Ciderarmy23 Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 For me, we have to go back to a 4-4-1-1 with Paterson in the hole. My team would be: GK - Fielding RB - Pisano CB - Flint CB - Baker LB - Kelly/Magnússon RM - Brownhill (If O'dowda's fit i would move Brownhill to CM, but not sure who for) CM - Smith CM - Pack LM - Bryan CAM - Paterson ST - Reid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would also be my team and for what’s its worth I wouldn’t have Kent on the bench but Eliasson. Take the fine from Liverpool and let’s give our own lad a chance, I think we can all agree if NE came on he’d but in a much better shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good, but i would like to see us try a front 2 of diony and woodrow? One once cost someone 8 million you know, and the other has played for england youth teams.

JoeAman08 Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 It is tough because we will probably have to go direct at some point so should we just do it from the start? Do we start with 4 in midfield if COD is back pushing Brownhill centrally? I’d probably go with this 4141 Fielding Pisano Flint Baker Kelly Pack COD Smith Brownhill Bryan Reid Also if COD not fit I would probably give Eliasson a go but that is doubtful maybe Pato wide right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the reason for having Reid up front and Patterson in behind in the No 10 role is because that's when we played our best football a few months ago. Patterson can almost drift between that No 10 free role where he is best and can create and also help out in midfield when required. Just gives our midfield a bit more support and resilience which was clearly lacking yesterday and in previous games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Fielding Pisano Flint Baker Kelly Brownhill Smith Pack Paterson Bryan Reid Essentially a 4-3-3/4-5-1 hybrid, it can offer control in midfield and security- Paterson would have license to drift inside and go behind Reid, Pisano for this game would be instructed to be the more defensive of the fullbacks- that 3 though is a mix of energy, security and yes ability on the ball IMO. A sort of counterattacking game, that also makes good use of the ball... The other excellent benefit of it, is it can morph into the 4-4-1-1 which served us so well for about 2 months or so earlier in the season.

dunsteral Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 I think we have tried all the combinations with this group of players since the turn of the year and in the main it hasn,t worked, we have been pretty ineffective in several of the games. So i would love it if we could try something different. Unfortunately looking at the names on the bench we haven,t really got anything different to try. Maybe Duric on from the start with eliason providing the crosses. the only player we have got who would be something different is O'dowda so hopefully he will be back if not this week, next week. As long as it is possible always believe, the other teams seem to be helping us out as best they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cannot play with a two in midfield. Get over run left right and centre. Poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does JB stand so far off his man when the opposition has the ball. Game after game it appears easy for the opposition to hit diagonal balls and for the winger to bring it under control. Is this just bad positioning or is there a tactical reason for this? For someone held up by the club as one of the best in that position the opposition seem very confident to launch a high percentage of attack’s down his side.

It's the atmosphere that they won't cope with. We all know the Den holds 20K but with 16K Millwall fans in there they'll make it sound like 60K. Intimidating place and we need to roll our sleeves up and get stuck in. Sadly I can't see this group doing that. Will crumble. At least a few beers around London Bridge for the Merseyside Derby beforehand is worth it. Dreading the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know that would be a likely outcome for Millwall with that team, setup but it wouldn't help us?? Seriously though, we tried it at Barnsley, with Wright in place of Flint the only difference and where did it get us...We would have similar at Millwall but they are a lot more clinical than Barnsley so we'd be in big trouble IMO.

I think part of the conundrum is we are in poor form but it is really hard to see changes from the teamsheet that people want and would make sense. I think we have to try something different on Saturday. I don't mind whether that is the formation suggested by the OP and seeing if that tightens us up or Eliasson on the flanks. I don't think Paterson and Reid upfront is the answer on Saturday - when we've played that formation we've done well against teams that come at us but not so well at teams that sit back and play as underdogs, as Millwall did. It's not going to win me popularity contests but I'd be tempted to suggest Diediou and Djuric up-front for this one. Reid either sitting behind in a midfield 3 or on the bench.
