MC Risk Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Not sure what anyone else thinks about this given our current plight and the fact we seem bereft of goals this year (cardiff and preston apart), Is it too early for Maynard to start? but i think its now time to change it and play our two best finishers in a 4-4-2 from the start, I would like to see us line up like this tomorrow James Carey Caulker Fontaine Mcallister (fitness pending) Adomah Elliott Johnson Campbell-Ryce (cant believe im saying this) Pitman Maynard At least this looks a little more of a goal threat on paper, with genuine pace in Maynard and adomah.....and hopefully Campbell-ryce can be instructed to get the crosses in rather than trying to beat his fullback three times Maybe a little early to gamble on Maynard from the start, but if we lose tomorrow he surely has to start on Saturday Thoughts?

bcfc_Jamie Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Agree with the formation but not the team you've picked. James Carey Caulker Fonts Macca Albert Elliott Cisse- done nothing wrong IMO been our best player for the last few games Woolford- give the lad a chance, was scunnys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjak Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Does anyone know the current situation with Steads injury, I cannot remember how long he is out for. (Injury updates on the main forum aren't particularly current) I would love to see a Maynard/Stead strikeforce, but I guess thats one for the future, if they can both remain fit.

Portland Bill Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 At sometime in a game I would like to see Ivan given a run in a central position. I just feel that if we can get him the ball in the "hole" he can run at the central defenders. It's worth a gamble,sometime somewhere. Can remember Gordon Owen doing this all those years ago and his running at big centre halts with pace scared them to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can remember Gordon Owen doing this all those years ago and his running at big centre halts with pace scared them to death. Interesting thought about Ivan. He usually runs until he goes over the white line anyway so if he's in the middle perhaps he will run it straight into the net!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I guess only KM and the coaching staff know how near Nicky Maynard is to full fitness and the fact that he's played around 30 minutes in both his appearances so far suggests that he's not that near. I understand the argument of starting with Maynard and replacing him when he's knackered, but for me he should stay a sub until we are confident that he can play for at least a minimum of an hour. What I understand much less is why Pitman isn't starting instead of him, I think KM has gone back to his first selections of this season by playing Clarkson behind a main striker in a 4-4-1-1, the defensive solidity of which is also re-emphasised by Cisse (rightly, IMO) starting instead of Johnson. However Keogh, hard worker that he is, isn't exactly prolific and hasn't been throughout his career, either, so for me it should be either him or Clarkson as the withdrawn second striker if he chooses that formation, behind a poacher like Pitman or when fully fit, Maynard.

Robbored Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Any combination of City strikers won't be successfull without decent service and Pitman and Maynard are not exactly hard workers. Given the right service I'm sure they could form a partnership but I don't see that happening tomorrow night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errr......,? wasnt really a formation thread, more of asking an opinion of whether we should take a gamble on Maynard as indicated by the thread title......i just included the team i would like to see!!!
