Fpcity Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 He's not a 5m player, but the way we've been playing isn't suiting his strengths. Last night we got crosses in and he played better. I think there's a mix of expecting too much from him after recent success of our strikers who were better all round players and playing a way not suited to him. He can get 20 a season but needs a change of formation and style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 How about Diedhiou with 2 wingers pushed high and a 3 man midfield behind to reduce the risk of when we lose possession- Might that be a better way of playing to his strengths? Bolded those I'm not sure about. For Sunday maybe: Maenpaa Hunt Webster Kalas Kelly Pack Watkins Brownhill Walsh Eliasson Diedhiou Watkins will seem an interesting choice but he can provide a bit of physicality on the right and did get 2 goals earlier in the season. Perhaps O'Dowda for Watkins? Or could set up like: Maenpaa Hunt Webster Kalas Kelly Brownhill Pack Walsh Watkins Eliasson Diedhiou Still doesn't feel a perfect fit and again O'Dowda/Watkins interchangeable in selection?

I agree about the fans recently. Some of the stuff I’ve seen on forums/heard at the ground has been absolutely embarrassing recently. People going personal about Johnson, our fans fighting eachother, punching horses when we were so quick to criticise the gas for it and aswell as that sarcastically jeering off our players.

Walsh came off injured last night so not sure if he would be fit enough for Sunday. I would go with a similar team that finished the game last night.

Is there an unwritten rule that says we only are allowed 2 fit and available central midfielders at a time? Fear it would leave us open in midfield that, and especially if we want to attack may play into Millwall's hands somewhat- we played a 4-4-2 up there in April, we had loads of the ball...and not a shot on target. Think you need 3 CM to counteract this if you want to go on the front foot despite their terrible away record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will LJ eventually learn 442 doesnt work?! 4-4-2 with two strikers and two out and out wingers is pretty much suicide in today’s game. Leicester only team in recent memory who have had success with it and they had Kante. As for Fammy definitely our best striker. The only one capable of getting into double figures in this league I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Paterson, Eliasson and Diedhiou then with a 3 in CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey 6 Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Diedhiou is a strange one, he's pretty good with his head when he gets a chance, creates quite a bit of power from headers, but doesn't win much in the air. I hope this is the start of him going on a good run. I just worry that our general game play suffers when he's in the side & players see it as an easy option to just lump it. 16 hours ago, cidered abroad said: At recent forum LJ said he was bought to partner Bobby Reid up front. So perhaps, he's been missing Bobby this season and needs us to find another partner from within the club? I took issue with that comment on another thread. A load of rubbish imo. Quote We signed Famara early on in the window, before we’d played any friendlies & seen how Reid would do as a striker. For us to be signing a striker to play alongside another player who hasn’t been played up front before doesn’t seem right to me, not sure I believe that!

Davefevs Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 @Carey 6 i screenshotted your post because I didn’t want to quote you and not have the context of what you were quoting. Yes, I agree. It’s the kind of thing LJ comes out with that sounds plausible, until you check it’s truth and realise he made it up to fit a situation.

This x 1000. Why buty players with ability only to worry more about the ability and strength of every other team rather than the one he has assembled.

Lanterne Rouge Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 The other thing to consider is his value when we`re defending. I swear one header away from our box last night reached the half way line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a Head Coach that selects Pato no matter how he performs and for whom last night’s goal will be proof he was right to do so. I actually believe LJ in that example, he had decided at the end of 2016/17 that Bobby was gonna be a striker, he had no need to see him actually do that role to know he was going with it in August.

Maenpaa Pisano Kalas Webster Kelly Paterson Pack Brownhill Eliasson Weimann Diédhiou I’d go similar to this, although I’d bring Hunt back in as I doubt Pisano is ready to play again so soon. I’d also stick with the formation we played in second half last night, i.e. Eliasson on left (gets him to the byline rather than cutting back all the time), Pato at 10 (play him there or not at all) and Weimann on right.

Glad to hear it.
