westcoastcanary 173 Posted November 1, 2017 Wouldn''t that leave us missing Naismith''s nous :-) ? On that subject, I actually think Murphy IS missing Naismith''s nous! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray 111 Posted November 1, 2017 Yep, a decision not lightly made, but rather than just take the mick Westcoast why not suggest your own formation and team? Surely I''m not the only one on here wistfully thinking that far ahead or may be I''m deluding myself in even considering a time with no injuries? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 108 Posted November 1, 2017 GunnPinto, Zimmerman, Hanley, Klose, StiepermanTrybullPritchard, MaddisonOliveriaMatthews, Martin, Raggett, Wes, Jerome, YanickI like the idea of 3 c/b with fullbacks that can make a back 5 and push forward more to support the midfield, thought Wolves did it brilliantly last nite, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westcoastcanary 173 Posted November 1, 2017 Not micky taking Ray, just a gentle bit of ribbing :-) and I meant it about Murphy. He has a lot to learn and Naismith has a lot of relevant experience to pass on to his benefit. I hope it is happening off the pitch even if not on it.

Ray 111 Posted November 1, 2017 Seems like you''re full of confidence Lessingham, only putting ten out there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray 111 Posted November 1, 2017 Ribbing/micky taking, you call it tomato I call it......Agree re Murphy, needs help, although imo this should include psychologically too, the body follows the brain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 8,758 Posted November 1, 2017 I do think we''ve got the players for 3 at the back so I''d ape the formation Chelsea play with their 3-4-3GunnHanley, Zimmerman, KlosePinto, Trybull, Tettey, SteipermannMaddison, PritchardNelsonIf we wanted to be a bit more attacking you can put Wildschut in one of the wingback roles.If we stick with this formation though I''d say...GunnPinto, Hanley, Klose, SteipermannTrybull, TetteyWildschut, Maddison, PritchardNelson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keith Scott 294 Posted November 1, 2017 Oh look Ray has started a thread just so he can mention how ''his mate Russ'' should be in the starting eleven despite all the evidence proving otherwise....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray 111 Posted November 1, 2017 I feel for you, I really do. Which is my choice and nothing to do with whether you care or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hairy Canary 754 Posted November 1, 2017 Usually get all sorts of permutations on this sort of thread but there is actually quite a consensus for once (Ray''s inclusion of Martin being a notable exception). Personally I would go exactly as King Canary has it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray 111 Posted November 1, 2017 As Hairy says, from those that have posted a formation/ team quite a consensus, with the exception of my inclusion of RM and Lessingham''s decision to field only ten players, love that optimism Lessingham.My main concern is that come January, if we are not there or there abouts there may be two or three who will no longer be wearing the yellow and green shirt!

nutty nigel 7,902 Posted November 1, 2017 Kingo''s first team is what I think too. I''d probably play Hanley in the centre of the three at the back though.Although I wouldn''t imagine that eleven would all be fit at the same time very often... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray 111 Posted November 1, 2017 If Kingo''s selection was the one, then I agree Nutty, however I think injuries may well be second to ''still here''. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray 111 Posted November 1, 2017 I can imagine there may well be enquiries for;KloseOliveira/Pritchard (if fit)MaddisonPintoAnd may be a a few others? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 335 Posted November 2, 2017 The question is how to keep attacking width with defensive solidity while accommodating two from the 5/6 no 10s... 3241 may work best with the players we have if we ever find that elusive all fit Valhalla GunnFranke Zimmermann Klose Trybull Thomson Wildschut. Pritchard Maddison Steipermann OliveiraPinto, Lewis, Murphy, Jarvis all as wing back options for wildschut and Steipermann, depending on the game Wes Naismith for maddison and Pritchard. Taken your pick from Martin Hanley or franke as 3rd cb I chose the latter as the one with longer term potential.4141 could also work, perhaps once Lewis returns to full fitness.

Ray 111 Posted November 2, 2017 Must admit I forgot about Thomson, sloppy on my behalf but makes it a more interesting conundrum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 335 Posted November 2, 2017 All we can do is hope that Louis can recover and gain the strength to allow him a decent run of games - unfulfilled talent at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
