We`d lose the attacking side of the position sure but defensively he ought to be fine. Played there 8 times in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingswoodactor Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Why are loads of people suddenly saying to play Leko as a striker on Tuesday night? The lad is a winger... Or are we going back to just playing people anywhere as we're short of options up top? We brought Woodrow in as a striker with Championship experience, if we're not going to play him in place of Fam, then send him back to Fulham. Get Leko out wide to supply crosses and terrify their fullbacks if you're going to play him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess in a tough away fixture such as this you could see people wanting the more defensively able players on the left and right so using Leko up front isn't an unreasonable shout as he showed he's a option in that role.

Woodrow is pointless then. Leko is not the sort of player who will play with his back to goal and hold the ball up for us, and also that doesn't play to his strengths. Away at Wolves we're going to need someone up there to hold it up, hassle their centre backs and bring our other attackers into play. Sure he can do a job up there in the final stages of a game against tired legs, but people who think that he should start as our 'No 9' should really have a day off.

shelts Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Hope Pisano is back as I like this chap, if not I think Vyner will start. Flint has surely earned the right to stay in the side and i for one will be very dissaponted if Wright comes in for him, if he does it might mean something else . Leko not sure at all as I haven't seen him yet, if he's a prem starlet and an England B international we should be giving him a go and West Brom will expect it . Interesting decisions .

Not really, they're just different options. There's more than one way a striker can play and a team play off/with him. As I'm sure you're aware Don't know how it would turnout myself. Suppose we'll find out if/when it happens. Not sure what the patronising attitude is about towards those that think it's a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect Wright will replace Flint - rightly or wrongly Wouldn't be surprised to see Leko start and possibly a patched up Pisano. I almost read that as a pissed up Patchano!!!

shelts Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 We used to have a England B but no longer in name . Under 21 then the full team , so in affect it is an England B team . I disagree over Wright and haven't really taken to him from the start and was amazed he got the armband . We shall see Tuesday!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Probably the scariest thing about Wolves is that not only do they have plenty of quality attacking options but they've also kept 6 clean sheets out of their opening 8 games. So, will be very tough to break down. Neil Harris said on Saturday that whoever finishes above them will be promoted and based on the evidence so far I'd be inclined to agree with him.

JBFC II Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Their fans seem very confident looking at their forum (and rightly so) but if we go and play like we did in the 2nd half v Reading then I'm confident we can come away with something. Team wise, I'd go: Fielding Pisano/Wright Flint Baker Bryan/Kelly Smith Pack Brownhill Paterson Diedhiou Reid That team should have enough energy to press them and enough pace on the break to get something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`m fully expecting us to lose and if it`s only 1-0 or 2-1 won`t be too disappointed TBH. Wasn`t it last year they got a pen when Flinty held his hands up to it before the ref blew? He`s going to want to put that right I should think. I also think they might just underestimate us a bit which will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple question, what exactly did he do to impress? As I recall he ran around a bit but contributed nothing of note. That's not writing him off, or being critical in any way, he was not on for long, and will need games to settle in. Be honest, none of us are really any the wiser, and you cannot judge either way based on his brief performance at Reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may well go with three at the back to match them up and fit both in the team. Dilemma for LJ - damned if he do and damned if he don't, rather him than me Intriguing times at BS3. I like 4-4-2 myself but we need flexibility in shape . Good problems for LJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I meant more he impressed others, which is why they were suggesting him as a striker. I'm probably in the same boat as you, but I understand the feeling that he had made himself an option if they saw something in his performance.

The Constant Rabbit Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 LJ wants a team to play for him,, so let them do just that. 3 at the back, make the midfield really solid and tough, with pace on one wing to a big striker, with one from midfield pushing up as the traditional #10. If we can win this - well we haven't since 1931 apparently - then we are most certainly on the right track! If Pisano is fit, do people think he can push up to play as a genuine mid if we play 3 at the back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
