TLF10 4,440 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 @Changing Times. Warnock said he plans to use Roberts where he been asking Tav to play. So what he referring to as the "hole" is what we fans understand to be the advanced central midfielder out the middle 3. Thus its been Howson and Sav with Tav further up supporting the 2 strikers. I assume when Roberts plays it will be him and 2 out of Howson Sav and Morsy. A 3.5.2 or 3.4.1.2 if you like. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,043 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I hope Roberts doesn't mean Tav is benched as Tav shooting at the goal got us the goal against Barnsley. Link to post Share on other sites

Didn’t he set up both goals with his long range shooting? Personally I’m not fussed about Roberts, he’s too selfish on the ball, he needs to learn to pick out a decent pass, rather than running down blind alleys. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If Tav is playing RWB I can't see him being benched for Roberts, who is certainly not going to play there. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Although I'd ideally like two specialist wing backs if Warnock wants to continue with 3-5-2 we should have enough to comfortably secure mid table if we get Roberts. I don't think we are going to see much of the 4-3-3 formation as he seems to like playing Akpom and Britt together up front and neither can really play out wide. I know a lot have said that Akpom can, but looking at his stats on Transfermarkt he's never really played on the wing. I suppose we could also play a traditional 4-4-2 with Tav and Robers on the wings. But let's get the Roberts deal wrapped up asap and move along. Link to post Share on other sites

Mate if you think we wont get comfortable mid table without roberts you are mental. its pretty obvious we will be top half anyway. i've seem champo football for years now and even though we have been badly let down in the wing backs positions so far and still kind of out of sorts. we still look hard to beat and have been the better side for the majority of all the games so far. lighten up, we'll be pushing play offs as it is, i guarantee it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think we will be comfortably top half with the current squad. I don't think that's mental at all. As you say we are not blessed with real talent at wing backs, we have very little creativity and pace hence we are very predictable. Top that off with a threadbare squad that's only a few injuries away from fielding acadmy lads with not real experience. To think we will be pushing for play offs with this squad is metal😄 Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 That's good business from Norwich. Back in the championship and they sell a player for 25 million and replace him with Gibson for about a quarter of that. Link to post Share on other sites

DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Josh Cullen (West Ham), who a few (including myself) had mentioned on here, looks like he is off to Anderlecht for around a Million. Godfrey to Everton is a good deal for both clubs too. Link to post Share on other sites

SzilardNemethsCurtains 2,844 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Even if you dont rate him, you have got to be nuts to not see how Roberts will improve us. We dont have a player in his mould and arguably we havent even seen the best of him 3 Link to post Share on other sites
