Guest wilyfox Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 6 minutes ago, Salmonbones said: The only reason I can think of to go with two is because i'd have liked to play Rhodes, and he's not going to be effective at all up front on his own. At least with Winnall he is a bit of a battering ram and drags the defenders about a bit. But then again why change? It doesn't give the players incentive to do well if they think they may be randomly dropped next game anyway. The challenge for Rhodes was to build on his showing at Forest. Hasn't done so. It's a shame. I really hoped that was his breakthrough moment, but he's gone back into his shell again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the weirdos that moan on social media but don’t bother to shift from their front room that need to pipe down Not sure I see the difference. In some ways you get a better view on the screen than you do at the ground. Really wish I could watch live though before anyone starts!!

His overall performance against Forest was no different to any of his others apart from finishing the chances. We all know he offers very little to an overall team unit but play him in 10 games he will probably score 4 or 5 goals The team performance as a whole suffers though in my opinion - it’s the quandary we have found ourselves in since we signed him The reason why Middlesbrough got rid, why Scotland don’t pick him and why Blackburn stayed mid table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but I can't go on the kop with my mates, i'm on the Cantilever with me dad" - Probably because our dads all remembered it being built for 66 and were proud that it was the first in England (the world?) to run the entire length of the pitch. I have to pull you up on one thing though. That Wednesday pale ale. It's nasty. My wife got me some for Christmas from the kids, I didn't have the heart to tell her I don't really like it !!!

Blatter Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I firmly believe we need to start with a three man central midfield of Bannan, Luongo and Lee, home or away. Call it 4-2-3-1 or 4-1-4-1 doesn’t matter as long as we don’t sit in too deep at home. If that means playing Winnall as single striker for 60 minutes I’m happy with that. Nuhiu for the last 20 minutes against tiring defenders though, in fact I wouldn’t change anything from last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 The vast, vast majority of top teams in this country play a 4-3-3/4-5-1 formation - Liverpool, Man City, Leicester, Manchester United, Arsenal etc. Like any system, it is how you play within it. It can be quite defensive or a very fluid, attacking system with lots of chances created. Does my nut in when people cry about the fact we are "only playing one up top". 4-4-2 can be as dull, boring and regimented as any system. At the end of the day, Monk has identified what he thinks we are good at - trying to be defensively solid and slowly but surely grinding teams down. Every now and then we will just overwhelm a side (Forest, Boro), but more often than not (and i think this is usually the case in the Champ) you have to battle it out a bit and earn the right to play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorian gray Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 1 hour ago, WalthamOwl said: Personally prefer 1 up front away. When at home I prefer us to set up more attacking rather than try and catch them on the break. However with the current choice of strikers we have to pick from I can’t see more than 1 of them starting. Really hope we get a new striker or 2 in ASAP. Would probably start with Winnall, Nuhiu should not be starting any games imo. So much more of a threat coming on when the other team are starting to feel the pace of the game. have to agree, winnall should start in a 'one up'.
