NewquayRed Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Feels like the Cardiff game is the end to what has been a very difficult period, very much shit of bust now with games coming up that if we win could, could spark a return to form at the perfect time - god knows were due ! Personally I think LJ needs to stay true to kind of football and the team that was so successful for the first few months of this season. We have to face it January's signings were in some cases a disaster and in others promising for the future, as it stands our best hope remains with the squad that got us here hitting some form and finishing what they started, possibly blooding some of the youth. Feels like were a completely different team to those amazing performances in Aug to Dec last year, I still feel like we have one more push left in us and something to prove before the season ends. What does LJ do next in terms of line up, we need a spark from somewhere ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiderEyed Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Give Paterson a slap and back to 4-4-1-1 with him in a free role behind Reid. Pack and Smith back in the middle. Get the belief back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 March is the month for the re-boot. Would be exceptional to beat Sheff Weds, Preston and Burton. I know 3 wins sound a tall order, but it is possible. A good win on Saturday would set us up well for the rest of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 7 points from those 3 would be a good return IMO. Winning at Preston...I can't really see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Diony needs a reboot....or at least new studs judging by how often he falls over when he gets the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does having the ball hit you and bounce away 20 yards, really class as “getting the ball”, or just being shite..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryans Left Peg Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Can't help but think now would be a good time to give a youngster/fringe players some game time. Might freshen things up a little bit. Lloyd Kelly anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 I love Famara, and yes he has scored a few - but we look worse as a team when we accommodate him. yes, 3-3 - 2-2 you have to blame the defensive abilities of the team, but we just looked so much better packing midfield with Reid wearing out the grass all over the opposition half earlier in the season.

Could play Bryan in a slightly deeper LM/LWB role allowing Mags to stay closer to Kelly in defence and give him a bit of additional cover/support. 3-5-2 with Flint, Kelly, Mags at the back and Bryan running the wing with I guess Wright in a RWB role?

I wouldn't play Wright at full back. At full back he is a liability. Put Wright alongside Flint and Mags and play Bryan and Kelly as the full backs.

Ivorguy Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 The reboot needs to be with the coaching staff, viz 1. Inculcate a positive mentality 2.Train them to take free kicks and corners with menace 3. Decide on a plan a and a plan b for the match and ensure players understand their roles within the plans and keep to it. 4. Select a captain who takes on field responsibility 5. Only select 100% fit players. Fit both physically and mentally Hardly rocket science Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Bailey Wright is no wing back. Doing OK to cover Eros but he is a central defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking along the lines of; ---------------Fielding--------------- -----Flint-----Kelly-----Mags---- Wright------------------------Bryan ----------Smith-------Walsh------- -------------------Pato----------------- -------Reid--------Diedhou------- But you're right, the only worry for me there is Wright at RB. (Pato wouldn't be quite as high as he looks, just slightly in front of Walsh and Smith in a triangle shape, and could alternative in the game with Walsh when applicable.)

He's our only option at the moment to play RB/RWB, neither of which is his best position, whether we like it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryans Left Peg Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 I try not to do this, because what's done is done and I'm not one for 'what ifs' but it would've been an ideal time to chuck Zak Vyner or Taylor Moore in. Wright & Flint in CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is, but I was thinking of having Bryan play a deeper LM/LWB (supporting Mags - who would be closer to Kelly) so thought tactically Walsh would be better suited as a player with a little bit extra freedom in the middle to push forward.
