Player Suggestion Souttar played and scored last night

[ancientblade]

Of course it matters what’s formations other clubs use because you have to have players in the correct positions to counteract the oppositions tactics.

If you play a formation that has an inherent weakness against another formation directly they’ve got the upper hand before a ball is kicked.

I have not dismissed Tanganga lightly either. I think Anel is a better player than Tanganga.

I also think that both Anel and Tanganga are better with a brick shithouse really aerially dominant partner.

I don’t think Tanganga and Anel would compliment each-other as well as what Souttar and Anel did a couple of years ago.

youve answered me there tanganga souttar and anel in a back 3 and we know anel is quite capable of moving out of the back 3 in to midfield during games add to that the fact that both seriki and burrows are both wingbacks not full backs and you must see my point about 352 it has to be worth another try its actually as captain morgan has posted 3412 with o'hare given a free role behind the 2 strikers mind neither cannon nor campbell will get the goals to get us in to the top 8 why wilder is playing cannon and given campbell a new contract is beyond me both bad decisions from a manager who was fantastic first time round but seems devoid of ideas thesedays i find it a bit sad in a way utb ftp

Yes I can see why some people would look at the squad and think that it would be our best line up.

However my point is that if most of the division is playing with wingers and one striker this then gives 352 or 3412 two major flaws.

You are wasting an extra defender against one main striker leaving the midfield and attack a man short

Borrows and Seriki may be comfortable at wing back but when everyone is playing with wingers it leaves a lot of space in behind them down the wings every time the bomb forward.

When it went tits up for us in the premier league first time round under wilder it was partly down to us not recruiting properly in the second season but also top coaches left wide men on the touch line high up the pitch and everytime we bombed forward from wing back or CB, they intercepted and played a diagonal ball to the wide men who had the freedom of the pitch to advance forward. It was simple rinse and repeat against a major flaw.

The way Souttar and McGuiness played on Saturday I would prefer McGuiness.
who is to say that Souttar is going to recapture the form of when he was previously here and that McGuiness is not going to get better?
Similar pace
Similar ability in the air
Souttar is better at organising the defence but our centre backs did well on Saturday.

It us a no brainer to just bring Anel in, leave McGuiness in the squad and then concentrate on a left winger and move on either Campbell or Cannon and replace with an on loan striker with pace and effort.

Easy this management game

 

[HOT CURRIE 10]

I can the the final weeks of the window being;

Souttar goes to Wrexham
Ahmedhodzic joins Southampton

Leaving us with...

Welcome home Robbo

“He's a player we have been keeping an eye for quite a long time “ sigh.

This i agree with wholeheartedly.

McGuinness is the exact sort of defender you need to be able to bring on and, is clearly a great professional, and surely a culture carrier for him to perform the way he has after being embarrassed publicly by wilder.

of course i see your point but i would sooner let opponents worry about our system than the other way round and if opponents are playing 4231 with wingers and only 1 striker our rcb and lcb can spread to cover their wingers but dont forget they would have to sit deeper as well to combat our wingbacks my major concern is that wilder seems incapable of adapting to other teams tactics during games as happened saturday cannon was doing nothing and one should have been brought on at half time not only given 20mins no wonder hes rumoured to be unsettled

Actually a bit surprised if Leicester aren't keen on McGuinness as part of a swap deal. He's a very plausible option at League 1 level and worth at least £2-3m. No injury concerns, a fairly solid head it kick it man.

He's league oney but not Russell Martiny

Financially it might not be doable but as a back up to Souttar or that type I think he is okay

McGuiness has been mom last 2 games and scored. Be so BladeyBladeness to get rid of McGuiness and splash a huge amount on Soutter then Soutter gets injured and McG storms his new club.

If McGuinness plays all season like he did on Saturday, we’ll all be very happy.

Plenty seeing a different game to me.
He was slow
He lacked concentration
He reacted rather than read the game.
Times I saw him turn away from the ball going out and didn’t get his head up before play restarted.
He’s gash.

We all agree he’s not the best centre half we’ve ever had. But he won headers and, along with a solid Tanganga performance, kept a clean sheet. Their strikers were kept very quiet and that made Cooper’s day a lot easier.

 

[Upton_Blade]

Completely agree regards 3-5-2. Squad isn’t built for it. Sign some wingers and stick with 4-2-3-1.

I completely disagree. The squad right now isn't suited to 433 or 4321. If we get the right additions then it will be but whether we can or not remains to be seen.
