Playing two wingers practically makes Bannan redundant Don't they need anyone to give them the ball then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpowl Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Sammy Ameobi on a free and a young loan who’s that tasty player from Liverpool who’s on loan at rangers is it Ryan Kent? Or Aarons with a decent preseason with us on loan theres three anyway as a suggestion to complement reach and if we play Fessi there I can see forestieri playing more from the bench next year if he’s not sold and I see Bruce making us a high pressing team by adding pace down the sides abit like what Fulham was like when they got promoted both full backs and wingers was electric we all ready have iorfa in so lb two wide players to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With enough coaching I wonder whether he could take on Lee’s role in midfield? Been saying that since he got here. He's got all the attributes bar a strong physical presence, then again neither has Kieran Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously there was an upturn in form, but we were never as bad as we looked under Jos, he was completely inept Since getting rid of the Dutchman, our form has been pretty good, both under a Bullen, and Bruce. We are often found wanting against the better sides because Bannan is forced too deep and we can’t get out. Most of the time, that is with a three in midfield, as Reach will operate in that area. If it’s a two, say Hutchinson and Bannan, we would be overrun in most games. We want Bannan operating further up the pitch, but if he did that, the gap between him and Hutchinson would be far too big Edited May 8, 2019 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've said it in your final statement. Our main problem is the time it takes us to change from defence to attack. We are so slow at changing the vision. We are so slow at changing our thinking, What we Lack is ANTICIPATION. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interest in Joao. Winnall out of favour. We could then play FF out wide but further up the pitch so he shouldn't moan! Leaves fletcher atty and Rhodes fighting for the no.9 spot with another winger on the right. Reach and FF as wingers +2 for competition. Leaves a midfield 3 which should suit Barry.

A mixture of 4-3-3 4-5-1 or 4-1-4-1 like the academy played in the final or we played away at Norwich is the ideal formation. Gives Bannan cover and we match 3 with 3 in central midfield. Fletcher is the perfect target man also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulture_squadron Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Don't think Forestieri defends well enough to be wide man in 433. Or 442 for that matter. Not when the opposition have a good right back. I see now why Carlos often used to shift him to the left later in games when we needed a goal. But I'm still not sure he's great up front. But him and Fletcher should be great on paper. The fact we still debate his best position 3 years after he arrived is a bit odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
