And Its Smith Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 56 minutes ago, JoeAman08 said: Still hard for me to fathom how many people don’t have Brownhill in the team or not centrally. Though if we are going to change based on matchup it would not surprise me to see Pack and Smith play against Forest as it is in my eyes our more defensive pairing and Forest look strong on paper. It was hard to fathom and you fathomed it next sentence. I am saying Brownhill wide as a one off. Its one game against a good team and all the other widemen are injured bar Elliason who I would play and Pato who I would put number 10 as he is better than Taylor there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with Hunt behind him who I think may need some help from the winger this season defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one, he’ll get more chances in the position we’re playing him. Plus off the limited amount I’ve seen of him, he’s got the energy to play that high pressure game, which gave Reid 5-6 of his goals at least, just from forcing defences into mistakes. Maybe. I work with Villa and Derby fans and both have said his finishing isn’t up to much... but he can’t be as bad as Matt Smith at least right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you don’t like/rate him - but 6th choice? If he stays fit, I’d hope to see him play very regularly. Incredibly useful player but because we haven’t seen him fully fit much/at all, people seem to forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad blit Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 I would say currently with Diedhiou out that we will see Patterson behind Weidmann as first choice, with Eisa (Pace) or Djuric (target man) replacing Weidmann whilst Taylor will compete with Patterson for the No10 role. Interesting to see (after Friday) that a few didn't rate Hunt, whereas I thought he had a good game, combined well with Elliasson, and had decent amount of pace to cover any issues. I don't necceassarily agree but cant see past this lineup for LJ GK Hunt Webster Baker Bryan/New LB Brownhill Smith Pack Elliasson Patterson Weidmann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 2 minutes ago, JonDolman said: I rate him in a long ball team. I think LJ though has him behind Diedhiou, Weimann and Eisa as the main striker. And that's 6th choice if you include the number 10s. I think it's a bit of a stretch if you include the likes of Paterson as a 'striker'. He'll be used as a number 10 which, as we saw with Paterson and also Reid last season, is a pretty different role. I think someone like Djuric is incredibly useful to have. Obviously he has his physical attributes and aerial ability, but he's a far cleverer footballer than many give him credit for. We'd have a far weaker squad without him and I'm intrigued to see what he could do with a proper run in the team at full fitness. We also have a very gifted crosser of the ball developing nicely in Eliasson.. perfect for Djuric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree that Brownhill needs to play more centrally, wouldn't like to choose he gets left out but its a squad game and will allow players to get rest. Walsh looked like he had bulked out slightly at friendly too and was pinging some nice balls about so could be another decent central option.

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 I cannot help but think that Brownhill, Smith and Pack in a 3 would be a good setup- thought so for a while- some good players would miss out though, but the team, balance etc... GK Hunt Webster Baker Bryan Pack Brownhill Smith Paterson Eliasson Weimann To me, it's a decent balance.- Real full backs (as opposed to Wright and Magnússon) on either side, plus high up Eliasson more of a traditional winger, Paterson can come inside more- and if Paterson comes inside Weimann can drift wider and even Brownhill can step up to wide right to cover at various times. My key dilemma is whether Weimann or Eisa up front? Both have their attributes and weaknesses. Who is injured so far? Fielding, O'Dowda Adelakun and Watkins is it?

Bainsey Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 With no injuries/suspensions my starting 11 and formation (would try something different) would be: Maenpaa Hunt Webster Baker Bryan Pack Smith O'Dowda Adelakun Weimann Diedhiou However for Forest I reckon it'll be something along the lines of: Maenpaa Hunt Webster Baker Bryan Paterson Pack Smith Eliasson Weimann Taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
