gurujuan Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 7 minutes ago, fingyfop said: In a 4-3-3 the wingers are very important in implementing a high press, they should often be the ones to begin the press on the opposition full backs, which should prompt the rest of the midfield to press. Although this is obviously tiring for the wide players, especially as they have to be getting behind the opposition in attack, then sometimes recover and help the full backs out back in the defensive third. May be part of the reason for getting more wingers in, allowing us to rotate the wingers and be a bit more active in winning the ball higher up the field. It's a great way to create attacking opportunities and box the opposites in. Perhaps, but where will the goals come from? Playing 4-3-3 with 2 wingers, means a single striker, and all the front three have to be capable of double figures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always seem to go for wingers that have no idea where the goal is If we are to play the system we used on Saturday, we need to be looking at double figures from our wide player Theres no pleasing you ...you've been banging on all season that we should use the loan market for young premier league players ....I've never heard of him but if he's an upgrade on what we have then what's not to like... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sultan_Pepper Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 If there's a chance of a loan with an agreement to sign in the summer it's a very good way to improve the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there is, but...... We have done pretty well so far, but to push on, we need to add some missing ingredients. Plan A, playing 4-3-3, or a version there of. It works for our back line and midfield, but the issue has been, getting more goals from the front line. Basically we’d need at least one of the wide attackers to be a striker who plays wide, plus now, a replacement for Fletcher. Plan B, playing 4-4-2. Here we would need, a replacement for Fletcher, and a striker who can play alongside Probably 2 box to box midfielders also Neither of those systems are missing another winger who doesn’t score. I don’t really have a problem with Sims, but is he what was needed? My concern is, that we don’t do what we’ve done every transfer window since Wembley, and that’s duplicate positions we already have strength in, while ignoring the areas in which we are short. All I ask for every window, is that our recruitment is targeted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing 4-3-3 with 2 wingers, means a single striker, and all the front three have to be capable of double figures You're asking for something there that we've achieved only once since 1991 and three times since 1973. That last occasion (2006/7) we actually had four get into double figures and it helped us to the heady heights of a modest 9th in the Championship. Setting goal targets for players is pretty pointless most of the time. There really is not that much of a strict link between such things and team performance. For example, when we last had someone get 20 in a season, we finished 15th in League One. The last time we made the play-offs, our top scorer had an unremarkable 12. Back in 1992, when we finished 3rd in the entire league, our second leading scorer managed only 9 and the next highest was 6. Until last week, Leeds were top of the division and their individual scoring numbers are pretty mediocre overall.
