Can't remember the last time we had that - fair play to NP, shows a lot of confidence in them. Sheff Utd away this season. Edited February 22, 2022 by ExiledAjax 1 Quote Link to comment

ExiledAjax Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 I think this is going to look like a pretty loose formation, as we saw against Boro. Quote Link to comment

Gazred Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 Great to see Nige have no hesitation in putting Benarous in. Love to see him have a blinder, little bit of pressure on him tonight, not featured for a while. Quote Link to comment

(Some of their guesses at our formation have been startlingly inaccurate. I half expect them to have Massengo in goal and Dasilva at centre forward.) Back four. Diamond with HNM at the base, AW the apex and Scott & Benarous right and left, respectively. Antoine and Martin up top. Should be fun... 1 1 Quote Link to comment

One of the worst games of the season, lets hope it goes better tonight. Ok, sure if Scott is playing centrally and we're in more of a 433 tonight rather than 352 that night then yes this is the youngest midfield. My point was that all three of Massengo, Benarous and Scott stated that night - and remember, all three were, at the time, 4 months younger than they are now! Additions tonight of Semenyo and Bell possibly take the starting average lower...although Klose might jack it up a little? It's young though. Just now, Davefevs said: Just been advised it’s same as Saturday but HNM playing in the front sweeper role. I do enjoy a front sweeper. Of course I would prefer a metodista - although Kalas showed flashes of that kind of role on Saturday with those cavalier forward charges. Not quite Webster or Ayling in their pomp, but getting close. 1 Quote Link to comment

A good test for HNM. Will be really interesting how the midfield functions. I’m guessing Williams will get some minutes in the second half. Excited by this team. It may go wrong, but so refreshing to see Nige so happy to play the youngsters. It really feels like we’re starting to build something. 3 Quote Link to comment

Dan Robin Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) I'm not sure I understood the positions. Something like that? .............Bentley Bell.....Kalas....Klose....Dasilva ................Massengo ..Scott................Benarous .............Weimann Semenyo.......Martin [EDITED] If it's right...another tough test for Bell in that unfamiliar position, whereas Massengo as a defensive shield could be useful. I'd have given Wells a chance, but not surprised he's on the bench as usual... COYR! Edited February 22, 2022 by Dan Robin Quote Link to comment

YGBjammy Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 I think will be a 433 with Massengo doing most of the dropping back rather than an out and out "front sweeper" role that Williams played. And I wouldn't be surprised to see Scott and Benarous off at half time. At 8:30 they have to go get a bath and go to bed as have school in the morning. 1 Quote Link to comment

Red Army 75 Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 NP just said the in his pre match talk. That the average age of our 3 midfielders is younger than the midfield for the U23s today. Quite unbelievable stat 1 1 Quote Link to comment
