richmfc 41 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Team looks very unbalanced I don't see that. 2 forwards with bamford behind fullbacks pushing on and a solid midfield. Or even a forward and a right and left attacking player in Britt and bamford. Looks quite balanced Link to post Share on other sites

Always nice to have a plan B Link to post Share on other sites

AnglianRed 6,320 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 All this talk of direct / long ball play makes me sad. i was hoping we'd be playing proper football. :( Link to post Share on other sites

richmfc 41 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I've championed gestede along with a few others. Today we will find out Link to post Share on other sites
ManBearPig 1,853 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 As long as we win, that's all that matters. I see it as a 4312 Randolph Christie Fry Gibson Friend Clayton Howson Forshaw Bamford Britt Rudy I think Gestede and Britt could form a great partnership. If there's one thing that Gestede is good at, it's winning a knock down. Him and Britt both do it well to be fair. Britt will play better with someone up with him. And with Bamfords movement it has the potential to cause problems. Also the amount of long balls we play it's paramount we have some stickability up top. Nervous now, but come on boro!

Tudders80 674 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Gestede Britt and bamford are strikers. Last week we played Britt, Braithwaite and Fletcher. 3 strikers. It's as balanced as last week. People just don't like it as it means gestede is likely to be the middle of the three pushing Britt into a wide forward role. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Gestede doesn't fit the pacy front line set up, that's what concerns me. I like him as an option but after watching the Augsburg game, it didn't surprise me to hear he was linked with a move elsewhere. I think he's good at what he does. Hustle and bustle, he will challenge every ball in the air if you give him the service. But I'm unsure if that kind of service will arrive for him in this team. Link to post Share on other sites
Johnmfc81 902 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Sheffield will likely want to soak up everything we throw at them so maybe gestede isnt too bad. We can bring traore on later when the gamess opens up later on Link to post Share on other sites
AnglianRed 6,320 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Maybe Gestede is there to hold the ball up and provide some service to the other two, when we go through the middle, as opposed to out wide. Useful to have some aerial threat up front too. Link to post Share on other sites
