As long as we stop trying to desperately force it long every possession DM can get our midfield firing again and we may finally see some quality chances for Rhodes to polish off!

trev Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Borner needs to play. He's our best defender with the ball. He's in form too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Don’t think it will take him long to realise people like Kachunga, Pelupessy and Harris aren’t up to it and we need a new number one especially if Westwood is out. Hope Rhodes gets to start the majority of games as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelerian Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 FML the amount of people trying to shoe horn Bannan into the side somewhere. STOP IT! The 1st thing Moore should do is work out where the goals are going to come from, and play those players. And that does not include Bannan or Harris in any way, shape, or form. Goalie - who cares, they are all garbage. CBs - Borner and Hutch, if we are playing the ball out from the back. FBs - Penney and Osaze. The 2 - Luongo and Shaw, giving energy and mobility with defensive awareness. Both can chip in with goals too. The 3 - biggest problem is the number 10 position, but would have to be Brown. Windlass on right, Green or dare I saw it Reach on left. 3 out of those 4 won't contribute enough goals, but should do OK. Striker - Rhodes or Patterson. Its not great, but its the best chance we have of scoring goals. Scoring goals will win games. Winning games will win points. Winning points could save us from relegation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpowl Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 If fit Westwood palmer Lees. Dunkley. Uroghide Hutchinson bannan green./ Harris Paterson Reach Windass/ Rhodes couple I couldn’t call in green or Harris and Rhodes or windass think the formation could work even though I don’t like bannan be as far back if his role was more fluid I’d be ok also I don’t like playing reach central but he could play there giving more pace out wide 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I’ve had a look at all of the suggested lineups on here and don’t think it will be easy to play his desired formation right away. I just don’t think we have the personnel. Can’t wait to see what happens on Wednesday though and up until this AM I was dreading it so that’s some good news right away!

Jim Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Racing certainty that Moore will look to start Brown and Rhodes more often than not given his comments today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraschenbern Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Wildsmith Palmer Lees Borner Penney Hutch Shaw Harris Bannan Reach Windass Loads of options in loads of positions. CB I'd be tempted to put Hutch in there for Lees, but Lees has done little wrong recently. Uroghide, unlucky to not be in there too. Pelepussy and Luongo both options for the defensive midfielder roles. Harris, Green, Reach, Kachunga, even Penney all options for the winger/inside forward positions. Windass, Rhodes and Patterson "could" all suit playing up top as long as others get in and around them. Gives us different ways of playing at center forward. Bannan finally gets to play somewhere where he can break teams down in the last third. Also option of playing Brown in there too. And possibly young Hunt. I kinda like it. Might encourage us to get the ball wide and get it in the box too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st thing Moore should do is work out where the goals are going to come from, and play those players. And that does not include Bannan or Harris in any way, shape, or form. Considering that most of the positive play in the last four or five years has run through Bannan in some way, I'm not sure that plan is going to work out. Strikers need more help with service, not less. I'm not sure how benching the most important playmaker in the side is going to help with that. For what it's worth, I think we've already seen that an isolated striker doesn't work with the current lineup - and it demonstrably hasn't worked for Rhodes here. I think we'd be in for two months of slog trying to shoe horn it in and make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack of Clubs Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 The fact we don't have a LB kills any formation we try. It’s absolutely criminal not to have a true LB at the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the point is that we just don't create anywhere near enough, because of him. People rattle on about him being our top creative player. But is he? Really? Maybe, but only because he is seemingly undroppable for some reason, and takes all set pieces. We need an improvement on this player. We need a central midfielder who can really affect the game. And people suggesting he be a left winger in a 4231 is as laughable as it is scary. Wake up sheeple!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls-Fan Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I often read on Owlstalk people complaining about round pegs and square holes, and then you look at a predicted line up thread and It’s usually 6 pages of different players in different positions. Not having a pop at posters I think it’s our players fault that a) aren’t consistent in a set position or b) don’t have a defined position. Like our club captain Bannan, Paterson, Windass etc. We seem to have a lot of utility players and not specialists. Anyway that’s a long winded way of saying I have no idea what would be best in Moore’s 4231. I typed the below out and now think it doesn’t look right. So will wait to see what the big man comes up with tomorrow! Windass Bannan Brown Harris Hutch. Shaw Penney Borner Lees Urhoghide Wildsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowbelly Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Bannan alongside Shaw in the two I reckon. He naturally drops deep anyway so putting him farther forward would be a waste as he’d drop back. More importantly is the fact he needs the movement of the 3 + CF in front of him to take advantage of his passing range - that’s how we’ll get the best out of Bannan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malek Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Big fan of 4-2-3-1 formation. It is modern, encourages possession based football and very flexible if you know how to play it. First signs seem to be very encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
