? 0 Posted August 13, 2016 Like the team, probably the best we could put out, so glad Brady is playing. However, that whole team sheet just highlights how seriously lacking we are in the striker position. Next week it really needs to be addressed! OTBC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iron_stan 0 Posted August 13, 2016 nice to see brady back but brady/hoolahan/naismith is too narrow for my tasteswe wont see much going down the right wing today, everything down the left, bit obvious/predictable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iron_stan 0 Posted August 13, 2016 he is and it doesnt work, inverted wingers are a terrible idea, it was hughtons only plan and failed miserably, imo brady should be left, one from wes or naismith in middle and a right winger on the right wingleft foot, either foot, right foot, beat the man and cross the ball to the lump in the middle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horse Renoir 1 Posted August 13, 2016 We''re looking good so far. we''re trying to play nifty one two''s but Wednesday are defending really well and we still look a little rusty. We were never going to blow this lot away like we did at Blackburn. We''ve defended superbly and Tettey has mopped up everything which has been really good to see.Also, right and left sided attacking midfielders operate in completely different spaces and have very different roles to wingers, come on guys, did it looked like Hoolahan was playing like a winger? just because Roeder played him wide in a 442 doesn''t mean he can''t play as a left sided attacker in a narrow 3. You can''t ask him to play like a winger, yeah, but he is operating in his favoured positions despite technically being on the left of a 3, Hughton has gone so a player''s starting position is pretty irrelevant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeattleCanary 0 Posted August 13, 2016 Ruddy injured now too? McGovern on.Our injury list is just growing and growing. Only one sub left now to affect the game in the second half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iron_stan 0 Posted August 13, 2016 our biggest problem since 2012 has been balance and it still isnaismith and wes are both number 10''s, pick one or the other!!! and play a left footed winger to his left and a right footed winger to his righteasypick the best team dont shoe horn in the best playersat this point wednesday dont have to do anything different, they arent exactly threatening but they dont have to be as a point would be a good result Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
