Jamie-H 1,322 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Do not understand Clayton and Howson on the bench together would surely be better to have the gymnast on there to throw on if things go against us. Let's see how this quartet does in the 541 I hated when we played this earlier in the season there wasn't enough ball carriers in the 4 we'd play but Besic/Wing/Saville playing might change that dynamic.

johnhorse 35 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 That team though. 5-4-1... 3-5-2... this is going to be excruciating. I chose not to go to this one and glad I didn’t. Not normally negative but we could be far more attacking. Would rather lose trying than this. Link to post Share on other sites
Rioch's Braves 711 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Its pretty predictable, same old same old. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 to be fair we looked good at times playing 3 cbs earlier in the season. if one of wing or Saville play as a 10 quite high next to Hugill it might not be so bad. Link to post Share on other sites

T-CIDER 615 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 That lineup screams defend for 90 minutes and hope for a 0-0 to me. Best we can hope for today I think Link to post Share on other sites
RiseAgainst 3,777 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 A five man defence and a defensive midfielder. That would only work if the other three midfielders are instructed with charging forwards at every opportunity to support Hugill. Pulis absolutely will not instruct them to play like that. Oh dear.

Close, but your expectations weren't as bad as the actuality! Link to post Share on other sites
ManBearPig 1,833 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Sad that it's come to me wanting us to get blapped today so that Pulis ***s off. Knowing us we'll probably win now I've said that! Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 One attacker. One! And that attacker is an absolute donkey. Pulis couldn’t be more soul destroying if he tried. Feel sorry for those who have travelled. Link to post Share on other sites
pikerman 1,089 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 This is going to be a backs against the wall job with nobody to hold up the ball or carry it forwards so it will just keep coming back at us. Are WBA good enough to penetrate that defence, only time will tell but lets face it they will only have to do it once with that team Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,223 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Even when I expect it, it's still painful to see what our team has become :( Link to post Share on other sites
