Keiffer Moore

[T-Blade]

Makes a massive difference to this team and is key to our play off success imo. Definitely 2 up front from now on whatever.

 

[ReeceofBDTBL]

Along with the Coventry match, Id say the most lethal we’ve looked all season was that second half away at Blackburn with Kieffer and Campbell up front together

 

[MayorOJC]

Would much rather see a 4-2-3-1 with Hamer behind Campbell. A better team with a stronger midfield three would pass straight through us in a 4-4-2. There's a reason it's a mostly dead formation in the modern game.

That’s my first instinct as well tbh, especially against the likes of Sunderland.

HOWEVER, tonight got me wondering, could we possible see a situation we have a sort of bucket or box shaped midfield that squeezes in as a unit when the opposition midfield are on the ball?

Tonight we had
————-Hamza. Souza————
Brewster.——————O’Hare

Which come the play offs could easily be

———- Peck. Souza————-
O’Hare.———————Hamer.

However, I still think the 4-2-3-1 with BBD on the right and COH in the 10 would enable us to control the game better and have much more fluidity to it.

Two players for whom I’m willing to take the rough with the smooth are Seriki and BBD.

BBDs non stop movement on that Wembley pitch (should we get there of course) would be a huge asset.

I agree to an extent and think 3-5-2 would work best with hamer behind Moore and Campbell also think it would make us more solid at back and allow Seriki not to get exposed defensively but don’t think we will go that way

Totally agree, just said similar on another thread.

Don’t feel we have any control of midfield with this formation & a better side will exploit that easily, front two were very isolated second half today against a poor Stoke side.

Does what he needs to do in a 2 up top, keep the CB's busy even if he doesn't create/score in the game, him keeping those defenders occupied which gives other players space to score.

Take the 2nd goal, Moore occupies their CB who stops him from getting to the ball across the box, and Brooks is completely unmarked to score.

Good ball over the top by O'Hare for Peck for that 2nd goal as well, perfectly weighted.

I remember Deano and Agana not giving a shit about occupying anyone, they just did there stuff without the nuanced modern day tactics.

Football is a simple game that has got really bent out of shape these days.

Good post BBD ….

Apart from, BBD never has a good game playing on the right.
Hes so much better on the left, but Wilder plays Hamer there, who is so much better in the middle.....
I'd play Brooks on the right, and BBD on the left.
I also think O'Hare should start every game, hes like a wasp, annoying and pulling defenders out of position, never stops eather.

weerz new signings ?

 

[Cheeky Blade]

Great to get another 90 minutes under his belt. After praising him last game I kept an eye on him this I’ve and his touch seemed a bit off, he should have scored the third at the end but a good game overall with some nice lay offs and link up play.

Seemed more involved and won most of his battles…stats people probably be soon to confirm at some point.

If we want the ball more in the final third then he is key, hold it up, pass it off and we're off!!!!!

I thought BBD played very well against the pigs tbh, his movement means his starting position isn’t quite as crucial tbh

If only we had Leeds pace on the break, we always seem so slow and laboured when breaking, dont you think?

 

[Champagneblade]

I’ve only ever seen BBD play really well up front.

I know this would cause revulsion to Chris but the four forward players I’d be rotating in the play offs would be Campbell, BBD, Moore and O’Hare.

I’d play Hamer all the time and I’d start Rak-Sakyi and use Brooks to rest him.

In key matches I can’t find a place for Brewster or Cannon.

BBD scored 6 in 14 in the PL playing up front. What more indication do you need to play him there?

 

[Yewsman]

Afraid I am not a Moore fan. I think his first touch is often poor, resulting in us losing possession, he doesn't shield tha ball well and is not particularly fast or athletic. Not sure of his stats but dont think his goals scored or assists are great. Just my opinion.

Would like to see our win ratio with him starting? Stattos?

Beginning of the season he basically played 95 minutes every game till his injury and we were winning games.

Nick Montgomery was a footballer who's first touch was always atrocious, he also couldn't pass a football nor trap it. But was lauded by several managers here.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

I would rather us start with Moore and some pace around him. To get them all in in a 4-2-3-1 you'd have to do this....

Cooper
Seriki Anel Holding Burrows
Peck Souza
Campbell Hamer Brereton
Moore

Or you could go to a back 3 and fit them in much more naturally, but have to pick between Campbell and Brereton

Cooper
Anel Holding Robinson
Seriki Peck Souza Burrows
Hamer
Campbell Moore

I prefer the latter but Wilder's ego won't allow a return to that formation. He gets more manager points if he proves he can get promoted in a different formation

 

[Badger Blade]

He couldn't trap a bag of cement when he came on against Cardiff but then set up the second goal.

Similar to when Souttar was at the back, having a large, dominant presence at one end of the pitch or the other seems to put the frighteners up people.

He's not really PL standard but can still do a job and offers a different option. When he's good, he's really good, just needs to come out a bit more.

 

[MayorOJC]

Fine as a plan C if you need a battering ram for the last 10 minutes (like how Man U use Maguire) but shouldn't be a plan A for a team with our resources

To be fair though, his “assist” was just a terrible week shot deflected into BBD’s path!

 

[Sharrow Snuff Mill]

Moore gives us a target man for aerial flick-ons to a player with pace in a front two, but the ball bounces off him on ground passes.
Ipswich played him successfully as a substitute in the latter part of last season, so could be the best option.

O'hare gives great energy to the team, and plays well with Hamer. I'd start him. Choudhury for me would be the right back choice with Seriki, Brooks or Rak-saki in front of him. Campbell a guaranteed starter.
