Switching to 5-3-2

[Rodley]

I think it’s pretty inevitable we’ll end up with this formation come the end of the international break as we don’t have any orthodox fullbacks nor have proper wingers. I also think two up top is key.

If that’s the case, it does throw up one or two selection headaches:-

Who is the front two? I’d opt for Ings and Campbell, but tempted by Ings and Cannon.

Who are your wingbacks? Siriki and Burrows for me despite McCallum doing well at the weekend. Not sold on Ogbene as he looks to have lost that explosive pace.

Who are your midfield three? Peck, Davies and Hamer for me.

Be interested to hear others thoughts. UTB

I could never be tempted by Cannon, so it's got to be two of Campbell, Ings and One. Agree about Ogbene. Get Seriki starting regularly and he will really improve us down the right.

It really aught to have been inevitable for those that profess to “influence” what goes on out there on the grass for many a moon now !!!

The lack of understanding of this dynamic attacking formation is laughable tbh.

We chose to go down the “let’s have wingers” route. Flawed. Fundamentally flawed.

I think especially Campbell, like most of the squad, look way off in terms of fitness levels. For me you’ve got to hope Wilder gets these guys properly fit, but especially TC. You’ve got to wonder WTF Selles did over a whole preseason.

Agree on Siriki, he’s ready made for right wing back.

(McGuinness, Ogbene, Peck, Burrows and OHare need taking out of the 11 for a run of games)

52 days he had between being appointed as manager and the 1st game of the season, 7 days in Spain without any fixtures. 7 friendlies to look at players one which was in his mind to start was Anel who on the 5th Aug, 4 days before 1st game proper of the season is sold. Souza sold on 5th July. I am not saying he should have excuses however he didn't exactly get a good chance. In comparison to "Wilder Mk 1" he was appointed on 12 May 2016, we played our 1st game proper on 6th August that year giving Wilder 86 days with the squad, he lost 3 out of his 1st 4 matches with a point at home to Rochdale. A change in manager probably was the right choice but the wrong choice was made.

I'd go 5 3 2 when Ings is fit enough to start but not convinced we will as we didn't do it often last summer either

 

[Harry's Game]

5-3-2 or 4-4-2

The important thing is the. “2”.

 

[KMC-1889]

we don’t have anyone fit enough to play a 5-3-2 or 3-5-2, it ends up with the strikers isolated because everyone is in our own half and don’t have the athleticism to follow the ball up the pitch.

I'd be up for this, though I doubt Wilder will be up for dropping Peck or Burrows. Davies and Soumare could be a decent partnership and push Gus on to support Ings and Campbell.

Not sold at all on McGuinness so its time for Bindon to either prove he's up to the job or bugger off back to Forest - he's got some decent support next to him.

I'd only entertain Cannon if, by some fluke, we wanted to close a game out and whack balls down channels and bring O'Hare on to do some more chasing about with him.

He was appointed on the 18th of June. That’s plenty of time to get players fit. We were an absolutely shambles in every respect, but the fitness is unforgivable IMHO.

McGuinness is much more suited to the Championship than Bindon

As it has been long before Sellés arrived
