Dynamo Kev 1,552 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 the formation will have tav right wing watmore left wing and uche up front. with a back 4 (picks itself really) midfield hopefully consisting of payero and two others. two of malley, howson, paddy(hopefully as prefer him in midfield), morsy, crooks. god knows what first game will be though doubt bola will be in uche might be injured payero probably wont be here or not start. --------lumley dijksteel fry hall bola -----paddy morsy --------payero tav-----------------dunc ----------uche ------------------realistic 1st game team? --------lumley dijksteel fry hall paddy -----morsy crooks tav spence-----------------dunc ----------akpom if we play with wingbacks in early competitive games i'm refusing to watch it will be brutal.

The other player is still ongoing but depends on outgoings such as Akpom for a fee. Is that Rhys Healey do you think? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
RiversideRed 1,216 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 We’re an injury from Tav away from having nothing creative in our team which is very worrying! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Dan1234 1,048 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I wouldn't be so quick to rule out Paddy as a starting CB and quite frankly would much rather him there than bend formations trying to fit him in elsewhere. People are forgetting that a back 4 of Bola/McNair/ Fry and BigDjik was the best defence in the league for a decent length of time until injuries. Hall has done nothing for me to say he must start, he makes a half decent back up. Link to post Share on other sites

Central is solid, its our full/wing backs i think we have an issue with. I'd go out on a limb and say id have Jones on the left Link to post Share on other sites

Were hoping to be one of the top 3 teams in the league, we need to be imposing our own style and you only get results from consistency. Can anyone name a team in any league that has finished as one of the 3 best teams that changes their whole set up based on their opponents? 433 or 4231 is very clearly our best option, everyone can see it - so let's work on it and make sure everyone knows their jobs inside and out. If we're good enough at our own jobs then it shouldn't matter what our opponents are doing. I definitely agree with these points. In Warnock's defence though, I suppose if the situation did call for us to play 3 at the back, it's better for us to tinker with it in preseason than to just blindly have a go at it in a competitive game. If it takes a friendly loss for him to see that Dijksteel isn't a wing back, then that's not the end of the world. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If we want wing backs, I'm actually with you and would not be opposed to seeing how Jones does. My concern is because he's a winger by trade he might not be very strong defensively, which would just cause another Coulson situation. Link to post Share on other sites

He spent the most significant defensive moments of the game, i.e. the goals we conceded, on the other side of the pitch because of a man-marking system that pulled him out of position with nobody covering for him. I think we learned more about why having your right wing-back man marking across the pitch in a 5 at the back system is dumb (or at least hard to do properly) than we did about Dijksteel individually in that position. I still think he was decent going forward. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
