Indy 3,471 Posted January 26, 2015 Depends on fitness, Howson still banned.I don''t buy into two holding midfielders we adopted this under Hughton and it''s not gone away!4-1-3-2 for me.Whittaker, Martin, Bassong, Olsson JohnsonBennett, Wes, Redmond Jerome, GrabbanThats the starting 11 for me. Yes we have injuries and if Tettey or others were fit then fine change it, I''m going on the idea that those injured will still not be fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adycakes 8 Posted January 26, 2015 I quite like that team, but I think I''d swap Bennett & Redmond over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Wal 315 Posted January 26, 2015 Elliot Bennett seems a very nice bloke .......... but what on earth did either he or Lafferty give us on Saturday.Just remember that Murphy is now getting the same comments about his game that Redmond was getting about six months ago and Redmond is now our most valuable player.If we are to play two wingers it must be Redmond and Murphy.Personally I would go for a 442 with Johnson left, providing Tettey and O''Neill are fit.

Yellow Wal 315 Posted January 26, 2015 ......... and Stan, haven''t you seen enough of Redmond on the left.He is proving to be a very good RIGHT winger! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeremy God 0 Posted January 26, 2015 why is everyone dropping Hooper? Jerome was caught offside a million time sat and one practically nothing in the air! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Wal 315 Posted January 26, 2015 Sorry, I should have put my full team (although it is really too early because of injury news):I haven''t dropped Hooper!RuddyMartin Turner Bassong OlssonRedmond Rettey O''Neill JohnsonHooper Jerome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JF 694 Posted January 26, 2015 Please tell me Rettey isn''t our new midfield signing from the Scottish lower leagues!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginja 43 Posted January 26, 2015 RuddyMartin Turner Bassong Olssen TetteyRedmond Hoolahan Johnson Hooper JeromeJust musing about a potential formation, I don''t really like the idea of Hoolahan but with O''Neil and Howson out, I''m not sure.Depends somewhat on the injury to Tettey as well and Bassong may well be currently performing shit in training so that''s a bit of a blind guess.Maybe Neil should play himself in midfield... can''t do any worse than Whittaker!

JF 694 Posted January 26, 2015 It''s looking more a case of the teams motivation and hunger for the match than the actual players chosen in the starting 11. I will go for the team spirit that outplayed Derby on their own patch for this weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 335 Posted January 26, 2015 Bennett? Had no impact when coming on and was worse than Lafferty who at least covered the AWOL Olsson. Not for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vos 176 Posted January 26, 2015 Can see no reason to play Bennett. He just has not moved on since coming here. Anonymous on Saturday. He has had enough chances, I would let him go.I thought Hooper and Jerome were beginning to look useful and developing a good understanding. Admittedly Hooper had a poor game against Brentford but appeared to be playing more up front but of course we did not have a midfield. So would stick with him at Birmingham although fail to understand why the experienced Jerome was caught offside on so many occasions.Difficult to name a side as we have several doubts through injury. By the way why do we have so many players out injured !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STAN 30 Posted January 26, 2015 Yellow wall, i''m not Eliott Bennetts biggest fan either. I also agree that in ideal world we''d leave Redmond on the right.But this isn''t an ideal world and in my opinion we haven''t got a left winger worthy of starting. I can''t agree that the things being said about Murphy are the same as Redmond was getting 6 months ago. Murphy is still a long way off being a regular starter for Norwich.

GJP 79 Posted January 26, 2015 Ruddy, Turner, Bassong, Tettey (if fit), Redmond and Jerome.Pick names out of a hat for the other positions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellow Green Army 248 Posted January 26, 2015 Yep, Garrido the player who once played for Man City and has never let us down when given a chance. Why not, cannot do any worse than any of the pther defenders who have performed so poorly lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why not, cannot do any worse than any of the pther defenders who have performed so poorly lately.[/quote]I think Olsson may be on his way before the window closes, so it might be worth getting Garrido back into the team on a ''needs must'' basis. We lack a natural left winger, and I think Olsson has the pace and dynamism to do a decent job. For one match only, I would go with:RuddyMartin Cuellar Turner GarridoRedmond Tettey (if fit) Johnson OlssonHoolahanJeromeIt looks quite defensive, but should give us a good grip on midfield. 4-5-1 away from home is a good option when you have a creative player of Wes''s class to play behind a striker, similar to Pritchard''s role for Brentford on Saturday. If Tettey''s injured then I guess it''ll be a diamond with Wes at the point, unless Vadis shows up on the radar again - anyone know if he''s close to a comeback?Whatever happens, we need to sign a left-sided midfielder before the window closes, even if it''s on loan.If Olsson stays, he takes LB back from Garrido for the Blackpool match. If Olsson goes, we spend the money on Stephen Hendrie and a LM (loan or permanent, depending on money available). If Redmond leaves, we can wave goodbye to the top six.
