Obv not asking for line up but is it a wing back system we been practicing? Yep been working on various different systems but prodimenatly using wing backs, unfortunately don't have a clue on the actual line up. Stoj has been used heavily in keeping drills this week so will be intresting to see if he gets a start . 8 2 Link to post Share on other sites

We have no wingbacks and who will play overlapping cb? Mcnair is very inconsistent playing cb and I don't think it's his best position. Then what leave hall and bamba potentially exposed on the break? I have seen wilders teams yes but we are not sheff utd. At home to millwall and the likes playing that is just total *** imo Wow mate, in the nicest possible way, please take the negativity elsewhere, I for one am quite excited for the first time in a long time. Let’s see how it goes tomorrow. 3-5–2 is very attacking? 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites
edinboro 804 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Anyone else notice Frankie Hunter back in training video? Was mentioned she had disappeared. Nice to see her back, she seemed part of a decent set up. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Noticed that CW mentioned Garry Monk, Pulis and Woodgate by name, but when he got to NW he just referred to him as "the last manager". I really don't think he's too fond of "the last manager". 😄 I might love him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Let’s see how it goes tomorrow. 3-5–2 is very attacking? Its not negative its an opinion on tactics. I'm seeing people say its nailed on we play wingbacks and 3 at the back and I'm saying no matter how it's dressed up we are either playing with wingers as wingbacks again which we have already seen how poor that is under warnock or we are playing Taylor and dijksteel there who are not good outlets as your attacking wide players. Bola and spence yes fair enough they can both do a good job there. Its like playing 4231 when you have no wingers or a number 10. It doesn't make sense to me. Alot of fans have spent years asking for some wingers and to watch some decent attacking football especially at home. Now we have a few good options I want to see them utilised and given a chance I don't want to see them shackled in a wingback role out of position or the likes of diksteel and Taylor as our outlets on the flanks. Its all about opinions and how you look at things. I look at things practically. Others look things through Rose tinted specs and just hope for the best regardless. I'll be happy if we play 442 or 451 with our squad and I won't be if we play 352 or 532 as I think it is, if we play well and start winning games and shoot up the league I'll say fair enough I was wrong. It's a football forum for people to give their opinions so why should I leave? It's what it's all about. Link to post Share on other sites

Downsouth 6,175 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Well game day and a game that is attracting great interest. I think we will see a more urgent and busy Boro today and hopefully bossing the game! One of my pet hates is how many times opposition has dominated possession when we are at home, ok it is what you do when you have the ball but it is time to stamp some authority at The Riverside 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It's a football forum for people to give their opinions so why should I leave? It's what it's all about. Chelsea play with wingbacks. City do occasionally. Leicester play with wing backs. West ham play with wing backs. Are they defensive? A formation is just a formation, it's not negative (unless you're playing pulis's 541) in itself, it's about the intent and how fluid the formation is that actually matters.

If that's true I bet its a right kick in the teeth for Warnock to lose his job to someone he doesn't get on with. Quite funny really Link to post Share on other sites
