Oops Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 I reckon this tried and tested formula might be the answer to our League 1 nightmare. Am I being old fashioned? Or has this formation suddenly become the ginger stepchild of modern football? Please give me your 4-4-2 formations, where the players know their jobs, the 2 strikers are ACTUALLY strikers, and we're not playing with at least 1 passenger when the opposition has the ball.

Gazred Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 I was thinking about 3-5-2. Im not sure any combination of 2 of our current CMs would be strong enough to win the midfield. Shorey wide left, Wagstaff wide right. Pack and Wynter deeper, Reid in the middle pushing on and JET pushed right up front with Baldock. Formation and line up could certainly do with a tweak whatever happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kaiser Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 I would just like to see us playing something other than a 5 foot bloke up front on his own marked by 3 six foot defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 I would just like to see us playing something other than a 5 foot bloke up front on his own marked by 3 six foot defenders. I wouldn't mind it, providing we supply him with the ball like earlier in the season and not just lugging it up to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportingmad0209 Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 4-2-3-1 If it's good enough for the heavy weights of European football, it should be good for us. The problem is the personnel. We need somebody up front who can hold up the ball, with a couple of quick attacking wide men in support. The players are subject to opinion, but here's a start. Fielding Maloney-Flint-Williams-Shorey Pack-Wynter Baldock-Reid-Wagstaff Taylor This can be converted into 4-1-4-1 if we are on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exiledinwatford Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Atyeo not even on the bench? You're Danny Wilson, aren't you? I think that even the great mans' loyalty would have been tested in these modern times and he'd be playing for Real Madrid or Barca. Don't get many third tier England internationals these days! Not me but how I enjoyed the Danny Wilson times....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportingmad0209 Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Dropping Emmanuel-Thomas then? I did say the players are subject to opinion, but personally I wouldn't play him. It looked a great swap deal with Anderson to start, but now I'm not so sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 I was thinking about 3-5-2. Im not sure any combination of 2 of our current CMs would be strong enough to win the midfield. Shorey wide left, Wagstaff wide right. Pack and Wynter deeper, Reid in the middle pushing on and JET pushed right up front with Baldock. Formation and line up could certainly do with a tweak whatever happens. The trouble with JET up front is he rarely runs into positions, so he'd offer as little support to Baldock as he does now. His goals seem to mainly come from rebounds or picking up loose balls on the edge of the box. (Which is why he should be there rather than taking corners) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His goals seem to mainly come from rebounds or picking up loose balls on the edge of the box. (Which is why he should be there rather than taking corners) Agree, he's certainly not going to run the channels or such like. I know his form has not been what it was at the start of the season but he does need to be closer to Baldock and let the midfield bring the ball forward. He's a matchwinner and whilst he hasn't been on fire recently if we can get the ball into his feet on the edge of the box rather than 30 yards out we might see a few more goals. That all said, we have been so blunt up front recently, why not drop both and start Taylor and Harewood given the tendency to hoof it long as much they seem to be doing lately.

Indeed. They may as well bring back Maierhoffer, or whatever his name was. He was about 7ft was he not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I belive he falls in the "big unit" category! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
