Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted October 18, 2014 Getting started early...RuddyMartin hoiveld turner OlssonHewson tetteyRedmond Hoolahan lafferty(?)Jerome4-4-2 not working. Hoolahan not as effective, not winning the battle in midfield, left exposed on the counter attack which is how teams are setting up to play against us, Grabbans been poor for a number of games, Martin not a CB....

Viva Marc Libbra 0 Posted October 18, 2014 Hoolahan went off injured today with a suspected ankle injury. I doubt he will be fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 11,136 Posted October 18, 2014 Hoolahan looks like he might be out for a while. So a sad excuse to force a change in Adams'' plans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,474 Posted October 18, 2014  My starting 11.... Ruddy, Whittaker, Martin, Miquel, Olsson Redmond, Odjadji, Howson, Murphy Laffs & Jerome.. 4-4-2 with wide wingers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 4,151 Posted October 18, 2014 Howson in for Wes was well overdue, it is a shame if an injury is what it takes to bring it about but I think it will strengthen us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 11,136 Posted October 18, 2014 Why drop Turner? He''s the least of our problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted October 18, 2014 [quote user="Viva Marc Libbra"]Hoolahan went off injured today with a suspected ankle injury. I doubt he will be fit.[/quote]Ok put in VOO for Hoolahan, play Howosn as the furthest forward of a midfield 3 in a 4-3-3. If lafferty still injured put in Murphy, if hoiveld still injured put in any other CB, not a RB playing at CB. My point was more about the formation. 4-4-2 has been poor and we need a rethink. This is obviously now the biggest test for Adams so far as we''re stuck in this poor run. We haven''t become a bad team, just need to work out ways of getting through the parked buses but playing the same formation each week hoping for a difference is foolish (some would even say the definition of insanity) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canarycop 232 Posted October 18, 2014 Exactly the team in my thoughts. Hopefully Lafferty will be ok for Tuesday so a bench of Whittaker Lafferty Hooper Rudd Loza ONeil and Grab anShows strength of squad and time we changed things about Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dubai Mark 0 Posted October 18, 2014 Yes LDC...yes......"Get some controlled possession in midfield"...I agree 100% with that comment. For me NA is simply setting the side and tactics up wrong.....I need to add that the controlled possession must come from the start of the match. Right now we have a BMW of a squad at this level being driven by a driver who has yet to pass his test and it is beginning to show unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grefstad 0 Posted October 18, 2014 I for one think Adams will want to go a bit more direct on Tuesday.Our dillydallying with possession has not produced chances, and Wes´injury might actually be a blessing in disquise.I think we will play 4-4-2 vs Leeds, with wingers, Jerome and Laffs on top. Murphy to start, Redmond on the other wing.BJ on the bench, with Howson in for him. Tettey to keep his place.Miquel may well be worth a start. Thought he did well in the U21 vs Tottenham, but opposition was young and inexperienced in that game.If we go 4-4-2 we need midfielders to push up and win the second balls, and BJ is not the guy. Howson can be the guy, and Tettey can sit.I also expect both Hooper and Odidja to get game time.If Elliott Benneth had some sort of form, he would be a choice o the right, with Redmond moved to the left, but Benno is way out of form, and does not look to be close to the first team at the moment.Lafferty is s sure starter if fit.I think both Jerome and Grabban should look over their shoulders, as Loza may well get a few games, if Hooper takes longer to get fit.Oh...Benno should be played as a fightback Got some minimum of pace, which Whitt and Martin does not have. Best shot of a place in the team for Benno is right back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rock bus 1,062 Posted October 18, 2014 I can honestly say I had forgotten that we had Elliot bennett!!!Shame as he did show good promise but perhaps shows how far Murphy has come.I agree hoolahan''s injury may be a blessing in disguise, I would like to see Murphy given a start and Lafferty in somewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
