FreshOwl Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Can’t see Smith starting at home. He’s more of an away player when we need the ball to stick up top. We’ll play a less direct game at home 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sykes Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I wouldn't drop Diaby or Palmer. I think a 2-man midfield would be dominated by Norwich. Beadle Iorfa Ihiekwe Diaby Famewo Vaulks Bannan Palmer Windass Ugbo Gassama 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swampyowl01 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 (edited) Norwich played 4231 against Ipswich. We defo need to have the same amount in midfield otherwise we will get over run. They pressed aggressively and had numerous options when taking free kicks around Ipswich's area. 3/4 different free kick takers all whom were not scared to have a shot at goal. Which is where theirs came from, direct free kick. Played their striker sergeant up front on his own with willing runners behind him breaking lines. Looked technically good and strong. Totally different beast to QPR. Made ipswich look ordinary! Edited April 7 by swampyowl01 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1952Owl Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Norwich are a very good team with a very good manager. They are near top. This will be a VERY tough game. Poveda out sadly. We miss him. Bernard out. Something odd there? Windass on subs bench as 2 games in 4 days too much? Worried about Ugbo. Isolated. Playing a different position. I would keep same back four as at QPR for familiarity. We have to be strong at the back & in midfield. No Marv! Oops! Beadle Iorfa Ihekwei Bambo Famewoo Pol Palmer Vaulks Bannan (not on left wing!!) Musaba* Ugbo (* start with Musaba, BUT deffo Gassama comes on around 60/65 mins. Tactical!)

SheffWed Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 IMO got to be starting Smith, they have two big experienced Centre backs in Gibson and Duffy and I don’t see Ugbo managing to get the better of them in the air, especially. Smith and Ugbo for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other advantage is playing with speed and pace around them , Duffy obviously good in the air but likely to struggle against pace / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always a case for bringing the pace on later after they tire a little, you hope. It’s a tough one, one thing is for sure we need to get at them.

GMOwl72 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Not sure it’s the best tactic to play Bambo at centre half against a very quick Sargent for Norwich. Ideally need some pace in there. Would also worry about a very old midfield of Bannan and Palmer playing a second game in 4 days against a Norwich side that looked very mobile against Ipswich. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did u not watch the game yesterday. Although prone to a mistake the one redeeming feature of his game is his pace. Had sinclair qpr striker in his bk pocket majority of the game. Did not give the guy a sniff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This a wind up? Bambo probably our fastest cb ? Potential iorfa too but he should also start Bambo has had some shocking games and is a little clumsy but he was great yesterday so deserves to play 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sargent different gravy for me though and any mistake giving Sargent a yard start will be punished imo. My opinion however and it’s Danny’s that counts in the end! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was immense yesterday and rightly deserves to start. We'll need three at the back to handle Borja and Savage. Borja is a tricky little player and we know how good Savage was before he got injured. I'd have Iorfa - Bambo - Ihiekwe as my back three personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MallorcaOwl Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 It's a tough call,Windass was off the pace I'm not counting the miss of the century cos sh*t happens, I would bring in Vaulks and Valentin for Palmer, and Windass. Povedo if fit, if not start with Gassaama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deano Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Windass has to play for me if fit, especially with Poveda out. For all Gassama and Musabas qualities they lack positional intelligence and can't link the play like Windass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
