Libbra Lives in Dubai 0 Posted November 15, 2007 Hard situations call for hard solutions and here''s 11 hard asses ready to give there all... If only it were true...If we can control the ball in the middle of the park perhaps we can create a tempo for the game and maybe a few chances. I''m not sure its THE formula but I would gamble on it to break our string of bad results. I would also consider playing Brellier deeper and omitting Mr Huckerby (with Pattison going out on the left).

BCanary 0 Posted November 15, 2007 Like the idea of a five man midfield - just not the 3 man defence! MarshallSemi / Taylor / Shackell / Drury (when fit, obviously)Croft / Pattison / Russell / Hucks Chadwick CuretonThis is of course assuming that Pattison is better than what we''ve got. If that don''t work - take Chadders off and bring Dublin on for the last 20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Chops 7 Posted November 15, 2007 You can''t play 3-5-2 if Huckerby is playing wide as he won''t get back and you''ll get screwed over in the dodgy left back position time and time again.I''m selecting Pattison because I assume Roeder knows what he''s doing: MarshallOtsemobor Dublin Taylor Lappin (oh dear)Chadwick Russell Pattison Huckerby Brown CuretonNo, this team''s rubbish. No left back coverage, Pattison covering for Huckerby instead of getting forward - it has no balance.At the risk of sounding like Marvin the paranoid android, doing this has only served to depress me further.

breaker2 0 Posted November 15, 2007 This is current, with out hucks, drury.----------------------------------------------------------Marshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Murray--------------------------Taylor----------------------Shackell------------------------------Semmy--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Lappin----------------------------------------------------------Brellier------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chadwick--------------------------------------------------------------------Pattison----------------------------------------------------------------------Cureton----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Strihavka--------------------------------------------------------- I know it looks a little complex, but semmy and Lappin i think would be bet employed as wingbacks, and Brellier would get my choice as Defensive mid over Russel for the moment.This formation would mean easily rotating between 5-4-1 when defending and 3-5-2 when attacking, a versatile formation but one that other players can come into, Crofty, Hucks, Dublin, Spillane...the only problem is, is Drury attacking enough to play successfully as a wing back?

slater 0 Posted November 15, 2007 Oooh crikey, I think anything other than 4-4-2 would more harm than good at the moment. if you take a look at our statistics for possesion the biggest problem seems to be that we hardly ever have any. Play whoever you need to to win and pass the ball in midfield and then surround them with our best players. So....                                       MarshallSemi              Taylor             Dublin (c)      Loan LB Chadwick Russell Pattison  Huck                             Cureton                  Loan Target manI get the feeling that Roeder is going to get loans in these positions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

london Canary 0 Posted November 16, 2007 virtually everyone has done a different team.....at the moment, who knows?!?!?Maybe??Marshallsemi martin shackell (loan/signing) drury (loan/signing)Croft russell (loan) brellier (loan/signing) Hucks/pattisoncrueton loan/signing 4-5 more loans/signings we''ll be alright......i''m not joking! russel and brellier will not save us from this mess.....we need someone else to get the goals (ameobi)......i don''t think shackell is up to it....drury has had his day and needs to be replaced, at the very least we need cover for this position. The only position i''m really happy about is in goal, marshall. And martin at centre back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mason 47 1,379 Posted November 16, 2007 C.T.s formation will do for me, or breaker2 Its easy to pick out targets when the whole team is doing badly, most of our players would be excellent if we were doing wel Lappin Dave Semmy etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
