old_eastender Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Like to to see Harewood starting today alongside Baldock, with JET still in a free role behind. Would need to sacrifice Bryan or Wagstaff to play 3 CMs but we would have much better chance of retaining possession with Harewood up front from the inevitable punts forward.

Who Are Rovers? Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 wouldn't do that, would play it like this. Parish O'Connor, Flint, Williams, Shorey Pack, Elliot Bryan JET Wagstaff Baldock This side, 4-2-3-1, with fast counter attacking football, would be our best bet personally.

fka dagest Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'd like to see Harewood start too. I feel we'll have more chance of retaining the ball in the kind of areas we want to be. The last time we put in a decent 45 mins was in first half of the Rovers match was when Harewood started. I'd even go so far as to drop Baldock because if he's not scoring then he's really offering nothing else at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob k Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 wouldn't do that, would play it like this. Parish O'Connor, Flint, Williams, Shorey Pack, Elliot Bryan JET Wagstaff Baldock This side, 4-2-3-1, with fast counter attackipng football, would be our best bet personally. Elliott would be nowhere near my starting line up, looked like a lost boy with no understanding of his role Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordie Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 If we are going to play hoofball like we did tue then I would start with Harewood also, he is a bit of a focal point and can bring the likes of Baldock and JET into play with his hold up play, the only downside to this is it will encourage us to hoof it even more so than we already are and I personally want to see the ball kept on the floor but moved with pace .

Taylor10 Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I would go Parish Moloney Flint Williams Shorey Reid Pack Elliott Bryan JET Baldock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted September 21, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'd like to see something like this: Fielding Carey Flint Williams O'Connor Reid Pack Bryan JET Baldock Harewood Think we'd benefit from Carey's experience at the back and Harewood's strength up front whilst still allowing JET the free role he is so dangerous in.

Red-Robbo Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 wouldn't do that, would play it like this. Parish O'Connor, Flint, Williams, Shorey Pack, Elliot Bryan JET Wagstaff Baldock This side, 4-2-3-1, with fast counter attacking football, would be our best bet personally. Didn't really work out when the outfield lined up like that on Tuesday for the first hour. I'd prefer Moloney to O'Connor, so we have someone with a bit more speed on that flank and Reid over Elliott, who didn't really get into the game.

Welcome To The Jungle Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 wouldn't do that, would play it like this.

Did you intent to play Bryan on the right and Wagstaff on the left. With overlapping full backs that could work well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I doubt Harewood will start for 2 reasons. We're away meaning Swindon will almost certainly come onto us. This should play into the hands of both JET and Baldock. We struggle when teams sit back against us. This is why we see a lot of long balls as there are no options into midfield. Baldock has scored all his goals away and that's no coincidence. Secondly, if he starts Harewood as well as Baldock and JET, what are the attacking options off the bench? Harewood probably won't last 90 minutes. When Taylor is back and involved, he may choose this for home games as you can probably squeeze 90 minutes out of a combination of Harewood and Taylor.

nickolas Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 352 is the way to go. Parish Carey Flint Williams Maloney Reid Pack Cunningham JET Baldock Harewood This way we retain 3 in centre midfield. This is the ONLY formation i've seen us use in the last 3 years that even remotely gives us a chance of retaining posession properly, whilst not being over run defensively. 352 is also not a defensive formation nomatter what anyone says. Do it SOD!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordie Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 He ain't playing so that's that answered , just hope we can get the ball down and play with pace , to be fair the pitch looks excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
