adelphi1867 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Did no one notice that Wlidsmith was terrible in the 1st 45 mins v City?. He was indecisive and as quiet as a church mouse, Iorfa and Borner gave him some verbal's through out that 1st half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does alot of the donkey work that fans dont always see and managers appreciate. If we have money to buy better Monk would but he isnt half as bad as everyone make out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he does he is neat and tidy or makes a decent challenge but its the when he does. We have had much worse players but I don't remember one who was always as anonymous.

owlZfan84 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Any 11 which doesn't include.. - Da Cruz - Lees - Joey P - Dawson ...would be a good starting point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) Depends who is fit, a few looked out on their feet at the end on Wednesday. Fox in particular, who has only recently returned from injury and still building up fitness. Being pragmatic and assuming those who went off on Wednesday injured, aren't available and managing those returning from injury.... Dawson Urhoghide Iorfa Lees Palmer Hunt Bannan Windass Murphy Wickham FF (Ideally Borner, Lee, Fox and Fletcher would all be starting if fit enough) Edited March 6, 2020 by striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CF_Owl Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) Brentford are very good on the ball and have a pacey team all over the pitch. They generally play a 4-3-3 so I think we'll have to go 4-5-1 to make sure they don't overrun the midfield. Palmer and Fox will be pinned back by their wide forwards so we won't be able to push them up. Fletcher or Nuhiu up top with the wingers counter attacking is our best bet. Wildsmith (His shot stopping was good vs City and will need to do this again) Palmer Iorfa Borner Fox Lee/Windass Bannan Pelupessy Harris Murphy Fletcher Edited March 6, 2020 by CF_Owl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt keep getting picked if he was. Decided to sign 3 forward players in January because apart from Fletcher and possibly Forestieri they are that bad. Not one central midfielder signed even though he knew he wasnt going to be playing Hutchinson. Like I said not half as bad as he is made out to be.

Guest wilyfox Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 No idea. Doubt Monk has either. No Lee or Hutch. Probly too soon for Luongo. Hunt & Bannan can't fill a pair of big boy trousers between them, and i cringe at the thought of playing Joey Pelupussinboots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) Hard work givin a monkeys after this run. Would love to see some actual football being played to start with. Who starts won't matter, depends on how Monk sends/sets the team out. Edited March 6, 2020 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To not sign another midfielder in January may not have been the correct decision; perhaps the club expected Luongo and/or Reach to be back by now.

It's a difficult one yes. I think it would be a good chance to rest Dawson for a game and reward Wildsmith for a decent performance on Wednesday. I wouldn't say I'm 100% confident about either of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawson's rest came against Man City. Think its sends the wrong message to him to drop him considering Wildsmith made a mistake for the goal. At least Dawson now knows he has competition where as he didn't before as Westwood wasn't going to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I think Monks tactics mean Dawson gets exposed a lot more than he should. For a defensive coach I expected his formations to be more defensive, especially as the players can't seem to do the basics at the moment. Defensive football AND conceding goals is a road to disaster. I would like to see us try 5 at the back. If we're going to defend our way out of this rut then lets do it properly. Could always go 5-3-2 or 5-2-3 and try and go direct to the likes of Fletcher and Nuhiu or the diagonals to the wide men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss the likes of Reach and Luongo they are both good in the defensive to attacking transitions. They are our link players between the defence and attack. Think once they are back and along with Fox and Fletcher we will start to look alot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He dropped down and almost caught it but it flicks over and unluckily loops over and bounces in. A mistake would be like the shot Liverpool conceded v Chelsea :) Wildsmith had a great game v City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogers Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 11 men behind the ball, defend, and kick it anywhere long to get rid and get ready for more defending. Glimmer of hope a long clearance might fall to Da Cruz or FF to do something with. Or something different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
