hinsleburg Posted November 30, 2021 Report 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 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 If we give the likes of Lawrence time and space we will get stuffed. Actually thought Derby looked decent enough going forward but defensively they weren't great. I would play Semenyo and leave out one of Martin and Weimann. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I'd like to see him get some time on the pitch, he's got a lot to offer imo, looks a very bright prospect and appears to be an intelligent footballer. Works his socks off for the team as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) Things we know .... Tanner, King, James, Baker, Williams and Palmer won't play. Bentley will play. Martin will play Kalas will play Weimann will play COD will play NHM will probably play Bakinson will probably play Scott will probably play So you have to ask, do we stick with 3 CBs ? It would mean playing all our fit CBs. Or do we go with a 4? Not a clue. My guess. Vyner drops out and Atkinson comes in. Pring could come in at LB, switching to a 451/442/433 and as Simpson has been on the bench, he will be the RB Bentley Simpson - Kalas - Atkinson - Pring Scott - Bakinson - HNM - COD Weimann - Martin Probably not what I'd go with, but what I think Nige will do.

I still think it will be 30 minutes to go with Martin flagging. I'd like to be wrong though. 9 minutes ago, mozo said: Could Nige not be tempted to play Vyner at right back and Pring at least back in a 4?

GrahamC Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) Think we can deduce from NP’s press conference that neither James or King are likely to be available, plus Baker & Williams (the latter until January) aren’t, either. If we are persisting with 3/5 at the back then Atkinson in for Baker & Semenyo for Benarous with Weimann dropping into midfield alongside HNM & Bakinson seem the most likely changes.

RedRock Posted December 2, 2021 Report 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...
Davefevs Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 James and King back in full training this morning, albeit no ready to be available for selection. Suggests not far away.

Not worth risking if they've only just started training though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
