alanharper Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 With such a limited squad in terms of fit and available players, would it have been better to: a) Select the team with a formation that suited who we had available, e.g. 442,451,433 or b) Play 352 anyway and shoehorn players into positions which aren't natural to them and end up playing 2 right backs at CB? I guess with a) we'd still have had to play either Palmer or Odubajo at CB anyway unless we gambled on a debut for Brennan, and probably Reach at LB. But b) showed us that Monk considers 352 the formation to go forward with but using attacking players at wing back rather than natural full or wing backs and full backs in the middle exposes their weaknesses especially when playing decent opposition so we don't really have the right, or at least enough, personnel to play it at the moment.

FreshOwl Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 If we’d scored before their penalty I reckon we would have gone on to win that game. Fairly solid but lacked bite up front. Missed Lee and his box to box play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t believe he is good enough and hasn’t been over his contract so feel it’s time to move him on. Edited July 1, 2020 by WalthamOwl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendaryswan Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Was worried when I saw wed had to stick a RWB in at CB,Palmers not a natural CB as it is so I assumed Iorfa would be overworked,but they did ok untill that stupid pull.They worked us more 2nd half and thats when they exposed our weakness on the night. Weve paid for not making the most of being on top in the 1st half and have a goal to show,as has been the story of our home form this entire season,2nd goal was the nail and it was too much ground to make up against a side with a depth of quality. Dissapointed,think we were worth a point on the night,but considering the makeshift back 3,maybe we just got done by their extra quality on the night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosborough-owl Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 When you play a back 3 with one of them a RB and the other one been a RW, we was always gunna concede goals. Thought we played well in spells, but they are top for a reason. They get results without been fantastic.. something we struggle with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem then would have been. Why did he change formation from the one that served us well in the last two games. People would have explained why as you did but then others would still not take it into account. The stick always has to be ebaten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonytoms Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 A positive for me - and I know the game was pretty much settled by the time he came on - was how good Alex Hunt looked. Can only bode well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
