Robbored Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 When everyone is fitBassoCarey - McCombe - FontaineSproule - Elliot - Johnson - McIndoe Trundle Byfield JevonsNot much - defensively very weak with only three defenders and wide men that aren't well known for tracking back......Looks good going forward but that ain't likely without the ball.Have another guess........ :noexpression: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 What about: BassoOrr - Carey - McCombe - MCallister Murray - Elliot - McIndoe Trundle Byfield SprouleToo lighweight in midfield. Only Elliot is the only ball winner.Plus the flanks are exposed and any other team worth their pay would exploit that.Another try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midge Posted September 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Listen pal,there was a thread saying that people aren't putting much on the forum at the moment so all i did was post something for people to talk about.I'm very happy with the 442 that we use but as an alternative I just wanted to see what other options we could use,if you can't come up with something why post a reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 When everyone is fitBassoCarey - McCombe - FontaineSproule - Elliot - Johnson - McIndoe Trundle Byfield JevonsOn current form I'd have Noble in for Johnson and Wilson in for Sproule and then it might be interesting at home against weaker sides or if we are chasing a game. McIndoe and Wilson do have defensive sides to their game and both work hard so it might work well.GJ will be playing 442 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 How can you say that when Noble hasnt played a proper game since May 5th?Because I don't think Johnson's played well enough so far this season so if Noble's fit I'd give him a change to do better.

Johnson's playing regularly so its unfair to say "on current form" On current form LJ gets in the team over Nobes every time. On ABILITY (which i think you mean) then yes, i would pick Nobes ahead of LJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson's playing regularly so its unfair to say "on current form" On current form LJ gets in the team over Nobes every time.I meant LJ's current form not Noble's. Since he doesn't have any current form I didn't see the need to elaborate. I don't see how you can ever judge the form of a player who's not playing so why the confusion?IMO Johnson's playing badly right now. It's reasonable to work on the assumption that if he's fit and training well (and the fact that he gets through reserve games indicates he is) then Noble will play at least average and for me that would be enough to displace LJ right now.And no, I don't mean ability. LJ is playing nowhere near his ability and if he was I'd have him in ahead of Noble because he creates far more goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 I would have thought GJ will put Noble on the bech before starting him, especially for an away game. Skuse might make way for David on the bench, but I can't see LJ getting dropped from the starting line up for a player ith no games under his belt this season.

I don't see Skuse as in any way able to take the more creative role in midfield and Elliott looks far less likely that LJ to need replacing.

barry_mack Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 If he did move onto a 352, which he tried a few times last season then the first post wouldnt be too far wrong................Carey, McCombe, FontaineWilson, Marvelous Marv, Johnson, McIndoe/McCalister.........Trundle...Sproule, ByfieldThat has the defensive side, the attacking flair and a nice compact midfield, but a possible lack of width if the wingbacks are made to defend too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashley (city's no1 fan) Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Personally if everyone is fit i would go with this:.......BassoWilson....Mccombe....Carey......McAllisterSproule....Elliott........Johnson....Mcindoe.............Byfield....TrundleBench[/u]WealeFontaineOrrNobleBrookerWhat a quality team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunley Legend Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 My ideal team away from home at the moment would be:-BassoOrr Carey Fontaine McCallisterWilson Elliott Noble McIndoeByfield TrundleSubs - Weale, Vasko (can do two jobs), Johnson, Skuse, SprouleAt home I would swap Sproule for Wilson and have Murray replacing Skuse on the bench (I know two players will not interchange like that in Gary Johnson's real world before I get some pathetic $martar$e reply). I would also like to see some serious competition for McCallister who has yet to hit his straps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Boy Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 what about the boring dull 4 4 2 thats kept us unbeaten up to this point (and also got us promoted) ???It's also given us one home win from four so I think we need to address that fact, albeit not with that initial selectionand above all you cant change a winning side.Why not? Benitez, Mourihno, Wenger & Fergie do it all the time-Plus the fact that we've drawn the last two games, at homehowever, the only change i would make for saturday is bring sproule over to the right wing and put byfied up front. to be fair wilson has played well on the right hand side, but sproule seems to be more of a threat on the wing and byfield is looking very lively up front. 3 in 3 isnt bad!Sproule went right wing second half against Burnley and was annonymous.I've seen every game he's played and I can't see what the fuss is about with Sproule who's been largely played out of position and unimpressive.Wilson has had some good games, got the winner at Wednesday and the gets dropped. :noexpression: and i didnt think i'd be saying this at the start of the season, but i certainly wouldnt let mccombe walk back into the side as i expected him to. fontaine is suddenly awesome, and is more than holding his own at the back next to louis.But we're still conceeding late goals from crosses so that, once again, needs looking atteam for saturday:My ideal team away from home at the moment would be:-BassoOrr Carey Fontaine McCallisterWilson Elliott Noble McIndoeByfield TrundleSubs - Weale, Vasko (can do two jobs), Johnson, Skuse, SprouleSwap Sproule for Murray and that's not bad in a 4-4-2At home I would swap Sproule for Wilson and have Murray replacing Skuse on the bench (I know two players will not interchange like that in Gary Johnson's real world before I get some pathetic $martar$e reply). I would also like to see some serious competition for McCallister who has yet to hit his straps.McAllister may be replaced by Fontaine if GJ wants to get McCombe back for his first ball winning capability.Why swap Sproule for Wilson at home? I thought Wilson was far better against Burnley on Saturday and is generally in better form than Sproule who, quite frankly, has disappointed me overall, although I do realise he's been played out of position mainly.Murray's an effective sub and knows where the net is and you always need a good balance on the bench.
