hucks mullett 0 Posted February 18, 2005 I just hope that Greeno playing left back for Svenn doesn''t give Worthington ideas. Lets face it:Huckerby/Bentley/Mcveigh are not left wingersJonsson/Henderson/Jarvis are not right wingers!In fact, do we have any Wingers?!! Bring back Foggo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tacklebury 0 Posted February 18, 2005 You raise an interesting point here, and one that I''ve often wondered about - if we don''t have any out-and-out wingers (and I agree that no-one at the club seems totally comfortable playing as a winger) why don''t we just change our formation so that they''re not important? Perhaps, with players such as Helveg and Brennan available, don''t we change to wingbacks? This would allow us 3 centre halves (two mark strikers, with one free as a sweeper) and it would also allow us to play Francis and A.N.Other central midfielder, with Hucks in behind the strikers of Ashton and A.N.Other. Perhaps Jarvis deserves another chance - his last appearance produced an excellent goal against Liverpool, and gave us a glimpse of what he''s capable of.Given that a flat back four has struggled defensively all season, maybe a back five would tighten up enough. We could also allow Shackell a chance in this shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Splendid Rush 0 Posted February 18, 2005 Are you suggesting: Green Fleming Doc CharltonHelveg Brennan Francis Holt Huckerby Ashton Leon That might just crazy enough to work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted February 18, 2005 Just becasue a player has played in another position for a previous club, doesn''t mean he has to play there for us. I think Hucks is most effective on the left. Worthy must do too otherwise he wouldn''t put him there. Jonson was brought to the club as a right sided midfielder. He wasn''t brought here to play up front Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blacko 0 Posted February 18, 2005 Tacklebury I like that suggestion, clearly what we are doing does not work so it may be worth a try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3pmkickoff 0 Posted February 18, 2005 From Sky SportsNigel Worthington is close to completing the signing of free agent Neil Warnock in time for the home clash with Man City. Worthington has been on the look out for a classy whinger to provide some much needed width for some time."We haven''t had an out and out whinger at the club for some time since Bellamy left. Needless to say I''m delighted to secure the services of Neil, he should be available for the Man City game providing he''s not recieved a 3-match ban for berating officials over something on Saturday"In other transfer matters Norwich will not be pursuing their interest in former striker David Neilsen."He was on trial for a few days but his fisting was painful to watch" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMO Hux has only been effective on the left when he has been switched to that position during the game. He has been less effective when he has started out there.

Fluff 0 Posted February 18, 2005 You dont really even need to go three at the back. A three man midfield consisting of two defencive midfielders and Francis would be ok, you would get the width if the full backs done their jobs! but Hucks needs to play a free role. B''std to defend against. Unshackle the Shackel! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fluff 0 Posted February 18, 2005 P.S. Jonsson may have been brought here as a right sided midfielder, but he is a right forward, same as rivers. NO GOOD out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kennyfoggo 0 Posted February 18, 2005 I might be a little slow now to have a go down the right, but if I get the call..will give it me best shot... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bananaman 0 Posted February 19, 2005 There''s a reason that Hucks is only effective when put out on the left during a game, rather than at the beginning of the game, Saint. Because the opposition can get their tactics right from the first whistle and get one or two men to mark him out of the game. But when we switch halfway through a half, the other team loses him completely and it let''s him run riot. This to me says that he should always be started up front, then move out wide if the going gets tough.He is still a striker though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
