I’d rather have 1 up top and a DM. Tonight having 2 up top we’ve been completely overrun in the middle (if we have a midfield?!) and they’ve not had much service, but also I haven’t seen Nagy so he may be able to solve this.

Took a quick look at that Leeds team, beats me why they don't start with Costa and Clarke in the League! Nketiah too in due course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brann-red Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Has to be said that when they attack they’re finding lots of space between wright and Moore - then between the midfield and them also . I’d be amazed if they don’t score more then again fully expect us to also . 5-5 again anyone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveybadger Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Asan aside, Just watching the cricket - Glos v Hants - and Marcus Trescothick just trolled the Gas as the aerial camshowed very few supporters at the men. Marvellous!* *disappointed to learnJames Bracey supports the other lot though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed- fully agree. Overrun in the middle sounds right, feared this might happen pre game. QPR are decent but not special and not tiki taka- 2 centrally v Fulham or Leeds again or Brentford??

Red Exile Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Cracking first half. First things first - Massengo looks a tidy player. Not convinced by Wright. Smozics (spelling?) looks poor I'm afraid. Semenyo unimpressive for me. Walsh made at least one crucial mistake. Fam immense. GreatHunt goal. Rowe a proper leader. Quality. All to play for. Great City turn out. QPR epic failure to attend. No one here from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickolas Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 No matter our players LJ just cant get a midfield 2 to work.

Doesn't really work at good levels anymore, certainly not as a proactive shape- believe me it's not just us! Cowshed explained it on a thread a while ago. It's actually a fairly counterattacking/hard pressing shape these days but perhaps more defensively minded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odd decent touch but he’s not really taken the game by the scruff of the neck yet. I’m hopeful he will look a bit different once he settles...

I do believe will need 3 in the middle in order to play two up top now however, one of them being Nagy, whom on Saturday's showing is excellent at screening the defence. I think we'll see a lot of 3-5-2 this season, and I hope we go with the same system that we played on Saturday against Brum, in the league.

Not just alright but can be very good actually! Not old school 4-4-2 though. League One maybe but certainly not above- not if we wish to control the middle.
