Tom Wheatley Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Finally a slight bit of consistency in the lineup this season. Bannan is back for this weekend which is a big bonus. My team: Dawson Lees Hector Pudil Palmer Reach Pelupessy Bannan Penney FF Nuhiu I believe Jos will stick with the back 3/5. It seems to be his default system.

Guest LittleG Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Jos does like to make changes so might see Thorniley and Fletcher back in the side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Dawson Palmer Lees Thorniley Penney Onomah Joey Bannan Reach Fletcher FF Id go to a back 4 personally. There’s enough legs in that midfield to screen the back 4. We aren’t good enough with the ball at the back to play a back 3. Pudil and Dave will definitely be rested for this one. Thorniley battles out with Hector for a place in the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I would like to see Fletcher start ahead of Nuhiu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S72 Owl Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Subs: Wildsmith Pudil Baker Kirby Preston Joao Nuhui Really like the look of Thorniley and found it tough to leave him out but I’d try Lees and Hector as a partnership. We just need a clean sheet from somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorniley battles out with Hector for a place in the side. It’s a difficult call. I like 4 at the back simply because it allows us to play that proper midfield 3 with Reach and FF as wide players. It just looks so well balanced. But despite being under a lot of pressure in the last two we have defended well with 3 at the back. It also helps at set pieces. It didn’t go too well last season when Jos changed to a 4 at Bristol Glad it’s not my call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sultan_Pepper Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I'd like Both the loanees in, I think they have added a much needed boost to the side in terms of height and pace through the middle. Dawson Palmer Lees Hector Thorniley Penney Onomah Bannan Reach Forrestieri Fletcher May as well start Reach on the right of a three so he can be nearer his prime shooting spot, FF cutting in from the left can work a treat too. Will need Hector to step forward to allow Bannan or Onomahto get up to Fletcher though and stop us getting out numbered in the middle. It's a tough call to go away from home and drop Joey though. Might see FF on the bench instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardo Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Pudil was looking a bit stressed for the last 15mins. constantly holding the bridge of his nose. Obviously the break is concerning him. At one point he was leaning on the advertising boards in front of the north and looked out of it for while.... Therefore if Thorniley is fit i think he may play instead.

His distribution on Wednesday was very poor. I lost count of the times he gave the ball away. Don’t get me wrong he’s done ok since he come in and has brought height to the team which we need. Thorniley is very good tho and is ready. Its a very tricky one. We either play 3-4-3 or go 4-3-3 and I’d rather go with a back 4 personally. Few reasons why; our centre defenders aren’t good enough on the ball to start attacks and bring the ball out of defence and this is pivotal in this formation. Did you see Lees trying to bring the ball out of the right side of defence on Wednesday night. Looked very uncomfortable. Neither Baker or Palmer are good enough in attacking areas on the right in this formation. Moreover, if we do play Bannan and Onomah and Joeypussy in a midfield 3, there’s enough legs in there to help the back line and support the strikers. Man City and Liverpool play this system brilliantly and both teams have energetic midfield players. Edited October 5, 2018 by Bouncing Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Daz Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Same team as Wednesday night for me, keep Baz on the bench till later, let em get used to playing without his workrate, then unleash him around 60 mins. and Jud on around the same time.

FreshOwl Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) I can’t see us keeping a clean sheet unless we go back to a back 4, but if Jos thinks 3 is the way to go and it’s just a case of us getting used to it, then fair enough Edited October 5, 2018 by FreshOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I’d give Penney a rest. This lad is itching for some action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
