Aizoon Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 OK, lets draw a line under the Wolves game. We've not won there in my not inconsiderable lifetime and I doubt that I'll ever see it happen now, given that the clubs' paths are likely to diverge fairly drastically. What about Brentford? We've got a decent record there, and it should attract a good City following. Do we have a chance of one, or even three points? What changes should we make?

ciderup Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Judging by the state of their pitch last night on the tele and the weather, I wouldn't be surprised if it's off. Their pitch looked shocking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCAGFC Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Brentford are strong in each department and love to get crosses into the box, so I'd go for.... Parish Osborne, Flint, El-Abd, Williams Moloney, Pack, Elliott, Cunningham Barnett, Baldock Subs: Fielding Fontaine Wynter Burns Bryan Reid Emmanuel-Thomas We would be solid down the flanks without possession with 4 defenders out wide and in possession Moloney & Cunningham strengths are going forward. Pack & Elliott to sit and protect the our central defence. Barnett in to hold the ball up and bring Baldock, Moloney & Cunningham into play.

Carey 6 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 We must not go back to changing the defensive line every game like we did under McInnes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizoon Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 We must not go back to changing the defensive line every game like we did under McInnes. Agreed. Stick with a back line and let them learn to play together. Every successful side has done the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCAGFC Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Agreed. Stick with a back line and let them learn to play together. Every successful side has done the same. I would agree with you but Brentford use a lot of width and also push their full backs on, we will be overrun on both flanks. Now if we had a midfield who would help out, then that is a different matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I see the old chestnut of dropping JET has come up again. In fact, our forwards haven't dome badly, given our position. It's the lack of goals from midfield that stands out. So how do we fix that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveybadger Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 The pitch is rubbish so drop Jet? Wasnt the Tamworth pitch rubbish and he seemed to do ok there? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 We must not go back to changing the defensive line every game like we did under McInnes. Yeah we need to stick with it. We don't have better alternatives so can't change the back line constantly. Although at times McInnes must of picked names out of a hat. Clueless.

Harry Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I think the best chance of a result at Brentford would be for us to play a FIFTH CENTRE BACK. I mean, FOUR CENTRE BACKS was clearly not enough at Wolves, why not stick another one in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 What are people basing starting Barnett over JET on then? Just curious considering Barnett has not even shown a glimmer of anything worthy of displacing our top scorer. I know he has only had limited sup appearances but it's an awfully big shout claiming we should drop JET. We have bigger issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about Carey as holding midfield (Cotts has previous at this!!) So that's : Parrish El Abd - Flint - Williams Osborne - Carey - Fonts Maybe stick Maloney & Cunningham on the wings too.

I'm sure Brundle and Wilson could sit with Carey and then have Maloney and Greg on the wings. Spain don't need strikers so why should we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallumHussey Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Based On ? JET has been nothing but quiet the last two games. Barnett has something to prove and will no doubt put in the effort to prove it. Would like to see him get a fair few minutes against Brentford.

TV Tom Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I think it's a good idea to go back to the Osman days of playing 4 centre halves, far too much of a luxury as well playing a bloke who has only scored 18 goals and a dozen assists which is far more than the rest of the midfield put together, the stupidity of some posters on here is endless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
