HarryBosch Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 i've been thinking........ if he doesn't have a clear out and has to make do and in the unlikely event they're all fit, we're quite overloaded with centre mids and our wingers are crap. how about..... GK Brill/Fleming RB Lomax/Lee/Holdsworth/Purdie CB Gregan CB Hazell/A N Other LB Black/Jacobson CM Lee/Purdie CM Stephens/Furman CM Worthington/Holdsworth Upfront - Abbott/Dickov/Eaves through the middle with Taylor/Smalley/Millar/Colbeck either side. I'd start Taylor, Abbott and Eaves for home games in a rigid 4-3-3 and maybe use Smalley or Millar away on the right of the 3 and revert to 4-5-1 without the ball. Dickov to come off the bench. wot U reckon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I'm not sure Abbott could do the lone striker role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 I'm not sure Abbott could do the lone striker role. he'd be one of 3 at home and could hold it up for runners from the wings and midfield away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect our midfield, and in particular our wingers, to improve dramatically if the manager keeps to his playing philosophies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I agree with this and think that from the players we have we could go 4-3-3 and make an improvement. With what we currently have I would Go with the following Fleming Holdsworth Hazel Gregan Black Lee Furman Stephens Smalley Abbott Taylor Abbot can play the lone striker role aslong as he stays central and doesn't go wide looking for the ball and occupies the 2 centre halfs. Taylor and Smalley can go wide and have abit of attacking freedom interms of getting up and supporting Abbot and interchanging with each other aslong as one drops back into midfield when we are defending we won't get overrun. This may have been the way he was played last season but Furman looks much more of a sitting midfielder than one thats going to get forward so he can sit in midfield and protect the back 4 while Lee and Stephens have the youth and energy to be able to go box to box. I don't think Lee is physically imposing enough to play central midfield in a 4-4-2 but he would work well in a midfield 3 as above. The back 4 could pretty much sort themselves out, add in a few signing here and their you may see an improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
