Simon bristol Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 It appears deano wants to play a 352 for next season, there may be one or 2 in, but as it stands who would you have as the starting 11? for me bentley moore kalas baker vyner Dasilva Morell nagy walsh diedhou wells thats assuming fam is still here, which doesnt seem likely at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finley_Smith10 Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 I’d like the look of Pato and Palmer playing number 10s behind wells more like a 3-4-2-1 Bentley NewRB,Kalas,New CB,Moore,Dasilva Walsh, New CM Palmer, Pato Wells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 This has to be Palmers chance. He should be told he will start the first 5 games regardless, and see what he can do. The 20 minutes he had against PNE he was damn near untouchable. More of the same please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 I think we just go bold & brave, given the midfield options we’ve got. We have no ‘experienced’ CM guy at this level and I don’t trust Nagy. So I’d go with the following (on the assumption we’re losing NE & FD) : Bentley Kalas-Moore-Baker Hunt - Walsh - Morrell - Dasilva Palmer Weimann - Wells GK & Back 3 picks itself. Paterson would be Palmers back up. Vyner to back up Hunt or the CB’s. I’d keep Pring to back up Dasilva. Massengo & Nagy back up CM’s. We lack up top, but Semenyo would be the back up there. Weimann gives you the legs that Palmer doesn’t in the effort to press high. Palmer given free reign. Walsh & Morrell both control tempo but also have licence to roam (providing one stays). Moore can play out. Wing backs high. We’ll lose a few games. But we’ll win a few, it’ll hopefully be exciting and also does the job of playing academy lads, Morrell starting with plenty of minutes for Vyner, Pring, Semenyo.

Dr Balls Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 After everything else that’s happened 3 at the back seems most likely, plus wing backs. Wells will be up front, probably with Weimann and one other (Palmer or Pato) behind him. It’s the midfield 3 that’s the real conundrum. A lot of similar players, and no one with any height or much bite. A commanding central midfielder seems a must but LJ gave Henriksen his marching orders!

steviestevieneville Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 It’ll be interesting to see what DH does with szmodics . I know it was only league one last season but he certainly shone at posh. Holden did say he wants a high tempo, pressing to win the ball back ASAP .Szmodics gives us that high energy from the front.

I must admit GC, I ummed and aahed about this one. In my 3-4-1-2 formation, I’ve got Palmer as the 1 behind the strikers. I was this close to putting Paterson in there, but I went with Palmer, almost as a last chance saloon. A chance to turn it on under a new boss and with a free role. If he doesn’t perform, Pato is straight in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red & Gold Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 I personally really dislike 352 - but appreciate that others seem to love it. I just feel it only works if your wide centre backs are who are, not just comfortable on the ball, but very attack minded. Prepared and able to overlap, comfortable dribbling and taking on a player and have good pace and energy. They need to play as the extra wide player in attack when the ball is on that side of the pitch. Sheffield United do it excellently and so did we under SC. I don't think we have the players for that e.g. NB, AW and NB although Moore could potentially be one of them. However, without two of them I think it can become a rigid and turgid formation. I know I am in the minority but I thought one of the issues we had last year was that we had a squad assembled for 4231/433 (e.g. a vast number of wingers and No.10s including our biggest assist threat in NE), but we were to determined to play 2 up top, be that 352 or 442, this is despite our main strengths and balance of the squad assembled. E.g. NE couldn't fit into that and other players such as CO'D got shoehorned into unnatural positions (centre mid). 442 didn't help that much ether as NE needed greater protection than you get from playing with 2 centre midfielders and playing as a winger against most oppositions who play 451 meant we were out numbered so he would have to sit in narrower to try and compete numerically and in turn diminishing his attacking threat, and in turn expositing his defensive weaknesses. It's probably why our possession stats were so low. Equally, I am not sure our strikers suited a 442 e.g. they were all generally quite similar - play on the last man - strikers. We don't really have a link up, drop in the hole front man to complement the other one. Thus we ended up playing with straight lines which are easy to mark and create little space. People see 4231 as being quite defensive but a settled attacking midfield 3 of NE. KP & AW/JP with one of Fam/BA/NW upfront would have had pace, width, counter attacking ability and got the best out of our biggest threat in NE. For me, last year's team should had been built around him. He could had been as effective for us as how Mosses and Sinclair was for Palace back in the day. To late now as he will be off I am sure. Anyway, football is a game of opinions and all in the past but 352 does concern me if entertaining football is what we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
