Sharp done

I swear Basham has been at fault for nearly every goal we have conceded since he came back from suspension.

He's now played CB CM and RWB and wasn't as good a the player he replaced.
Great squad player but I really feel wilder is shoehorning him in every week.

Done does the work to free up sharp and others, Billy is the best striker in the league leave him to get in goal scoring positions.

All the other attackers have their attributes but done should start.
 

Bit of a problem for Chris, but he see's Bash as an integral part of the team wherever he play's him. I actually agree with the posters team selection but the run we are on shows that Wilder knows his onions.
 
In a long league 1 season a player like Basham is useful. Not right to be changing things up too much after 15 games unbeaten. A couple of quality additions in January would make the need for him less apparent, although his versatility could always prove to be important.
 
I've said it before but Done's work rate is crucial. He doesnt give defenders time on the ball, he pressures and presses the whole opposition team. He causes mistakes and he's always on hand if there's a quick break or if there's a slip in defence.
Does he need 5 chances to score one? absolutely. Does he hold the ball up and bring Sharp and the wingers into play, not really, but whil Clarke isn't doing those parts that we'll either- Done has to play.
As for Basham, I like him, he does some great things but He never gets in defence ahead of Wright for me.
 
I think the reason Wilder likes to start Basham as one of the three centre backs is that if the formation isnt working and he wants to revert to 4-4-2 during the game, Basham is the only player he feels confident enough in switching from centre back to midfield, as he did against MK Dons when we looked like getting over run. That switch altered the flow of the game and effectively won it for us.
 
Must say I've not been that impressed witih Lavery's little cameo's so far...there's been a few slagging Clarke off but there was a massive hole when he came off which allowed their CB's ( who were good) to dictate the game and increase the pressure.

Bash did 'ok' in general play yesterday, apart from dragging that sitter wide when through on the keeper ( was Bash wasn't it?) and maybe the defending on our goal...

With hindsight I'd have brought Chapman on instead of Lavery and stretched them down both wings with Billy right down the middle.

Still, we're playing well and Charlton had some decent players...hopefully back to winning ways Tuesday.

UTB!

It depends on the game but I think we'll all agree that it should be 3-5-2 and Moore, EEL, O'Connell, Coutts, Fleck, Duffy and Sharp should always start.

Jake Wright should be one of the first names on that list

When we're at home in games we'll dominate I'd start EEL in the middle with Basham and O'Connell either side to offer more on the ball and contribute to attacks. The last two home games being perfect examples. The 7 I've named are the ones who should always start, in any game.

I understand that but seems a bit extreme to disrupt our defence so as not to use up a substitute

I think you perhaps underestimate the role which Wright plays. He goes about his business relatively unnoticed as he is always in the position where he needs to be, but he is constantly talking to the other two Centre Halves as well as Fleck and Coutts. He's a captain in everything except he doesn't have the arm band.

After Moore, he's the next name on the team sheet for me.
 
Moore

Wright. EEL . O'Connell or Basham or Lafferty

Coutts or Reed or Whiteman. Fleck.
Freeman (WB) Chapman (WB)
Duffy

Sharp ( hopefully Lavery in contention before much longer) Clarke

Nope, I don't underestimate anything. I just think we can get by without him in some games. It's not like the defence has looked terrible when he's not been on the pitch. He is the one Wilder tends to take off for attacking tactical reasons. Maybe we'll take the step of starting without him soon. Because Wilder definitely doesn't like leaving Basham out.
 

Wright is the organiser. If you watch set pieces and throw ins, he's organising his troops. The only time Wright doesn't play for me is when we don't play with 3 at the back.

A 352 formation has to be organised because done well, the outside cb's can go forward and become the full back, but you need someone to make sure the right wing back can drop back in as well. 352 is probably the best formation if organised well.

Wilder certainly sees Basham as dependable and he doesn't tend to leave him out because he slots in.

Wilder has subbed Wright at times, but i think that Wright is certainly one of the first names on the team sheet for Wilder, Basham, O'Connell and EEL don't offer what Wright does, which is leadership and organisation

If Wright didn't come in when I did, I doubt this run would have started.
 
Don't understand the Basham bashing, he's asked to play in just about every position to cover injuries and always gives it 110% - OK not the best crosser of a ball and he ain't going to lash in a 30 yarder, we'd be weaker without him.

I've no problem with Basham, successful teams need a utility player like him. He always does a job and at centre half he kept the shirt for a while, again during this unbeaten run

I don't disagree with you but the fact is, when we have a fully fit squad, we have better players in every position he's played

Nice one.

I can see how you are struggling to decide between coutts or reed. Its a tricky one based on the games we've seen so far this year.

Also, Chapman as a left wing back, great idea. Based on what?
 
I think we need to have a look at Chapman or Lavery alongside Sharp instead of Done or Clarke, although I think the cup game may be a better time to take that gamble rather than the must win home game in the League.

Reed! He needs to be somewhere like Matlock on loan.
Whitemans just not ready.
Chapman as a wing back please explain.

Explain? OK, I love to see players who have pace, mobility and skill in positions which build play. Chapman is a winger who could play wing back in a side which has a strong, strong Back 3.

Perhaps you could explain why Lafferty, a full back, is suited to the role? What does he bring to the table?

Added to that, I believe in a 'pathway' for youth.

Wing backs also have to defend something that doesn't come natural to Chapman he's an out and out front man whether wide or in a central strikers role.
Lafferty can tackle and deliver a decent cross he's not brilliant but does a job.
 
You can get away with a winger at wing back as long as the balance is right elsewhere. You don't need both wing backs to be the same. I have occasionally seen teams lining up in that asymmetrical sort of way. In games we're likely to dominate I'd try Chapman wide left, as a left midfielder primarily but with a bit more defensive responsibility. O'Connell and Fleck would cover for him quite well.
