The midfield is desperate for a shake up, but with only Luongo not arriving back from international duty til later in the week, I suspect we'll see the same midfield we've seen so far for the mostpart, Hutchinson-Bannan-Lee. Can't see past him playing a 4-3-3. Bates will come in for Lees if he's not fit. Harris and Reach will be either side of Fletcher. Suspect Odubajo and Fox will get the nod at full back. Suspect Odubajo, is that his new name 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reach is a real wilting flower, bannan can't tackle or mark, Lee is a bit too sportsmanlike and gentlemanly. Only leaves Luongo capable of putting a foot in. I agree with you re missing Hutchinson in midfield. My preferred midfield three would be Lee Hutchinson and Bannan. However, in the absence of Lees I would hope switching Hutch to right sided centre back would not weaken us in defence and Luongo coming in for Hutch in midfield would not weaken us there either.

I do believe especially as the cowleys will have Huddersfields players fired up and all have something to prove bannan will be swamped in cm and be nullified. Hence why I would put him on the bench and go with Loungo hutch n Lee in here to start, we can always bring him on when spaces start to appear and they tire.

room0035 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I suspect a 4-4-2 Westwood Palmer/ Lees/ Borner/ Iorfa Harris/ Bannan / Lee / Murphy Rhodes/ Fletcher Bench Dawson, Thorniley, Odubaja, Luongo, Reach, Hutch, Winnall, Nuihu.

Yes he hopefully will have us all fired up and up for it. My point was more that in a packed midfield with a high press bannan becomes ineffective as he has no time on the ball or space. Hence why I was feeling starting with a more defensive /combative midfield would give us a more solid platform to start with, with bannan coming second half for maybe Lee or Loungo when spaces start to appear. I do think bannan is at his best when we're at home and need to break defensive teams down, as he gets lots of space and time on the ball to pick a pass.

0114 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I think he will play a 442, that’s what he played at Brum. This team lost 3 games from Christmas onwards playing a 442, so more than capable. Bullen decided 433 and for me it didn’t work and essentially became a 4141. If we do play 442 it’ll be interesting to see who partners Fletcher... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might get sharper with games...but Monk will surely want to pick a team that hits the ground running. Winnall and Monk both have the same agent, wouldn't be surprised if we saw more of him now.

Bouncing Owl Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Westwood Palmer Lees Borner Fox Lee Hutch Bannan Reach Fletch Harris Odubajo or Iorfa should be in the team but Fox is defending better at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Think I would quite like us to start playing 4-4-2. Harris/Murphy or Reach on the wings and possibly give Fletcher and Rhodes a go up front. Hope he plays Luongo in CM also.

I'm thinking tactically bud. It's like playing hutch as the holding midfielder at home against a side that turn up and park the bus. We would be better off playing another midfielder more comfortable on the ball that can help create, like Loungo or reach to help break them down. Likewise playing the two speed merchants of Harris & Murphy would also struggle against a team parking the bus as there's no space to exploit their pace , so (if available) the trickery and guile of Nando would be preferable.
