josh_latics Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I'd be gobsmacked if Davies doesn't start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see Tope as a central striker. Me neither on all 3 fronts. However, I think they'll all happen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLaughlin & Tope on the wings. Fane + whoever in the middle, Davies & Holloway upfront Not a fan of leaving a young lad with hardly any game time under his belt exposed at left back with Tope's lack of workrate going back, if 4-4-2 think it will be Dummigan & Hunt as full backs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 If we can make a midfield partnership work, we're perfect for a 4-4-2. Not sure we have the personnel capable, but Fane and Green would still be my go-to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, agree - I meant the setup more than anything and McLaughlin/Tope on the wing. I presumed Hunt and Dummigan are the choice of full backs anyway.

youngen Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) 4-5-1 Davies or Duffus central, Mclaughlin/Tope wide. Green Flynn Banks midfield. Dummigan/Hunt full backs. Holloway in the sticks. That would be mine, I like Holloway, but I also like goals Edited August 2, 2017 by youngen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id play Duffus if hes fit again. Think the midfield is garbage and we need 3 in there. Only way I can see is dropping a striker out. Davies & Holloway very similar, Davies will find the net more often so get Tope and Mclaughlin whipping in for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scored 2 in 2 and won both pens in the 90 mins of pre season he played. When strikers are hot theyre hot, regardless of competition. Same reason I would play Tope. Think Shez has some big decisions on strike force this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I'd go 4-4-2 Keeper (god knows who that will be) Dummigan Clarke Gerrard Hunt McLaughlin Fane Green Odebayi Davies Holloway The key role here will be Green's He would have to be the one that has to show discipline and sit and doesn't get ahead of the ball and as the experienced head in that midfield he should be capable of doing that and should now want to do that rather than play box to box. If he does that then the others can pretty much play their natural games and chances will be created and goals should be scored. Still feel the squad is a couple of signings light but its a much stronger side than the one we put out against Millwall 12 months ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Torquay away under Talbot being worse, but this performance was the most hopeless I've seen from a Latics side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands on Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Two 4 4 2s last night but I hope he goes 3 4 3… Clarke, Gerrard and either Stott or Edmundson Dummigan, Fane, Green (I know he will play Banks) and Hunt McLaughlin, Holloway and Davies planing to bring on Duffas of Fawns second half. With Dummigan/McLaughlin and Hunt/Davies moving forward and back as we attack and defend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 A lot of people still slagging Banks off. I reckon if he can bag a goal and/or a good performance in this game, or a couple early season, that could make a big difference to his & our year... Otherwise the usual suspects seem to have decided on their target early doors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
