billyblack Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 No idea if its correct or not but i have read that Jos likes a 4231 set up. If so i look forward to that. With our players we could be pretty decent at that. Certainly Abdi and FF could flourish in that and we have enough DM to play it. Should have tried it 6 months ago.

Bagarri Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I really hope we do! Seems logical. Especially when Forrestieri is fit, surely the perfect role for him is behind the striker, in a 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Think tank Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I think it would suit us much better. The sooner we ditch 4-4-2 the better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladeshater Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Wouldn't suit us at present we no energy or pace to make it a success but 3-4 signings could change that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though who knows whether Abdi is fit.... Certainly Joao is the better option as the lone man, being -IMO ay least- the only striker we have capable of stretching defences. And the others all being better suited to playing in a pairing - Of course. ..he's hit and miss, and if he doesn't turn up the plan is very much out of the window.

I agree - difficult one as the coming game is more focused on the opposition and they'll press us from the off so we'll need numbers in our last third to protect our goal and then mop up. It's what we do with the ball then and with Reach, Joao and Boyd across the front three in essence, it would ensure they'll need to drop a back four to cover as these three have energy and pace at least. Hutch and Butterfield would protect Abdi allowing him to be the play-maker, in a Sheridan role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Toni Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 If that's his chosen formation then some of those frozen out under Carlos could flourish under Jos and vice versa. Not sure we have a striker to play the lone role up front. If only Joao was a little stronger he'd be perfect! Also think our CMs (apart from Hutch) are too lightweight to play in a two holding scenario. Get Clayton in from Boro. The three behind the striker could be exciting. Yes they'd have to do their share defensively under Jos but imagine Abdi, Forestieri and one other pulling the strings and it promises much. Im just looking forward to seeing a strong and disciplined side who harass the opposition high up the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We simply can't allow ourselves to be picked off. We were last time, even with better players available. With No Bannan and Lee it becomes even more of a concern. Of course they're missing Coutts, but Duffy and Lundstrom have come in and done a job. (Shows the value of getting players to suit the system when the cover men can step straight in. ) If we play infront of them they'll love it. I feel we must get in behind them. Run at them. Not sure we have the personel. Huge task for Jos to find the solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorian gray Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 if we do play that formation, and it isn't JUST ONE OF MANY HE'LL USE, then it would be hard to accommodate hooper. he could play as one of the supporting 3 whilst in attack, however once we're defending he would have a lot of ground to make up to get into an attacking position, and a good many in our side haven't been used to moving 'QUICKLY' of late. i think we might be getting some 'unknown' germanic wonderboys as replacements for southern european 'tippytaps' who wilt once the autumn sets in.

Yes - I think we can only one of Jones or Butterfield (preferable neither if we had players fit/new signings), and it would have to be Butterfield for me, as i feel he's slightly more mobile. We definitely need Hutch in there. The other option, which i don't think we'll play is to play Reach in the middle; allowing him to break from deep as you suggest, and put Matias out left.

dorian gray Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 it will be interesting to see the outcome of a certain foot coming into contact with various arses who've been having it way too easy for far too long. the time for not giving a f*** is hopefully well and truly over.
