1960maaan Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 Just been playing on https://www.buildlineup.com/ trying to see how I would play at Cardiff. TBH I would not start Weimann after Wednesday, but I'm not sure it's the game for Yeboahs first start and I like Cornicks impact as a sub, so he's in by default. We are really light in MF, that means a kid starts or a bit of a juggle. I'd put TGH back to RB, Andi RMF and push Sykes inside. For the least amount of disruption I'd risk Idehen starting. We don't have another LB if the rumours about Roberts are true , so it at least leaves Pring in his natural role. I didn't think TC looked great the other night, but if he's ok to start maybe he just needs minutes. So here we are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Geoff Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 Why change it so much after one and a half good performances. I think we will start the same as Wednesday with the only change being central defence. Idehan maybe or if Roberts is fit he plays left back and Pring moves inside. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only changes from Wednesday to the above is Sykes/TGH swap. Ignore the positions as we know they are fluid to some extent. We seemed to be 4-1-4-1 , 4-5-1 & 4-3-3 at various stages Vs Ipswich. My line up is assuming Roberts misses out, that probably leaves a straight choice between the young lad James or Idehen coming in . I'd go with Idehen on experience . My reasoning for moving Sykes inside, and I admit it could be a coin toss decision , is he gives a little more stability and attacking threat. I thought TGH did ok, though he did give away possession a few times , I just feel Sykes would add a little more presence . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberts has played a lot of his career at cb. That could be an option too if we'd rather have Pring at lb. Depends if Nige trusts him to play there tho. But I'd rather Roberts at CB than Idehan tbh.

Idehen would be ‘ahead’ of them because of first team exposure, but let himself down with off field stuff which is why he’s dropped out. I really, really rate Jamie and was expecting him to be blooded this season, Cardiff would be a baptism of fire though. Just now, FNQ said: Not sure.. Nige had the opportunity to bring one of them on on Weds but didn’t.. perhaps young James at left back is considered less of a risk? No chance for me, he’s a RB, and is only really on the bench as hes the only other fit full back we have at the club. Only 17, has hardly even been around the u21 squad. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we have ever really had much success playing Weimann out wide. I think the recent form of Weimann and Bell and the options we have in have the forward positions is why some might “change it up”. It’s a really tough selection problem for the front three, the rest of the team will pick itself pretty much. If Roberts isn’t fit, I’d play Idehen at LCB and keep Pring at LB. I’d love to change the front three to a “two and one” and play a more conventional MF3 behind them. But whether Cardiff (a) is the right time I don’t know. Conway needs a partner. So WSM v2 is WCC (Weimann 10, Cornick and Conway), with TGH and JK either side of MJ and providing the legs to allow MJ to concentrate on screening Dickie and Idehen. That sounds all “football-manager” but I think out of possession, Cornick and Conway can split the CBs and FBs and Weimann make the CBs go through the middle, into a more congested MF3. I think both Weimann and Bell restricted the runs of Sykes and Pring respective, so I’m in favour of losing the side forwards. But it’s a risk this weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we were ( cuz that’s all we got ) perhaps Harry for Tommy and idehen for king to keep pring wide so he can maraud forward , wiemanm very lucky to start but we have no one else , for someone with so much experience he doesn’t get in the game enough for me it just passes him by , he needs to get on the ball more and effect the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sticking young JJames at LB and Pring moved to CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about James at CB either , takes too much away from MF IMO. I agree about preferring Conway with a partner @Davefevs , one of the reasons I thought Sykes in CMF could offer a chance to get forward to support him . Plus Knight and Sykes gives plenty of legs centrally. Otherwise in a 4-1-3-2 we give Weimann & TC a chance together with Bell/Knight/TGH in supporting.

Play Cornick down the middle (his best position) and give Mehmeti a chance down the left with Andi on the right. Think we need Pring and Sykes as they are, given that they have Meite and he’ll exploit any inexperience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC_Josh Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) If Roberts is fit enough, I would play: O'Leary Sykes Dickie Pring Roberts James TGH Knight Weimann Conway Bell If not, I would play Pring LB and Idehen at CB.

BCFCGav Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 I’ve been racking my brains as many have and came to the same conclusion, it’ll have to be an academy player alongside Dickie. We can’t take James out of his midfield role, he’s too important, and I’d like to keep Pring at LB. If Roberts is fit, I’d put him alongside Dickie. I think I’d stick with Skyes at RB as I’m enjoying TGH in midfield and Sykes positioning defensively has been sound. So I’m looking at (433): O’Leary; Sykes, Dickie, Idehen, Pring; James, TGH, Knight; Weimann, Conway, Bell. After tomorrow, we have a week before our next game, then another week before our next, then an international break. Perfect for us to allow some to come back. If we can start this thin run of fixtures with a Severnside win, that would be amazing and a credit to the lads who go out there tomorrow. COYR.

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 I would be surprised to see him tomorrow, last thing we want to do is put him back in before we are sure he is match fit, like Weimann at Hull. Perhaps on the bench but not necessarily playing anymore than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
