Curr Avon Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 I'm hoping for a return to the back four that served us well at Cardiff, accompanied by a midfield that can tackle and offer forward options. It'll never see the floodlight of day, but how about Bentley Hunt Vyner Kalas Dasilva Bakinson Nagy Rowe Semenyo Martin Wells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLRed Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 For me Wells is wasted and cuts a frustrated figure on the left of a three. That formation suits semenyo but not Wells, hence the lack of goals. i want to see us go back to two up top with Wells and Martin and utilise semenyo and diedhiou off the bench. Also need to get pato behind the front two on edge of the box as he gets lost in midfield aimlessly running around. 3-5-2 for me with two box to box and pato AM. .................DB................ ...ZV.........AM..........TR...... ..JH....AN.......TB......JD..... .....JP....... ..CM..................NW...

One of the reasons that Nakhi may appear frustrated is because we don't give him the service in front of goal and a stronger midfield three could change that by turning over possession, and passing through the lines.

In the QPR thread I went with a 4312, but that diamond of Pato, Martin and Wells is something I’d like to see whatever the other 7 outfield players are. It’s all 3’s best positions.

I’d play him tomorrow night (give Dasilva a rest) and although he’d be up against Osayi-Samuel I’d tell him to be really physical with him and risk a yellow because Jay could come on. With 5 subs I think you could risk that tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we lose a lot on both defence and attack with Rowe in for Dasilva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would suit Semenyo's direct runs into the 18-yard box. I'm certain that Antoine will win a penalty sooner than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully agree with this, I believe we need to play with 2 actual CM's and think Nagy and Bakinson could be a solid pairing. Both are good on the ball and can break up the play, this then gives Paterson more freedom to get forward and hopefully give some much needed service to Wells. Semenyo can bring the energy from the bench, which will hopefully bring him a goal and give him that much needed confidence in front of goal. I just hope we don't see O'dowda and Pato in a midfield 3 unless it's due to injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Bakinson will probably not play, Wonderboy is a ?. Dont think we have any options, COD and Pato has to play. Two young players on the bench, will DH play one of them from start ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunt, Paterson & Nagy all desperately need a game off & we are asking Semenyo to play a lot, too. I’d start with Mariappa (at RB if Kalas is fit, CB if not), Brunt (I know he has been poor, but has had a light workload compared to say Nagy, & unlike Bakinson or Massengo is fit) & O’Dowda but otherwise your side is what I would do.

TonyTonyTony Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 That Osayi-Samuel player is dangerous on the wing, so we need to setup to watch him carefully. JD will have his hands full. Other than that Pato needs a rest, as does Taylor Moore. Id go 433 as we look better in that formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if he’s tired or just he's become ineffective (from an individual creativity point of view) within the current team set-up and style. Just taking the 3 midfielders, Bakinson, Weimann and Pato is a very different dynamic to Nagy, O’Dowda and Paterson. In the above you can see the changes. Whether there’s a strong link I don’t know, but he’s not been as good as he was earlier in this season. Perhaps he’s the “fall-guy”, he’s the luxury player not providing any luxury. Or maybe someone else is brought in to get Pato on the ball in threatening positions. Interesting challenge for Holden. His hands have been tied in some respects with injuries and Covid. Let’s not forget also that there is little time on the training ground to do much work to tweak and drill things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t profess to understand the game in quite as much technical detail but do think Paterson is simply tired out. Vyner is our only ever present but Paterson is the only other player to have been on the pitch for every single league game aside from him (interestingly his only sub appearance amongst those 14 saw him & Semenyo come on & turn the game at Huddersfield). He has played 1151 minutes so far, Hunt 1159, whereas no other outfield player bar Vyner has even played 1000. Like Nagy, who started 8 games in November compared to the non international players’ 5, we are currently asking a hell of a lot from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finley_Smith10 Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Dependent if Kalas is fit...Holden’s interview seems that he maybe be not fit enough just yet Bentley Hunt Vyner Kalas JD Bakinson Nagy Odowda Pato Wells Martin 4-3-1-2 with Semenyo and Fam coming on in the second half. Got a good blend of players in that midfield and a lot of fluidity (can go 4-4-2 if necessary for example) although it must not just be me who can’t wait for a midfield of Bakinson/Williams and Walsh 1-1 I reckon it’ll be tonight.
