I''d also start Martin as well because he looked very sharp when he came on.[/quote]I think that if we start with that midfield away to Millwall, we run the risk of getting mullered in the centre of midfield. Trouble with starting McNamee is that it leaves us a little lopsided, a bit like that bizarre ''one winger'' formation that Glenn Roeder favoured. Remember what happened last time he changed a game from the bench? Lambert brought him into the starting XI away to Doncaster and we got seriously outplayed. I don''t think you can start with both McNamee and Hoolahan away from home without running the risk of being bullied out of the game in the engine room.IMO you need Lappin or possibly even Gill in there to give us more bite and defensive solidity. Lambert won''t have forgotten what happened at Donny. Would probably start Martin ahead of Jackson, then bring the pace of McNamee and Jackson off the bench later on when legs are tiring.

Canary Man of Kent 0 Posted November 6, 2010 I expect Martin in for Jackson and fox in for crofts. Other than that same again I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nexus_Canary 1,016 Posted November 6, 2010 RuddyK.Smith Barnett Ward R.Martin GillLappin Fox WesHolt C.MartinLike the poster above said I feel without Crofts we really need some bite which can be given by Gill or Fox or even both. Hold back McNamme and Jackson to have an injection of pace in the final part of the game.I would have said to leave Holt out in favour of a Jackson & Chrissy Martin partnership but think we need his physicallity vs MillwallI also feel quite strongly about Macca being a Impact player and match winner / changer as opposed to a grind player. Once a opponent manager or player has spotted his movement he can be easily marked out or foiled making him pretty much standard in that you will lose the qualities you desire in him before half time !

Boyo 0 Posted November 6, 2010 I think the diamond has been worked out by other teams and I don''t think we can use it for much longer. However against Millwall who came up with us from League 1 last season I think we can play to our strenghts and keep the diamond for one more game with a few like for like changes. RuddR.Martin Barnett Ward Lappin Gill K.Smith Fox Hoolahan Jackson C.MartinThis is the team that I would play if I was manager however I think Lambert will keep Ruddy in goal instead of bringing in Rudd and he will probably keep Holt in the team aswell.As I have already said I think we can still use the diamond for this game but maybe for Reading away on Saturday we should go to 4-4-2.

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,820 Posted November 6, 2010 [quote user="CT"]Got to start McNamee after his performance today- scintilating![/quote]We said that after the Barnsley game- and looked what happened at Doncaster. McNamee is a fantastic impact player when we need a goal, as the full back always backs off and the centre backs drop, leaving us on the front foot. But against fresh legs, away from home in a 4-4-2, I''m not sure if he is quite right for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]Looks like we are both favouring the Diamond and Gill at the base. Only questions I want to pose to you are :Lappin / K.Smith roles : I see Lappin better put to use in the midfield because Korey is a smaller player. A team like Mill wall will surely need to be bullied in midfield. Korey is tenacious but will he not lose out to more physical players ?I also agree Jackson for Holt, however again looking at the physical approach isnt it better to have dual bruisers in Holt and Martin ?

He clearly does weigh a bit more than most players of his height, but the vast majority of the excess is muscle- he is fucking solid. I also agree that he isn''t quite playing to his potential and wasn''t great today, but I still think he should be the first choice centre forward. Outside of the Premier League, I think you need to have a targetman (of which he is the only one in the squad) as unfortunately pretty much every side lumps the ball forward far too often, and at a place like Millwall, he comes in extra handy.

7rew 0 Posted November 7, 2010 I do wonder if Tuesday wouldn''t be the day to break out a more defensive formation given Millwall''s home record, which is rather good. We lost there last season remember.RuddyRMartin Ward Barnett LappinSmith Gill Fox McNamee Hoolahan CMartinThat is assuming Smith or Drury are unavailable. If not I''d keep McNamee on the bench for Lappin in that spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
