vs 3 in midfield. The problems we'd have experienced at Fulham playing the diamond (i.e. wide forwards and attacking, overlapping full backs) won't exist at Burton. But, it's imperative you win the midfield battle against sides like Burton, and by flooding the midfield is the best way to do that. Also, it suits our midfielders natural game more than the stuffy 4-4-2. I'd go with... --------------------Westwood------------------------ --------------Lees-------------Loovens*------------- Hunt-----------------Jones-------------------Reach --------------Wallace--------Bannan---------------- -----------------------Boyd-------------------------- ---------------Fletcher------Hooper---------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Fletcher and Hooper front two. Anyone thinking otherwise knows nowt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did think we might see that myself in the odd game when I saw we were signing him. A role he played regularly for Peterborough. Yet he has seemingly been deemed as a wide man only by our managment.

Bouncing Owl Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 It will be 4-4-2 in this game without doubt with Hoops and Fletch up top. I want us to go 4-3-3 but I think this formation may be more suited in home games and I would rather we have Kieran Lee in the side in this system.

Carlos did say Boyd couldn't play in a diamond formation. Perhaps this is the role he means he ain't suited too. Also Forestieri on paper would also suit this role, but Carlos is reluctant. Obviously knows something we don't about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest, I don't think I'd play FF in that role either. Hard to put a finger on without it turning onto one of my long rambles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
