miketh2nd Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I think even though we are going to a team with such a good home record and generally play one up front I still think we play best in a 4-4-2. The main reason I say this is because against Birmingham there is a big chance they will thrash us . if we go back to 4-5-1 I just can't see enough creativity and therefore losing our confidence from the back to back wins. It would be much easier for Birmingham to mark our 5 man midfield than have say wood and stead up front. wood seems to becoming to a bit of form and what not better place to start than where he did so well earlier in the season. Also feel we are less predictable in 4-4-2 then 4-5-1 where we heavily rely on wings but nothing ever comes from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brizzle Jordan Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 think i have more chance of playing than Ribs! You're probably right! However i'd like us to go with a bit of pace in the fullback areas for the game, Carey, McGivern and Macca all are far too slow imo and dont have good enough positional sense to make up for it.

Taunton_Red Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 McGivern and Pearson up against Burke. Pearson doesn't track back, he sits on the left and wanders inside and leaves the left back vulnerable, i'd probs play Foster against Burke for the pace factor but they got Redmond on the right hand side and he'd need tracking the whole game so its a dilemma for McInnes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind personally. Too many times these season we have played 4-5-1 in just to stay solid and has got us nowhere don't know if you meant this? Of course would be very happy with a point though. but I reckon since Andre has joined us and with fonts at LB we could actually pull off 4-4-2.

Also would swap wings for pearson and Bolaise. This game will be won in the midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miketh2nd Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 fair enough I think he had a great game and does seem to be one of those confidence players . I remember the derby game and he wouldn't even shoot inside the box(when 12 yards from goal) . Then against Cov he shot outside the box and wasn't a million miles away! But a lot of his runs were still from deep and he should of passed much earlier than he did won't get half the amount of time and space on the ball against Birmingham.

When Thierry Henry first started playing at juventus, he was a winger. I think Albert has the ability to be a striker, and because he's out of form, thought a change would be good for him.

I think Albert has the ability to be a striker, and because he's out of form, thought a change would be good for him. I do think there is a possibility that he could be a good striker also with his pace and skill but as I said before with being caught offside so much and being so off form. With every game from now being vital for survival I don't see the reason to take such a big risk also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Albert hasn't really shown any signs he can finish though. He has on many occasions. The Reading game this season showed he could when under pressure. Also look at the goal he scored against Pompey last season? Pure strikers finish.

That was at home against Coventry, away to forest when they had most of the ball he was crucial. Do you really think we will have much of the ball vs Brum?
