He can't be expected to get immediate results. I'd be happy with a draw. I think after QPR its clear we are going to have to go too have to go back to three in midfield, but hopefully we can get the wingers pushed further up field, on the ball and in the box on the opposite wing for crosses. Monk's going to have too work with what we have, and at this point we don't have two CMs who can control midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed.. that's why we have to carry the game to the opposition.. get Murphy and Harris fired up and instruct any nearby teammates to dash after them into the the penalty area and get the ball in the net..

SallyCinnamon Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Apparently played a 4-4-2 at Birmingham. Managed to get a decent partnership going with Adams and Jutkiewcz. Personally think our midfield options are more suited to a three though: Westwood Iorfa Lees Borner Fox Bannan Luongo Lee Harris Fletcher Reach Thats what i would go with. Lack height and strength in the middle maybe, but all three midfielders have good engines and can be tenacious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouncing Owl Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 We should go 4-3-3 - this suits our team. I hope Kieran Lee is somewhere near top fitness as we need him in the team as he’s the one who can drive from midfield and get in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Quite nice that he probably won’t have favourites and everyone should be getting a fresh start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torres Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 There wasn’t much wrong with the set up we had at the start of the season in my opinion, just needed a tweak or 2 and for the players to get comfortable with their roles. Monk needs to do what the previous regime (inc Bullen) has failed to do - not allow Hutchison AND Bannan to come too deep. Play at a tempo for more than 15 minutes per game Get players around Fletcher and not revert to isolating him with long balls Don’t play everything through Bannan, he’s a valuable member of the first team but don’t use him all of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be 4-3-3 for me, that 4-4-2 may have been reasonably successful at Birmingham, but it was grim to watch Arguably, Birmingham should have been more free flowing, given the attacking options they had, despite what DC says. Remember, it was the same DC who thought it was a good idea to invest £10m on Jordan Rhodes and Sam Winnall. Think I’d rather have had Birmingham’s boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrs Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Bruce mostly played 4-4-2 last season and it worked really well. So if Monk played 4-4-2 at Birmingham too then it seems perfectly logical to try it. Since last season the midfield options are improved with Lee returning and Luongo signing. My main doubt with a 4-4-2 would be a partner that works well with Fletcher. In theory the Rhodes of old would be perfect but personally I think he’s a busted flush. Winnall is another one well suited but has looked very sluggish since his injury. Last season we had Hooper, Joao and Matias as options, but no longer. Whats Hooper up to these days...???
