Indeed I think there is zero chance of Matias starting. It's just what I would do. Boyd is clearly a Bruce man and Matias is out of favour. However , IMO, a squad so devoid of pace needs someone like him in the match day squad. He still remains the onky player this season to have made runs in behind wanting the ball rather than the modern trend of wanting it to feet 30 yards from goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last couple of times Matias has played there seems to be a lack of communication with the other front man...Fletcher for instance...The flick on goes one way , Matias invariably is running the other. Admittedly its not easy for either..Fletcher to direct a flick on accurately, nor Matias to react...But say for instance Fletch said "always go left."..maybe it could produce summat.... mind you I can see us tryin' that Satday an' Matias after 89 minutes sayin' "Ohh your left..........................

Once fit, Id rather Onomah was in our midfield 3 instead of Reach so he can be deployed in a wide attack role to compete with FF and Aarons. I know you are putting a team for next week but I think that would provide us with the right balance. I think we suit a back 4 and a midfield 3 and Bruce needs to get his tactics right.

Not sure that's what Bruce wants is it. Has he ever had runners in behind. Has Played with quick mobile front men but not sure they played off the shoulder. I think we have had Forestieri start and he is the luxury player so to speak. Aarons and Matias I believe also fall into this category. Workman like one side, flair the other. So think he brings in Aarons for Forestieri and maybe Matias will be on the bench unless he has decided that he is done at the club. Honestly don't see him going with two out and out flair players either side of Fletcher from the get go. which may explain why we haven't seen Aarons start yet. Think Aarons comes in for Forestieri and i would love him to go with Reach on that right hand side of the attack. But think this only becomes a possibility once Onomah is available again for the midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear the same, that Boyd is one of Bruce’s boys...he’s the definition of cement boots, Sedgwick-esque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loughborough Owl Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) For me the 433 didn't work nor did the 442, Bruce and Agnew said they played 3 at the back at Hull so I really would go 352: Westwood Hector Lees Thorniley Iorfa Reach Hutchinson Bannan Lazaar João Fletcher Subs: Fox, Pelupessy, Winnall, Nuhiu, Boyd, Dawson, Aarons Edited February 17, 2019 by Loughborough Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of 20 years ago watching gladiators on a Saturday after the wednesday match in that when he runs it's as though he's on the travelator...legs go but doesn't get anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is that means a 4-4-2 and we just don’t have the right central midfielders for that. The only other option then is to play 3-5-2 which could work if we’re positive with it.

steelcityowlsfan Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 As I said in another thread they have a real threat in Daniel James and his pace. On either flank he will leave Palmer or Fox for dead. Therefore I would go with this team: Westwood Iorfa Hector Thorniley Lazaar Reach Hutch Bannan Aarons Joao Fletcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi1867 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 What concerns me is the lack of any threat up front. We have 4-5 STRIKESR'S in the squad, have they score 25 goals between them yet?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forestieri ends up in his own half and Joao is forced to play the Fletcher hold up role. And he can not do it. This and Bannan dropping so deep all the time are why we struggle to form any attacks. Can't wait for Hooper to return. Even at 80% fit, seriously. He makes the world of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
