striker Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) The news of Smith being out, coupled with Gregory's suspension has knocked my duck off a bit. The thought of Paterson or Sow starting is just a waste of a shirt, not because they are bad players persee, but because quite obviously neither is a striker (and that debate is open re Windass too for that matter). We are the better team for 3/4 of the pitch, but very lightweight up front where it matters. Not that we will, but there is an argument for matching them up with a 4231/433 today. If we ain't got any forwards to play, seems silly playing someone so woefully out of position akin to playing with 10 men, when we have a dearth of midfielders available. I'd respect Moore for doing so. It's either going to be a long afternoon of disappointment or a comfortable 1-4 win for Wednesday. Fingers crossed today more in hope than expectation.

ChapSmurf Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Great post as always @Lord Snooty It's a game of football, so anything can happen on the day. On paper - even with players out - we've got enough to beat MK Franchise. Will we? I dunno, I'll tell you later on but I think it will be a tight game, maybe one goal in it. Draws kill you, so I would hope we just go for the jugular from the off. I can see a formation change on the cards too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should do something similar. I'd maybe look at bringing in James at LB in a back 4 of Hunt, Heneghan and Ihiekwe, pushing Johnson up higher and playing Windass on the opposite side. Paterson up front. He's not the most mobile, but he reads the game well and his spead of thought could get him in to the right areas quicker than his feet, if that makes sense. Bannan could play the number 10 role, with Fizz and Byers his more central partners. Oh, and Goalie wag, but Stockdale seems to play that role anyway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrie’s Left Peg Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Great OMDT as always M’lud Absolutely no clue what to expect today So many new players on both teams.

Prendo's boots Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 It'll be another entertaining game of many mistakes.. 2-2 and a ballistic meltdown post match on here whilst we more patient types give it a while for all the new uns to settle in and get into it!

Howmanyowls Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I'll take any win today. Maybe get the forwards running into the channels and stretch them, with the hope one of the midfielders can score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Probably take a draw tbh. I don't know, just feel like the squad is a bit imbalanced or something. The injuries aren't helping on that front, but I think we are missing one or two players to make everything click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I have a sneaking suspicion that Paterson might get MoM today. He'll score a couple, I can feel it in my watter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingOwl Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Theoretically we have enough today to beat an MK side who also have their injury issues and will set up differently to last season. 2-0 Patto & Vaulks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
