What was the point in Leijjer signing?I would go with an all ou attack like the season we won the title, A point in games is no good now. Clingan has played well when asked to play centre back and we can get rid of the Donkey (This will not happedn unfortunately) I would play Carney as he can cross!!                                                    MarshallOtsemobor                       Shackell            Clingan                      Bertrand

How on earth can Otsemobor keep his place ...... but Adan Drury is very left sided so that must be a non-starter.

------------------Marsh----------------------Semmy---Doc----Shacks---Drury--------Clingan---Russle---Pattison--------------Gow-Lee-Mooney---------I''ve gone for a team that can tackle and pass. Drury needs to be in to give us the experience and positional sense the defence lacks week in week out (I don''t see an alternative at right back). 3 in the middle all with a bit of bite and 3 up front so we might actually threaten their goal.

We need to attack, we need to fight ourselves out of the mess we are in and we need to set out in a different way to yesterday. I''m hoping the reason behind Gow not playing was ensuring he''s fit tomorrow, which in theory was the one you''d target as the more winnable game. Gow is vital.

I dont believe we can afford to play russel, his discipline is a liability, and we cant afford either a sending off or him missing tackles becasue hes been booke.d

Totally agree with this. Play 3 up front and show some balls. Don''t forget this is a must win game.

Perhaps if we had the courage earlier in the season to do this in certain games we wouldn''t be in the cack now.

Gunn must go all out attack against Watford. It is a must win game. No poncing around. Attack from the first minute, high tempo, in the way Liverpool have been playing of late. Everytime Marshall gets the ball, he puts in quick long clearances downfield for our strikers to run onto. The team therefore:

                   Marshall

Smith   Doherty  Shackell   Bertrand

                  Russell Clingan

Croft                                    Gow

                  Mooney  Lee  

Ostemobor dropped for Korey Smith at right back. Russell and Clingan to be told to sit deep and work hard, feeding the four attacking players, who are told to sit high up the pitch, and attack at every opportunity with the two full backs pushing right up. This is a must win game, and we have to go all out to get 3 goals as quickly as possible. And if Watford start causing problems, the strategy reverts to a Mike Walker one - outscore the opposition.

Sadly I fear that''ll never happen. Gunn is looking increasingly clueless and risk averse.

Lee and McDonald starting upfront for me.

I know young Cody is still a rookie and might not be up to the rigours of a Championship start, but he is the most direct player we have. Yes, Croft has all the speed but tends to be a numbed threat due to his crossing and shooting ability, Gow is great at running at defences but keeps his head down far too long, and everyone else we have available ain''t much of a runner.

Every time McDonald gets the ball he does something; first game he scored, second game he almost scored a belter, against Sheffield Wednesday his direct running got Spurr sent off. We need to have a player that gets the crowd up and shouting, and that we know if the ball drops in the 18 yard box he''s likely to snap it in. Lee will supply the muscle  enough to keep those big Watford defenders off of him.

                             Marshall

Otsemobor   Doherty     Shackell   Bertrand

                            Clingan

                            Russell

         Croft                               Gow

               Lee         MacDonald

Go for it with 2 forwards and 2 attacking-orientated midfielders, Russell being as box-to-box as he can, Clingan holding.  Bertrand and Otsemobor to utilize the space in front of them, they have the speed and stamina to hold those areas.

Subs- Mooney, Leijer, Lappin, Adeyemi, Smith

I want some fight in midfield, so Russell''s back in.  Hopefully his brain''s back in his head.                              MarshallOtsemobor    Doc      Shacks      DruryGow          Clingan       Russell      Bertrand                      Mooney     Lee

Attack down the right, keep it tight on the left in a Roeder "great escape" style.

We have no options that make a difference in defence, our best players are the ones that go forward and we have no central midfielder that is worthy of the name.  4-2-3-1 for me,  esp now we have players with pace and energy.  The two deep midfielder clsoe space (neither can tackle so dont pretend to try to win the ball,  just make thing difficult for their runners from midfield,  and try to stop them getting time to shoot) and to cover for the full backs as they go forward,  and whose role is to release the ball for the pacier front four or hit the ball long to the target man.

Marshall

Ots   Doc   Shacks Betrand

      Clingon   Lappin

Croft     Gow      Mooney 

          Lee

Cody on for last 25 mins to re-inject some pace

And remember what we were doing when we won a couple - passion and committment.

Alternatively back to the 4-4-2 that was working

Marshall

Ots   Doc   Shacks Betrand

Croft  Clingon  Russell   Carney

         Gow   Mooney
