DuttyTeabags Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 The current team which Carlos has stumbled upon looks good other than Wallace who is not really pulling up any trees. FF for Wallace straight swap. KW JH MF Doom TL Glennis AR JB BB FF GH JR I'd love to see this side with LJ given a run but Rhodes is scoring and we're winning. Honestly if I were an oppo fan and I saw above side as the opposition I would have the fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RocketOwl Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Is there any possibility he could be back for the next game? Is this why he has posted the picture? Remember K Lee coming back very surprisingly last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussianDave Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Some intriguing combinations there. I don't think we should drop Rhodes, Hooper or Reach from the line up. When FF is fit, we must find room for him and we know he is best on the left. Wallace can drop to t'bench but he plays on the right so it can't be a straight swap. So probably this: Westwood Lees. Loovens. Fox. Matias/ Butterfield/. Bannan. Reach. Hunt. Lee Hooper. Rhodes. Fessi. Subs: Wildsmith, Palmer, Van Aken, Joao, Wallace, (Hunt/Matias), (Butterfield/Lee). I'm glad I'm not a football manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has played RW, he is mainly right-footed, and if you watch the promotion-winning goal by Deeney it came from a sublime right wing cross from Nando. Watford games:- 13/14 Starts as striker 20 Subbed on 9 14/15 Starts as striker 4 Starts as LW 4 Starts as RW 2 Subbed on 14 If he were coming back to fitness imminently it would seem sensible he starts gently as a sub, then replace Wallace in some starts. But who knows what our injury list or player/team form will be in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westwood Venacio Lees Loovens Hunt Butterfield Bannan Reach Forestieiri Hooper Rhodes As a full-back Hunt's final ball is acceptable, and certainly a tad improved this season. But as a winger or wing-back we would be hopeless if relying on him solely to supply from the right. I also think that under Carlos his natural caution would really make this a 5212 rather than a 352. I think it significant that the only way our fans can fit FF back into the team is by completely moving away from our set-up, i.e. Guessing what might work for the team. The set-up should be established and trained first, then FF needs to knock one player out of the starting line-up on merit, say right or left wing, or striker.

tarn owl Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 If we are winning games with 2 up top and Reach playing well on the left then maybe he just doesn't fit what we need and we sell him in Jan. Then re-invest the money into other areas of the team and start getting the squad balance right. Alternatively if we are struggling and he wants to put him in to freshen up the team then play him up top with Hooper. (I would go 4-3-3 with him on the wing but that isn't going to happen) I think it will come down to our form at the time. When he does comeback I would like it if he just knuckles down and doesn't complain about playing in different positions. Would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookeh Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) Everyone's posting line ups with back 3s, but does anyone actually believe we'll switch to a back 3? Most likely we'll play 442 and either invert both Nando and Reach or just play Nando down the right in place of Wallace. It's that simple Personally I'd just slot him in on the right, as it'd give as little disruption as possible to the rest of the side.

Think this is an important fact actaully. A lot of the speculation is based on everyone being fit and firing which we have rarely if ever seen for any length of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odd game, he has played many more up top and it clearly doesn’t work. (Are you hoping he nabs a spot from JR? FF needs to be where he can do most damage, hanging around big clogger defenders who seem to have carte-blanche to do what they want to him is wasting his talents. On the wing or as a 3 for me.
