CourteenerOwl Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Any variation of 4-2-3-1 at Sheffield Wednesday becomes 4-5-1. So for that reason no. When Moore goes, the new manager will immediately play 4-4-2 and simplify things and we will start to win games. Shame we have to put up with another 6/8 weeks before things get worse. Complete waste of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatter Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 It’s the lineup we should see every game fitness permitting. A proper back four and a well balanced midfield. Attack could be better but it’s what we have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying for one second it's perfect, just that it might be worth just going with it for 5 games straight and taking it from there? Isn’t this how we were playing when Gregory was completely isolated? Corbeanu hugs the right hand touch line when played on the right and Shodipo climbs inside the right backs back pocket. I think Gregory would just get isolated again. I do like that defence and midfield but the attack doesn’t work for me so I would like to see us go 4.4.2. for a bit. Get back to basics and build from there. Also, anyone putting Shodipo in there starting eleven hasn’t got any eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't get overrun by most teams at this level with 3 in midfield, especially at home. We will get nowhere if nobody in the midfield has enough composure to control the ball regularly or weight a pass to the benefit of a team mate receiving it. Playing with fear is what is holding us back as it is. 5 at the back at home to the likes of Lincoln, 18th for shots on goal in the division this season, live a little try to play attacking football. We shouldn’t but we do almost every game. That’s without playing more attack minded wingers/forwards. If you’re to give them the freedom to attack, you need a solid base and that IMO isn’t playing Bannan in the three. He’s fine in a three if you have wide players that are less attack minded, such as Hunt, Johnson etc. I guess I just don’t see any 5 being effective if 3 are creative outlets. You just get out thought by worse players. I’d rather win the middle of park and give freedom to forwards to attack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepcar_lights Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 100%. That lineup makes sense. I'd love to see us use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First and biggest fail for me Palmer at left back and no disrespect to him , but FFs Wednesday , we have needed a lefted footed left back for over two years! Lost track of the number of fans complaining about square pegs in round holes !,, We dont have a sodding left footed left back on the books, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shetland Owl Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 We need Paterson to support Gregory. He seem to be the only one that stays close to Gregory and playing two wings is fine but Gregory is not a tall powerful centre forward. Other than that its a good team. When Windass is fit would play him with Gregory and Paterson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
another1bitesthedust Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 4, 4, 2 for me. Think like most the defence picks itself until we can bring a left back in. I wouldn't start out and out wingers though, my midfield would be Johnson, Bannan, Adeniran, FDB. When/if Massimo comes back, push Bannan on to left midfield instead of Johnson. This way it would allow us to bring Windass in to support the 33 years old Gregory and have someone to run in behind. Wingers can be brought on as the match progresses if needed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This completely agree we don’t need 2 wingers on the park at the Moment , Dele and Adeniran are attacking a lot so we don’t need a extra winger that doesn’t work back and leaves us exposed, that’s how teams have been hurting us At times we have had the midfield attacking, two fullbacks and sometimes Iorfa as well , one long punt and we are caught out Our shape has been non existent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, TBH, you were spouting about how Wing would be our saviour the other week. Then, suddenly you leave him out of your squad without one iota (not Iorfa) of explanation, "methinks thou protesters too much". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owl ball 1980 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 That's not a bad squad for league 1, we should be winning games comfortably. Can't go wrong with 4-4-2. We have tried all other formations but not this 1 as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morepork Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) I think this is a team selection lots of us have considered and would like to see. My issue with this is we need to be defending much higher up the field than we have if we're going to employ wide forwards as we've seen time and time again, on those rare occasions when we're in possession the entire forward line is isolated collectively and individually. Add to that, defensively, teams have found it easy to progress the ball through the centre of midfield, again because we've defended too deep. We needed Hutch and Iorfa to be reading the game better than they have been, we're slow to react and not capable of defending higher up the field IMO, sadly. I like this midfield trio, they are dynamic and athletic in Adeniran and Dele and Bannan adds passing range and creativity. Bottom line for me, however much I like the line up is we need to get some defensive stability, to stop conceding the number of chances we currently are, I don't see us doing that with our players in a 4-3-3, unfortunately.
