Hi, this is my first post on the pinkun. IMO it is evident that the current crop of players arent quite up to scratch and unless the board make money available to the new manager then we could be playing our football in league 1 next season. Pretty much every team who has come to Carrow Road this season has passed us off the park, especially in the final third whereas we can only seem to keep the ball in our own half. So to stop teams finding holes within our team, why dont we play 4-3-3? This would give us a more solid base in the centre of the park and would enable hucks and croft to play more attacking roles where they play their best stuff and can cause havoc amongst the oposition full backs. I also believe that we need to bring in some big, athletic midfielders in the francis/etuhu mould. (Even though rusty is in that mould he doesnt have the quality of these two).I would also give Brellier another go in the holding role as i think he has the potential to be the next Gary Holt but Spillane should also be given a go. My team at the moment would be: Marshall Semmy Dion Murray Drury Brellier Rusty Spillane Croft Huckerby Strihavka I think that with Dion and Murray at the heart of the back four we have two leaders and two reliable players. The 3 centre mids arent the best players in the world but with an extra body in there, teams should find us more difficult to break down. When we played this system at the beginning of last season we were playing brilliantly at the start but with Earnie holding the line up front it gave us a huge disadvantage when we put balls in the box and it didnt allow us to play the longer ball when sometimes we needed to. So in Dave we have a stiker who is fast, tall, will battle and can hold the ball to allow the midfielders the time to join the attacks. I''m sure some people will say it''s too defensive but on the counter attack we should be very dangerous and hucks and croft will have much more freedom to attack. Rusty also scored quite a few at Stoke in a three man midfield so hopefully he can do the same here. I''m interested in what others think!
