It's going to be impossible to justify dropping Jones. The most logical way of keeping all three in is to keep Jones at LW, Watmore at RW and Tavernier at CM alongside Crooks. Morsy in for Howson at DM. Tavernier in CM with Morsy behind him would help us get a far better control of the ball in midfield than we had against QPR. We just can't be caught on the transition so easily in the middle third. Personally I think the strongest looking line up is 4-2-3-1 In the three: LW - Jones, #10 Watmore, RW - Tav In the midfield 2: Crooks and Morsy/McNair Means that Payero would have to earn a starting place and that Crooks and Tav can both play in the #10 role. The deep lying one of the two midfielders does need a good range of passing as well as the ability to read the game and break up play. On paper at least this looks like a strong unit with good depth in each role, especially if van Bergen and Sporar do join. My main issue is that Sporar looks more like an Akpom style forward than a target man and I'm not sure how well he would fit. Link to post Share on other sites

Humpty 3,246 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I’d be really interested to see crooks play in a central two. I think he’s got it in him. Link to post Share on other sites

I think he's the only one who is disciplined enough to sit while Crooks pushes forward. I would say Howson could as well, but I think suggesting he ever starts a football match again is a banable offence on here now. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
CWC 383 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 https://www.abola.pt/amp/noticias/ver/901765?__twitter_impression=true Is there anything new that we don’t already know in that? To me it sounds like we’re just waiting on the announcement. Link to post Share on other sites

Do you not think that will lose a bit of what he’s good at? Getting up with the striker etc? I do think a midfield 3 of crooks, Morsy and tav would be risky but potentially exciting to watch. But I’d also like to see a front 2 of ikpeazu and Sporar, looking at how they play I think that could work really well. Link to post Share on other sites

He’s got one hell of an engine on him….so I don’t think he’s beyond playing as an 8. You could well be right but that’s why I’m intrigued. I think he has the attributes to play both roles. Personally speaking I was quite unsure about whether he would hack it playing as far forward as he has. He’s proved me wrong so far. As Tom said I’d want him playing with Morsey so he could have a bit of freedom to push on, carry the ball or join the attack. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

DevKWat 2,365 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 In that Warnock says he classes Coburn as one of our strikers, maybe we won’t need anymore after Sporar if Coburn is in our plans Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's underrated how much of a shift Tav puts in defensively, Crooks seems like he's all over the pitch and I've always thought of Morsy as more of a midfield enforcer than the sort of 8 role that Warnock plays him in! That midfield 3 has a good balance for me! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Other than that it's not a bad squad. That with Neil Warnock's experience in this league should be getting into the Playoffs. Link to post Share on other sites
