gurujuan Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Very underwhelming, but key to getting this to work, is the type of centre forward who will play ahead of him A lumbering target man type, and then it’s a pointless signing. Windass is going to need a quick mobile striker ahead of him, whom he can feed those little passes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Struggling to get a deal for around 450k over the line, doesn’t exactly bode well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that more to do with Wigan's financial problems and paying Rangers outstanding debts? We have to have to wait till they sort that out. I don't think its down to a problem at Wednesdays end. Whatever it is I wish they would hurry up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 He's a lesser replacement for Murphy. Alright I suppose but not the striker we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 He's a good player as a number 10. Not as good as Hooper but he's still pretty good and a bargain at that price price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, Monk's system seems to be a 3-5-2, with two wing backs and a no 10 making up the 5. Problem is then who plays the two wing backs - if Harris and Palmer, it leaves only a striker position for Windas which I don't think is his natural position.

In the 352 he would play in the two I think. I know people are looking at the formation against Leicester and concluding Brown is number 10 but I think he will play as a number 8. Linking midfield to attack. According to your theory the top 2 become wingers and I don't see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalowlisback Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Wouldn't he be winging eastwards? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was Browns strength was getting the ball in midfield and taking the game to the opposition, agree with you we have enough wide players, let's play him to his strengths.

Also didn’t look dynamic enough to play alongside a main striker in a pair Possibly he could play in the old Guy Whittingham role, or the one he sometimes played for us Sort of wide right, but not actually a winger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megsonstheman Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Not for me, didn't impress when on loan. Failed at rangers and wigan yet we are willing to pay a fee for him. Hope I'm proved wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are to play with wing backs, that’s probably the system which gets the best out of him, and the rest of the players. The target man needs to also be a bit more mobile than our usual type of target man, more like a Drogba, than a Giroud, someone who has the pace to run in behind Edited September 1, 2020 by gurujuan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
