wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 2 minutes ago, Brunners said: It's the same team and formation as midweek only with Spence and Marv swapped. (edit: I should say, "i think" i don't have any evidence other than Marv came on for Spence midweek and played RWB) Ah right, maybe you're right then, I wasn't really aware of the formation change midweek as I only had it on in the background.

Hendrie_7 1,068 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Not that optimistic after seeing that, Tav doesn't get involved enough to play as a #10 and Fletcher can't hold the ball up. Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Not saying there's anything in it, but the club usually announce the team with Johnson with the defender's names if he's at LWB/RWB, but he's next to Fletcher and Tav today. Link to post Share on other sites

I could be wrong, as others have pointed out, the way the teamsheet is laid out would suggest he's playing further forward. it would just surprise me is all given it's otherwise the exact same team and he played there midweek.

DurhamRed 2,043 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I think this appears to be a change in formation to the Karanka 4231 Link to post Share on other sites
mj south 610 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Dominic Shaw seems to think it's going to be 433 Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I don’t really care about the formation. What I care about is the ambition to get forward and not just hoof it to a lonely fletcher. I hope Woodgate actually wants to win the game today. Link to post Share on other sites

tmcc 583 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) wondering how we should tackle this game, Swansea are in free fall, no win in 6, havnt kept a clean sheet in any of those games conceding 12. do we attack from the off? or just keep it tight and wait for the inevitable turn of the fans after 20-30 mins when there side isnt winning? tough one, but from previous woodgate games i recon it will be the later.
