Really is two evenly matched teams on paper. Quite possibly both playing 5212??? We shall see. Good to see Graham Roberts making a comeback. Don’t often say it, but Martin could have him for pace 1 3 Quote Link to comment

As I said earlier. I predict a lot of long balls as both teams that and bypass midfield. With them playing Bela over Pederson (injured?) I suspect they fancy Bela to have a go at Tanner. In fairness to Nige if we have gone back 3 / WBs it it’s a good match up with Brum playing Graham and Bela. 1 Quote Link to comment

And the best defender in the middle of the 3. If it is that leaves James & Bakinson in a midfield 2, which I think would be a disaster. Quote Link to comment

Can see no other reason for him being benched after saturday. Agree.. I was surprised he played at WBA and he has played poorly against them and Barnsley so I am assuming he was either bought back before being fit or is rusty and needs more time in training to be truly match fit 1 Quote Link to comment
ralphindevon Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Remember, Massengo had the hamstring injury in the summer, once back played every minute and tore it again. Not playing him for three 90 minutes in 8 days seems sensible to me. 3 Quote Link to comment
HappyClapper Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) Incredibly young bench. O’Leary, Massengo, Benarous, Scott, Bell, Pring, O’Dowda. Edited November 2, 2021 by HappyClapper Forgot pring Quote Link to comment

Out of interest, why? Is that a reflection of the personnel themselves or that’s it’s just two? With Brum playing a 5212, it could be a direct match up. How do you rate James, Bakinson, Weimann versus Gardner, Sunjic and McGree? Quote Link to comment
Denbury Red Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Bakinson just needs to come to the party - otherwise bring on Massengo! Quote Link to comment

elhombrecito Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Very disappointed both that Massengo isn't starting, and that Bakinson is... But I'll hold off going in to meltdown about it until I've actually seen how it works out! Quote Link to comment

Mr Popodopolous Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) Was thinking some kind of 3-4-1-2. Obviously 3 can become a 5 reasonably easily. 5-2-1-2- Weimann the '1'? In theory this could also help us avoid being overwhelmed in certain areas of the pitch...I'm not saying it'd be flowing football necessarily. Bentley Vyner Kalas Atkinson Tanner Bakinson James DaSilva Weimann Wells Martin In some phases, given he has played there before, Vyner can step into CM to create a loose 4-3-3/4-3-1-2... ...In some phases, Vyner and Tanner- or even at times, Weimann and Tanner- can double up on the right to block off or mitigate the 2 vs 1. Wells I don't really think will do likewise on the left though, so this could be an issue. Out of possession it might look like this... Bentley Tanner Kalas Atkinson DaSilva Vyner Bakinson James Wells Weimann Martin Or this... Bentley Vyner Kalas Atknson Tanner Bakinson James DaSilva Weimann Martin Wells Weimann can help out in phases- Wells pulling left, I have little faith in either offensively or defensively. Pring was fit enough to make the bench then. If Baker was playing the risk of being 2 v 1 on the left could be mitigated ie Baker behind DaSilva but that seems an issue to me...potentially. Birmingham have some useful individuals in there- Sunjic is not bad technically, is Gardner solid/experienced? Hogan I like technically speaking and Sanderson not an outlet? Bela too of course- talking technically. Jutkiewicz is of course a big threat at times but technically? Not so much. Would not mind though Massengo starting, Scott too. Understand why you might be cautious over Pring given Saturday. Edited November 2, 2021 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment
