Dolman Block B Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 We wont start with one striker up front on sat?Ok, Johnson has played 4 4 1 1 over the past few games and it aint done to badly, but not sat.We got hit umme hard from the first whistle and get ourselves a comfortable lead to take the pressure off.I sense a nightmare if we don't score in the 1st half.............comments please!

I would go 4-4-2 with Enoch and Jevo up front. Noble and Russell in the middle of midfield with Wilson and McCallister on the wings. Bring JMW on with about half hour to go if we need a goal.

Red_Mat Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I'd go back to the old-fashioned formation for the last game against Rotherham. With Keogh in goal, as I understand he's a half decent keeper, and everyone up front. It'd be like being back in the playground, jumpers for goalposts................Keogh.........................Carey.........McCombe.............Johnson..Noble..Russell........Betsy.....Smith.....Showunmi.....Jevons.....Myrie-Williams.....Subs:Basso (just incase we go one-nil up!)SkuseMcAllisterWilsonPlummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCAGFC Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 My team for Rotherham would be:BassoOrr---McCombe---CareyWilson---Lee Johnson---Noble---Russell---McAllisterJevons---ShowunmiSubs:SmithMyrie WilliamsKeoghThomas (GK)Skuse or BetsyWe have to attack FROM THE START not give them the chance to settle into the game.Rotherham would have obviously had us scouted at Millwall and so a slight change in formation/tactics might make the difference as 4411 can easily become 451 and isolate Showunmi like it did on saturday for most of the 1st hour.352 with Wilson, Noble and McAllister pushing on (sensibily, sp), Russell doing the holding role and Lee Johnson a mixture of the both.Although IMO Jevons doesn't merit a place in the team he is our only other goalscorer and just gets the nod ahead of Smith.BCAGFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson and McAllister on the flanks acting as wing-backs and a midfield of Russell, Noble and Johnson, is the most attacking we have.I think Jevons is underrated and does a lot off the ball that not everyone sees. He and Showunmi aren't the best combination, but they are our top scorers...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Its a must win game and therefore not the time to be messing about with formations.Its common sense to play a system that the players are familiar with.3-5-2 or 3-5-1-1 is likely as thats what City have been playing in the last few games.

Robbored Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 You won't be saying that if we lose.Why won't I?It would be madness for Johnson to introduce a new system for a must win game.He simply wouldn't even consider it - no manager with any credibility would.If Johnson does in some fit of panic introduce a new formation and we lose the game - imagine the kind of stick he'd get from everywhere - not just this forum.

cummins17 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 this is what we should play: basso (gk)keogh (rcb)mCcombe(cb)carey(lcb)betsy (rm)skuse (cm)johnson (cm) mcallister (lm)noble (amc)jevons (cf)showunmi (cf)but this is what i pick, whatever johnson picks i am more then happy with he is god after all ! :goingup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Humble Realist Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I agree with Robbored 10000% , this is no time to introduce new players who aint played in weeks etc or to try different formations.Thank u Robbored for speaking some sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider army matt Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I want Smith on over Jevons,it's destiny he's going to score his first goal and get us promoted!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keep the Faith Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I think were going to have to play something like thisCouldn't we take Orr out and play Noble in behind the front 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonsKev Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 We go with 4-4-1-1 for at least the 1st half. People seem to forget the good performance that we gave in the 2nd half at Carlisle last week. We just need to believe in what has got us here in the past 45 games. If there is anything to take positive from this season, its that we have "bouncebackability".Come on City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFree Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Attack is the best form of defence - let's go for it!!! ...Two at the back with Basso as sweeper!??? :goingup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GJ has to get it right in the players head from the start, that also means his starting formation. If someone is having a go at a player who is not performing well, abuse wont make him play any better, so tell them to support the team or shut up! :goingup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordofthebling Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Noble has been far more effective than Jevons.Thats all I have to say about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kachina Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I think were going to have to play something like thistake betsy out and put wilson inswap jevo and show around as jevo aint got a left foot and i would agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
