Waconda Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) Assuming Baker and Williams are out but hopefully James is back Bentley Vyner Kalas Atkinson Scott COD James HNM Weimann Semenyo Conway Hope we stick with 3-5-2 (3-4-1-2) as previous formation and tactics were dreadful. Now please commence the shredding of my selection Edited November 29, 2021 by VT05763 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolas Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 4132 for me Bentley Kalas Atkinson Pring James semenyo scott cod Weimann only problem with mine is i have no rb or 2nd striker! so i guess i have to shoehorn vyner to rb and stick conway up front, although clearly it would probably end up at Wells.

redsince1994 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Really hope we start Semenyo. Only player who managed to make an effective forward pass against Sheffield United. Bar set pretty low I know 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Odds on that Semenyo will start. How far off is Tanner ? James should be ok ? COD has done ok so far and gives an outlet to get further up the pitch. But Scott as a LWB isn't working imo. Not his fault, but he isn't comfortable there, play him as a wide forward or central. Same for Benarous. If Tanner is fit (doubtful), then he plays, Vyner if not. Massengo not in form, but rather him than Bakinson imo. 4-4-2 or 4-1-3-2 and could go 3-5-2 with Pring moving central and COD into RWB .......................Bentley Tanner Kalas Atkinson Pring .....................Massengo ..........Scott James O'Dowda ............Weimann Semenyo Needs to be freshened up and I think Tanner, James, Pring, and Semenyo will be unaffected by any negative stuff thats gone on before. TBF, COD is in reasonable form and Scott doesn't seem to be affected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COD Wellls Having watched tonight would go 5 in midfield with pace out wide and upfront. Only Seyemyo could come into it. Other than that not much to choose from. No James,Williams, Baker and Tanner. really does show we are weak in midfield. Taken Bakinson out as he was a disgrace at Sheffield U. Bench will look very week for Derby. Seymenyo and Martyn and not much else to come on. Maybe put HNM on Lawrence to nullify him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hinsleburg Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Bentley Simpson Kalas Atkinson Pring James (If fit, Vyner if not) HNM Scott Semenyo Cod Martin I would go something like the above, have Semenyo and COD playing very narrow and getting close/in behind Martin. I like Weimann but not playing well, good impact sub to have if we need energy. Feel like Benarous could do with a break, moreso Mental than physical as can't be easy coming into the team from nowhere. Gone Vyner in midfield if James can't play, desperately missing that shield in front of the defence and don't think any of our other midfielders (other than Williams) can do it. In the unlikely event Williams is fit I would have him instead of Semenyo and push HNM out wide. Feel like that extra bit of awareness is missing from HNM when he plays in the middle, would want him in the team but right now maybe suited slightly wider! Bench is everybody else who isn't injured or not on the bus so may not be a full one... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 If we give the likes of Lawrence time and space we will get stuffed.

Agreed, but if we need energy, you wouldn't leave out Andi Weimann. However, Chris Martin has not been at all effective this season - I'm not saying that he's not trying, but he can't lead the line and when it comes to pace, well he doesn't have any - which is one of the main reasons that we are failing so badly.

RedRock Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 We are weak up front, weak in midfield. Can’t understand why Big Nige persisted with initially three, then two forwards when we can’t get any control of the play in midfield. Hopefully, he is learning…although I would have thought a manager of his experience would have already known how best to solve the problem. One up front..ideally, fast and mobile - so probably Wells, though could give Andi or, a higher risk admittedly, Semenyo a go. Hopefully, we’ve been practising this approach in training so it doesn’t look totally like a new concept introduced to a bunch of strangers on match day. Five across the middle. Just perm any five players from what’s available. They’re all pretty much of a muchness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
