Arblaster a Number 10

[Alex Cheeseright]

Could he be COH replacement? I get he's not playing like he did and it's a big ask. But......does he have the makings of a 10?

 

[Zeblades34]

I get the impression we're going to see a formation change and play a flat 3 in midfield and a back 5

 

[GeorgeDonis1889]

He might be the best option we have. Probably need to tweak it a bit but he's the only player we have now who at least has some of the attributes to be effective there.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Too slow now.

Neither is Norman Sydie Wisdom

Out of our current midfielders, I think he’s the most well equipped when he’s fully fit and match sharp. He’s happy receiving the ball under pressure and is quick to spot a pass. He’d need to develop the ability to get in behind at the right time and be confident enough to take responsibility and shoot.
I’d say he definitely has it in him.

Fucking hell, no.

No.

Issue is, Hamza and Doherty aren't RWBs, and is McCallum gets hurt, RND struggles offensively

 

[Roygbiv]

I don't see it. He isn't a dribbler, doesn't get in the box, and isn't very fast. The fact he's still struggling in his normal position after his injury suggests it wouldn't be a great idea to shoehorn him in a position he's not really played before

 

[Bladeloyal]

Looking forward to blaster playing a more forward role

Rnd has been good going forward last couple of appearances

 

[KMC-1889]

Blaster wont be playing further forward, if anyone it'll be Peck who played there when they were in the 21s.

 

[NerdyBlade]

It's just whether he can maintain it

 

[Bladeloyal]

Think rnd will start tonight

No

 

[SuperSonicBlade89]

Cooper might be also be good at the Number 10 role.

Let's just play every player out of position and see what happens...

 

[Zeblades34]

looking forward to blaster playing it forward Corrected it for you pal

We will see ,

You must be privy to Wilder secret plans?

 

[FTPE]

Nope

 

[Champagneblade]

End of the day we have enough players.

It’s not like we’re down to the bare bones.

It’s down to Wilder to get a formation with what is left, especially when the International Break arrives.

He is going to get people’s backs up if he tries too much to make the players bend to the formation. If he doesn’t get a 10, if that’s what he really wants, then he needs to bin off this formation and pick one which suits the players.

4-3-3 or 5-3-2 gives you that midfield 3 without needing a 10. 4-4-2 you don’t need one. Only issue with 5-3-2 is that Seriki being injured impacts the effectiveness. It’s a shame Drameh was only made available today. But I suppose at some point you simply have to pull the trigger.

 

[NathTheBlade]

No

 

[Swannyblade]

Surely it's got to be 4-3-3. It's the only way we can fit in both BBD and Donovan. Take either of them out and I'm not seeing any attacking threat.

 

[loyalblade95]

Not a bad shout but you'd question whether he had the energy to lead the press for the entire game, given it's not his natural position.

It's a position that demands a lot of energy in games, O'Hare was so good at it because he never seemed to tire and was always pressing when he could.

It's the same with Rothwell, he's got an eye for a pass and he's not shy of shooting, but he hasn't got the energy to do the rest of it.

 

[Godbeblade]

Im not sure if its a case of play arblaster further forward or more of a case where we have to have get more attacking output from the likes of peck and arblaster (and anyone else for that matter but I feel they're the most likely)

...But im still waiting for a big-money number 10 signing!
(Haha, thats a joke by the way- loan signing at best!)

 

[S64 Blade]

Commenth the man, commeth the Jamie Shackleton.

It would be interesting to get Zach Giggs involved a bit more, I know he is usually more defensive but the goals that he set-up for vs West Ham U21's were brilliant passes into where they needed to be. Plus he played in the 10 shirt in that match. It's difficult to see the gap between the U21's and 1st team but Giggs had good ball control, looked to get forward with confidence and played in some brilliant passes and overall looked like he had spatial awareness

 

[Gannon and Egg]

On hearing COH might be off I was thinking a solid back 4 with hamza in there, and a more traditional left mid/winger and two up front

 

[HIBGIA]

Could try Riedlegsgone in the 10 or Rothsloth
