Swiss Toni Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 So with the rumoured arrivals of both Moses Odubajo and Kadeem Harris our right hand side should be pretty strong next season and have pace, power and versatility. At times we can be adventurous and play either Iorfa or Odubajo at RB with Harris RM and then on other occasions be more defensive by playing Iorfa at RB with Odubajo RM. If we could just mirror that strength on the left we'd be in a strong position going into next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both have a decent cross and can get up and down the flank. Pace and power from the Right Quality crosses from the Left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpowl Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Yeah I think Odubajo or Harris will play on the left though we are going to have some serious pave and be at teams be exciting to watch players like bannan will have a field day hitting them balls do we think reach will go left now Harris and Odubajo and iorfa right Palmer, Penny? New? Forestieri Be some options out there be interesting how we line up just happy we are finally adding pace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls-Fan Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 i wouldn’t be surprised if Bruce tries to sign a young player on loan to compete for a left sided midfield place. I’ll stick my head out and say Ben Woodburn on loan from Liverpool. I don’t think he suited the pigs style of play but Reach, Forestieri and Woodburn challenging for the left hand side should be good enough in a 442 system.

It certainly gives us options with a smaller playing squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play 4-4-2 without massively strengthening centre midfield. we will be obliterated by the better sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have supposedly one of the best CMs in the league in Bannan but just can't get the balance right. Not sure what's best to do but we definitely need some height in there and presence.

gurujuan Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I’m reasonably happy with the mooted signings, but I don’t think they’ll elevate us to promotion candidates. More quality is needed, which may well arrive later in the window. As things stand, what we seem ready to bring in, doesn’t even match what we’ve lost. It’s a decent base though, but much will depend on what we do next. At least we will have brought the average age down, which we needed to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Wednesday Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Playing 2 in CM is a risk these days, a lot of teams play a 3. If you want to keep the ball and pass through the 3rds then you are going to struggle with a 4-4-2. Thats why teams have started using a back 3 more, that way they can keep a front 2 but also have 3 in CM. Hutch and Bannan aren't a bad pairing, but Bannan is there to mainly be creative in possession, he's a bit lightweight defensively. Hutch is quality but I think we are asking too much of him in a pair with his potential to breakdown. I don't actually mind Pelupessy, he's just a bit careless in possession. I would only use a 4-4-2 if we were going to get the ball wide quickly and attack down both sides, which is something that could happen with the players we have been linked with. We then use Bannan to switch the play from side to side, that way we move a packed defensive unit about. That set up would suit Fletcher, Joao, Winnall and Rhodes. For it to be mega effective we would need a fitter Hutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Bannan and Hutchinson, are ill suited to playing in a two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
