Fuzzy logics Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 If we can get some players fit I think we are relatively well covered for our first team apart from DM. We do need cover at LWB though...

Costello 77 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 On topic but a slight tangent. Does anyone know (apart from gh) how we're blessed for forwards in the U23s? I know Malek and kivo will but I don't know how to do the tagging thing. FFS, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I think with everyone fit 4 2 3 1 would work best. Westwood/Wildsmith Hunt/Palmer Lees/v Aken Venancio Fox Lee/Hutchinson Bannan/Clare Wallace/ Joao Hooper/FF Reach/Boyd Fletcher/Nuhiu/Rhodes We have a squad of talent in midfield and even FF and Hooper have played better when deeper so there are plenty of options in that formation with the likes of Abdi and Matias who could also come into it. Bannan is shown deeper here but he wouldn’t be the holding player as he was unsuccessfully last season, he would have cover and could still roam forward or dictate play.

Guest wilyfox Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Is van Aken a long term casualty? I've no idea what's wrong with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatter Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Seems Jos prefers 3-5-2 as his starting line up. If this continues I can't see the sense in wasting cash on a right winger. Hunt to my mind is a better wing back than conventional flat 4-4-2 style full back and should be ok if/when fit. Left wing back will however need to be sorted unless Reach is deployed there when central midfielders return to fitness. That leaves a young fit box to box central midfielder and a centre back (probably on loan while developing youngsters) as main prioriies for me.

For the very few times Jos is likely to use an out and out right winger there is Boyd Wallace and Stobbs in the squad. Don't see the logic of spending more on this position. Ii suspect 4-4-2 is being ditched for more flexible formations under Luhukay's regime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunningham from Preston (LB) Joey incoming (CM) Ben 10 (RW) Sorted Get rid of non playing Abdi, get rid of Buttercup if we can and Mr Jones. Would also like to get rid of Fletcher and Loovens if we could find anyone stupid enough to take them but unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) With everyone fit and a few coming in. 1st game next season for me this team would be top 2.

If thats the case then we've only really got FF and maybe MM who can play in that line of 3. I think you'd see the best from Matias, Fernando , Wallace, Reach, Abdi, and Hooper in that line up. I think the bigger issue in that system is who plays the lone role. For my money Joao is the best fit. But he's inconsistent. ..and I think it would make Fletcher and Rhodes redundant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew6666 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Left Back: Get rid of Fox. Bring In new left back. Centre Midfield: Get rid of Butterfield. Get rid of Jones. Get rid of Abdi. Sign Pelupessy. Sign new centre midfielder (although this could be Reach's best position). Wing: Get rid of Wallace. Get rid of Boyd. Bring in new winger (Premier league youngster) Strikers: Get rid of Nuhui. Get rid of Fletcher. We need to get rid of some deadwood that havent set the world alight. Im sure most will be on big wages too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0114 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Left back desperately needs upgrading, Morgan Fox just isn’t up to the standard of challenging next season. Centre half has needed addressing for a while. A winger, pace, completely lacking. I would have also said a defensive midfield so fantastic to see Jos has already identified this and currently close to signing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centre forward who gets 20 a season and isn't injured for half of it. Midfielder with pace and strength. Quick winger who can cross a decent ball into the box. Left back.
