Game Vs Crawley

[WABBA]

Seeing as though our home form is very poor, I'd like Wilson to set out something like this:

3-5-2 formation

Long​

Maguire Collins Higgo​

​

Westlake Doyle Mcfadzean​

​

​

Mcdonald Whitehouse/Robson​

​

​

​

​

Murphy Ironside​

​

What do you think?​

 

[Grecian2000]

Looking a bit lopsided to me (and at least one player too many, although if we can get away with it . . . . )

 

[TAMUS]

I like this you have found the solution sir , please accept your first like with pride .

What do you think?​

I think it is too narrow

for me

Long
Westlake Collins Maguire Hill
Flynn McDonald Doyle MacFadzean
Porter(If no Kitson) Murphy

If we recalled Creswell I would play him instead of Porter.

None of this passing the ball slowly across the back 4 rubbish.

Play it quick,direct,get crosses in and play for the knock downs in the final third

 

[Pedro Verde]

If the 3-5-2 formation was utilised I would probably play Flynn instead of Westlake as a wing back
If Hill was fit I would have him in instead of Higginbottom as the 3 at the back have no pace, I know Hills not fast but hes faster than the others.
With regard to the 442 formation above I would play Ironside rather than Porter and I certainly wouldnt have Cresswell anywhere near the starting XI

In other words - Hoof it!

Oh dear.

 

[Balham]

Balham's XI for Crawley:

Long​

​

Westlake Maguire Collins McFadzean​

​

Robson Doyle McDonald Flynn​

​

Murphy Ironside​

​

Subs: Coyne, Hill, Kennedy, Harriot, Whitehouse, Porter, Forte​

​

Emphasis on attack with Doyle dropping into defence if necessary a la Busquets at Barcelona. Westlake and McFadzean aiming to overlap Robson and Flynn with McDonald looking to dictate the play.​

​

Or, same line up in a 4-3-3 formation:​

Long

Westlake Maguire Collins McFadzean

Flynn McDonald Doyle

Murphy Ironside Robson
​

​

With Murphy and Robson alternating between dropping off Ironside into the space between Crawley's defence and midfield and looking for the gaps between the centre halves and full backs.​

Oh dear.

too right....playing this tippy tappy crap at home hasn't really worked as it has been too slow and ponderous.

Worked for the pigs last year

 

[Racy]

Any of them formations could work just one adjustment

Get fucking Doyle out!

 

[Kenilworth]

The formation of some bollocks on some of 'em would be useful
