Our best form came with our patched up team and Reid as a lone striker. That's why I'm convinced 3.5.2 suits us best. Keeps that five Man midfield. Brownhill Pack and Smith were outstanding at craven cottage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at Craven Cottage earlier this season too, and we were extremely organised that night, whilst being fluid/lively in our attacks. With our 5 in Midfield we flooded the middle of the pitch, meaning that Fulham really struggled to get a strangle hold of the game. Their only outlets were out wide most of the time, which we figured out quickly, enabling our full backs to stay compact snuffing out potential danger, and not allowing them any space in behind. What I'd give for this performance on Wednesday night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sessegnon will tear Bailey a ‘new one’ and he needs help. Neither Kent or Pato are disciplined enough. Another possible option is Bryan in the middle - for Walsh - and Pato on the left but I fear that would leave Mags a little exposed. At least Bryan helps cover when playing left mid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone else steps up. Desperately just need a win by any means possible to get some confidence back. Personally don’t think we will miss Pack against Fulham but Cardiff is a different matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Walsh and Smith are too similar. Your edited side is the one I would be very tempted to pick, but.... ....part of me is tempted to leave Diedhiou on the bench. Madness I hear, but perhaps we need to get back to pass and move to get our confidence up? Can always unleash a fresh Diedhiou for mast half hour? So perhaps Pato in behind Reid? Would stop them overloading us in the middle if Pato or Reid sit in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paterson Diedhiou We won't get overrun in midfield with that team. Our wingers will be able to attack like they should be, with that extra man in midfield as cover. Deidhiou is suited to the lone role. And Reid can find more space to get chances by arriving into box from deeper. I feel he has not been getting many chances for a while up front. I think Reid is so important to our triggers from the front, I’d rather sacrifice Diedhiou if I was gonna play one up topic our current form. Harsh on Diedhiou I know, but he was also tired after 60-65 yesterday. Against a passing team like Fulham he would have to more ‘doggies’ on his own.

Floatn Over Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Regardless of player selection and formation we'll be 12th man on the field, creating that special night game cauldron atmosphere (as against Man U, Swindon, Gas) as we can do, will be vital. Fair play to Leeds fans, they did that 2nd half and it made a difference but we have done and can do better. Hoping also for the right tunnel music at full volume.

RedM Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Haven’t read all this thread, just skimmed through but I think we need to go back to how we got us so high in the table. We need Baker back,(tick) and Korey in midfield, especially now that Pack is missing. We look like we can get onto the end of Magnussion’s long throws and Diedhiou looks like scoring (then tiring). We need to fit an on form Paterson into the team, but don’t put him out too wide. Brownhill needs to feature too. Personally I wouldn’t play anyone we got in Jan, not from the start anyway. Over to you Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brownhill has looked good in CM earlier in the season and JB is good going forward and doesn't get caught out of position so much. Kent could be OK in front of BW and Wright doesn't get forward so much and would cover better, LJ might go with Pato but the poor form of late might mean he misses out again. Be good to see Oneil get 20 minutes and I'd love to see Eliasson on for FD when he tires, be good to have some pace late on. Tough game, we need an improvement and some luck. That's th team I'd go for. Brownhill in the holding role, Bryan left of midfield, Kent on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 We havent won for a while. Pack is not in the team. Think its time to start Eliasson. Paterson not in form, Brownhill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowshed Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 16 hours ago, marmite said: I hope whoever we select that we don't play JB at full back. He is a great asset to the team but not in that position. He drifts inside when play is on the other flank and leaves his winger with acres of space to receive and control the ball. He is instructed to do it. City frequently do not go man for man. They screen and slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
