I just think that we have been playing with 5 at the back for our best run of games. We looked poor at the back at the start of the season when we were playing 433. Teams were targeting our full back positions Link to post Share on other sites

But will it bee too offensive if it's Coulson and Spence at full back or will they just have to learn to be more carefull. Both have pace and energy to go up and down.

nunthorpered 1,922 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) I dont think we need anymore. CB at a stretch but we have more than one player that can fill in for Ayala if hes long term (probably is by the sound of it).We missed out on Diangana last minute, so we have done what we wanted and filled in that spot now Link to post Share on other sites

We won't be playing with wingers now. Hes completely changed the way we play. As long as you have players that can attack they can play out wide anyway. Nmecha fits that mould, as he did at PNE Link to post Share on other sites

LinoJo3 3,191 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I’d be annoyed to see fletcher get dropped tbh, also not sure I’d want to see nmecha as a central option after what Preston fans said. 343 ......howson....Ayala....fry spence..McNair..Wing/tav...coulson .....Roberts.............Nmecha ..................fletcher Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,242 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Surprised to see people dropping Clayton and Saville so quickly. I know it can be tempting to cram as many attackers into a lineup as possible, but that double pivot has made us so much more balanced and solid in recent weeks - which in turn frees up the flair players to attack. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,982 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I don't think he'll play with wingers, he sees Roberts as a 10 or RW and Roberts is super left footed so cuts inside all the time. I imagine we'll play with inside forwards if anything Link to post Share on other sites

But have seen several suggested line ups dropping the current two who have been sitting deep (and doing it well) for more attack minded midfielders. Someone has to do the dirty work.

LinoJo3 3,191 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 So you suggest dropping tav and leaving McNair out? 2 of our best performing players this season... Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't drop them, they play well together. We also have a good choice of back up or plan B players IMO. Link to post Share on other sites
