dean 1984 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 i think he will start with hughes and lewis tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Maybe he'll be tempted with Maher and Ratters with it being away at Leeds? I think Hughesy and Lewis might be our most natural front two pairing, spose it depends whether Shez wants O'Grady's pace to get behind them. O'Grady and Smalley would be hell of a pair to throw on as an attacking substitution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigfinLatic Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 1.Crossley 2.Eardley 16.Gregan © 14.Hazell 12.Lomax 22.Liddell 8.Allott 7.Whitaker 18.Taylor 11.O'Grady 9.Hughes Subs. 13.Fleming 6.Stam 15.Maher 24.Smalley 25.Alessandra --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personally id stick lewis up with hughesy but can see shez stickin with O'grady, ive got a feeling we are going to get a point. All i can say, is that if Shez plays Liddell on the right, directly against Robinson - It will be tactical suicide. Now, let me put that into context, it is not because of my usual dislike for Lids, fair enough he looked lively against Miiiii, it is purely about who he is playing against... Now if anyone saw the highlights of Leeds Vs Scunny/Chester ... everything went through Robinson and down the left.... and he battered the respective full-backs.... we have to have someone who can both track him back, and also force him to do a little defending too... otherwise we will get ripped to shreds.... Leeds are too good at keeping the ball so liddell isnt going to be getting the ball to his feet and using it - we have to have Taylor or Smalley over there who will work thier asses off to counter Robinson.... I possibly could even see us doing the 4-5-1 thing, O'grady on the left, whittaker supporting hughesy from midfield through the middle.... the whole way to beat leeds is to outwork them and not let them have time on the ball in midfield - I hope shez plays a team taking that into account....

razza699 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Would love to see O grady left side Taylor right with Lewi and Hughes up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Would love to see O grady left side Taylor right with Lewi and Hughes up front. O'Grady isn't a winger and he most definitely isn't left footed as proven by Tuesday night. He could get to the by-line but just didn't look comfortable crossing or passing. As we have no natural left sided option it has to be Taylor imo. Should be Smalley on the right but I get the impression Shez doesn't like to upset the older lot (Gregan, Norman, Lids etc) so I won't be surprised if Lids starts.

ste1987 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I would go for pretty much the same side that played against millwall after the subs were made. Crossley Eardley Hazell Gregan Lomax Liddell Allott Whitaker Taylor Hughes Alessandra SUBS: Fleming Stam Maher O'Grady Smalley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself, wouldnt mind seeing Smalley and Taylor on the wings ... giving us real pace on both wings, with Liddell just behind Hughes. Sounds good to me. Maybe a 4-4-1-1 type formation with Maher and Ratters protecting the back four. Look to counter attack with the pace on the wings? Also I think the craft of Lidds behind Hughesy could be fearsome.

I think the emergence of Alessandra takes away some of the call for Lids to play that role. He might not have the experience and know-how yet but he is one hell of a fast learner. Him and Hughes seem to be one the same wavelength already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a Liddell fan but I wouldnt have any problem with that. It's testament to Lewis that some would pick him over Lidds in that role. However I thoroughly expect Lidds to take up his position on the right of midfield.....and I reckon he'l play a blinder with it being Elland Road.

Markoasis Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Lets be honest we should go into each game looking to win and being postive. However, this should be our biggest test away from home this season in the league.... do we go into this for a point or is attack always the best form of attack???? Leeds are on a big high at the moment, last time we played them they had started to struggle so against my better nature I think we should start slightly defensive with both Maher / Allott as Robinson / Beckford are looking a handful, but with two big strong guys at the front holding the ball up and hopfully not allowing Leeds to play the ball out from the back. We now have enough attacking quality on the bench to turn the game on its head and go for the kill once the game settles..... Crossley Eardley Hazell Gregan Lomax Maher Allott Whitaker Taylor Hughes O'Grady SUBS: Fleming Stam Lidds Lewis Smalley Although ........... really haven't made my mind up regarding Lidds as he'll love the big pitch.

brownaldo29 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Dont change a winning team. Granted we were losing before the magical subs come on but i would stick with the 11 that started against millwall and see how they get on! I do think smalley should play some part though! COME ON THE BLUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonesyOAFC Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 If I was the manager (which thankfully for you lot i'm not) i'd pick...

Simpo Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I think there's a case to argue for a few different players to play. O'Grady and Hughes would have the presence to give Leeds' big centre halfs a battle, helped by Liddell's balls onto their heads, but then again, you may say why should we try and challenge them where they may be at their strongest? Maybe it would be better to focus on where they're more susceptible, and get at them with Smalley's pace and Lewis' trickery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it's nothing against Lidds that i'd prefer Smalley in the starting 11, I just feel we've got more of a chance of beating Leeds with pace, especially seeing as they're extremely good defensively.

JonesyOAFC Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Stam fullback? Jonesey Out! Why not? He's left footed, good on the ball, and solid defensively. He'd be a much better LB than Taylor, that's for certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's left footed, and hoofs it every single time. Is solid sometimes. Much rather have Taylor at LB over him. Then again, Id rather have Lomax LB over Taylor. Don't understand all this fascination with Stam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
