York Canary 28 Posted September 25, 2013 RuddyWhittaker Martin Bennett Olsson Redmond Tettey Fer Pilkington RvW Hooper I''m ALL about this team right nowThere''s enough muscle/skill in the middle to take on the Stoke midfield and make things happen with Redmond and Pilks on the wings. Pilks will get back well and interchange with Olsson who has the extra pace and ball-carrying ability over an often-static Garrido. I know Turner is probably a better shout in some ways against Stoke, but I think Martin is needed without Bassong in the team and he''ll help bring the best from Bennett who I like. Redmond on the right is so much better in terms of crosses and balls into the strikers and this will only benefit RvW and Hoops. Pilks and him can always swap around if needed. I''d bring Joshua boy onto the bench too after he took his chance against Watford and to give Snoddy a slap in the chops so he realises there''s more competition and he''s not immune.

It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted September 25, 2013 Assuming Basso is out I would go withRuddyMartin R Bennett Turner GarridoTettey/JohnsonPilks and Redmond on the flanksFer RVW. vs Stoke it is going to be a tough battle in midfield so this will stop us getting overrun and Fer provides a realistic target for long balls, which you have to play sometimes to give more scope to play it on the ground the rest of the time, which I would prefer.

Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted September 25, 2013 [quote user="ReadingCanary"]RuddyWhittaker Bennett Turner OlssonRedmond Fer Tettey PilkingtonHoolahanHooper[/quote]This. I simply don''t understand some people''s problem with Turner. Has been class since his early problems over a year ago! At the end of the Villa game, 2 men saved all their anger and frustration solely to berate Turner as he came off. Aside from the disappointment of losing, Turner was no where near the worst player for us, can''t actually remember him doing much wrong. Again, I just don''t get the problem some have with Turner.

Why play our 3rd and 4th choice centrebacks if we don''t have to?[/quote]Yeah I know it does make sense to play Turner I''m just thinking more that Martin has the leadership and pace when Bassong is out. However, pace may not be the biggest requirement against Stoke so I guess Turner would make sense tbh. As for your declaration of Bassong''s fitness..I pray you''re right! Though hamstring was mentioned, which would indicate longer out of the game. Just hope he''s back asap and that people like Fer, Ruddy etc stay fit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kind of like playing Yaya behind the striker (though I''m sure he''d do well!). I think it''s better to have Tettey sitting and breaking up play and giving the ball to the attacking wingers and/or Fer who can pick his passes and feed the wingers/strikers. I get your thinking, but I just think we''d struggle to create as much with Tettey, Johnson and Fer all in there with 1 striker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,314 Posted September 25, 2013 Assuming Bass is out (because with our club these days no news seems to be bad news on the injury front):RuddyMartin Turner Bennett OlssonSnodgrass Tettey Fer PilkingtonRVW HooperAlthough i understand Hughes has got them playing some better stuff i still don''t think stoke are the sort of side who are going to run rings around us in the midfield so I would be tempted to play both Hooper and RVW for this one. If need to be more conservative then maybe I would play Howson behind Hooper and have RVW on the bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted September 25, 2013 Stoke''s midfield out passed and out played Arsenal at times last week - I think going with a 2 man midfield will just play into their hands. Fer - Tettey - Howson to make up a three man midfield which should provide good balance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snake-eyes 13 Posted September 25, 2013 Hey Reading, don''t be scared but........ .....I agree with you! [:O] The only possible difference is if Bassong is fit, then he would be in for Bennett, but otherwise, spot on my man! Snake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I Love Fernando Derveld 0 Posted September 25, 2013 Not my choice, but this is how I expect Hughton to go following Saturdays/last nights games: Ruddy Martin Turner Bennett Olsson Fer Tettey HowsonSnodgrass Pilkington V. WolfswinkelMuch as I would like Hooper and Redmond to start can''t see it as they both played 120 mins + midweek. I do expect however, Hughton to change it up if things aren''t going well, and it''s never bad having in-form attacking players coming of the bench when defenders get tired Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Wall Of Tettey 0 Posted September 25, 2013 Can''t see how anybody has hoolahan near the starting 11 after his performance at Watford. Took far too long on the ball, and even when he beat his man he decided to turn and try to beat him again. Also Murphy coming off the bench against a championship team doesn''t warrant a start in the premier league considering the wingers we already have. Pilks is back fit, Murphy needs a loan out and game time. Tettey had a good game and fer was different class. Olsson far better at LB than LM and better than garrido IMO. I''d give RvW and hooper the nod providing he''s fit. Doesn''t have to be a rigid 442 just because its how it looks on the team sheet. Either can get back and positions can be switchedRuddyWhittaker bassong/Martin turner olssonRedmond fer tettey pilksHooper RvW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He''s game is not getting the ball and threading killer passes, he plays off the shoulder of the last defender and always looks to run behind. RVW doesn''t like to see much of the ball, it''s not his game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think there both your classic out and out striker. Unless you just push both up in a traditional 4-4-2, but I''m not sure they will work that well togther. I think their both a bit similar.
