I've just said this on FMTTM. I think we might be looking at a bit of a change.

Get Giles in to improve output from the left. Get McGree back in team playing his floating role. Get a fast centre back in to play on the left side of the centre backs. Ayling back in as right back. We would look more like Carrick mark 1 but with Doak providing improved output on the right.

Makes sense of the Clarke and Edmundson talk. Quite a bit of change but perhaps gives us more of a balance suited to how Carrick wants to play.

So Giles and a centre back in. Clarke, Edmundson out.

Hopefully we can do one in one out involving Barlaser.

I think Smith and possibly Lenihan will be dropped from the squad meaning we have extra spaces available if we want to loan say a midfielder in.

There's lots of scope to adjust the squad to give Carrick what he wants.

I personally don’t like Aylinh for us, I think nowadays he’s weak defensively and he gets burnt for pace constantly, his passing is good but the west of his game is too weak

I think if he plays the Smith role, tucking in and staying back to let Giles attack he is fine

I think the reason we havent seen the best from Mcgree is because Azaz operates in the same spaces he used to drifting in from the left. It worked when Akpom was here because although Akpom did that at times he was more of a 2nd striker. A player operating in them spaces coming in of the left is probably harder to pick up rather than a Azaz who is always in those positions. I think we have seen that from Azaz this season when the space isnt there hes pretty ineffective.

You can bet your bottom dollar that as soon as he's available he'll be in ahead of Dijksteel, who for me has put in some sterling performances & played well yesterday

I think Dijksteel has looked great offensively, I still have worries defensively though so I don't think he's undroppable when Ayling is fit. The goal comes from his side and their man gets his cross in fairly easily, not to say he's at fault but between him and Clarke it was preventable

Gazette saying Aiden Morris back in training this week with the hope he’s available for Portsmouth away. So hopefully be in the first 11 in next to no time. We’ve missed him far too much than we should have - which highlights the lack of depth we have in midfield.

You could be right that Carrick would like to revert to Carrickball v1.0 but I think he's currently on v3.5 and has invested a lot of time into making it work so I don't see him reverting. 

If you look at Carrick's very first line up against Preston, you can see he is working with what's available.

Steffen

Smith - Fry - Lenihan - Giles

Hackney - Howson

Jones - Akpom - McGree

Muniz/Forss

We didn't have a left winger available and only Jones as a right winger. So he uses Akpom as a second striker, Smith "inverts" into midfield from right back, McGree "floats" and Giles overlaps. Hackney has licence to get forward because he knows Smith is covering. Howson sits and organises.

It's not a particularly complicated set up but works far better than expected primarily because Akpom is playing two roles at once and Gilespom turns out to be a lethal partnership. 

Since those rosy days, it has all become more complicated and convoluted but also we haven't been able to replicate the Giles/Akpom supply line apart from a brief spell when Ayling and Latte Lath became best buds.

Nowadays, his seeming first choice 11 is

Brynn

Dijksteel/Ayling? - Fry - Rav - Engel/Borges?

Morris - Hackney

Doak - Azaz - Burgzorg/McGree?

Latte Lath

The width is now provided by Doak who plays *very* far forward. Burgzorg stays wide but will cross-over with ELL. Engel/Borges is supposed to get forward while staying fairly narrow. Dijksteel/Ayling gets forward so he's not very far behind Doak. Azaz stays central and Hackney gets forward to the edge of the box. It's a sort of Keegan Newcastle tally-ho set up. 

I think Carrickball v3.0 was supposed to be Conway playing the Chuba role and Azaz playing McGree's floating left role with Borges/Engel overlapping. None of that worked out then we got an unexpected Doak so we changed to 3.5 to accommodate Doak. Right now, due to injuries and loss of form making it impossible to pick a settled team, it still doesn't work apart from once in a while. It also seems to have players playing increasingly complicated roles. Probably, he needs to get a blank piece of paper and start again because it is starting to get that whiff of players losing faith.

Ryan Giles at fault for the hull goal can’t see them putting up much longer with him 😂

Which begs the question as to why we would pay good money for a player who is quite clearly on a downward spiral. Shame really he is a lovely lad off the pitch apparently and I would love to know where he went wrong

Because he’s worth a risk for us on a cheaper deal or maybe even a loan. We know there’s a player in there what suits us
