Let's give this a try

[Barney]

Fuck it. We're relegated.

Press high up the pitch.

Pace galore.

Give a couple youngsters a try in place of Jagielka and Lundstram.

3-4-3.

Ramsdale
Basham - Gordon - Osborn
Bogle..-.. Ampadu ...-... Brunt ..-.. Burke
Mousset - McBurnie - Brewster

​

 

[FMBlade1]

But what if it works?

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Is Bogle back?

 

[Billyblade]

1. Who is Gordon Osborn?
2. 2 at the back? Are you mad?

 

[dc_blade]

Osborn bringing some much-needed height to the back three.

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

Fuck me, I wouldnt be confident of that team beating Mittwoch, let alone a PL side...

I'm all for sacking off Ampadu and others who won't be around next season (Lundtram, Stevens) but we still do need to try to win games...

 

[Chabuddy G]

I like the idea of including Gordon and Brunt, but this is horrific Barn

 

[Nine Inch Nalis]

People will say it's daft formation, but I think having Mousset, McBurnie and Brewster in goal just might work.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Errrr Basham's injured and Mousset is a fat mess.

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

I'm also wondering how bad they must be and/or how shite Regan Slater must be if they aren't better than what we've seen this season...

I like it. Just as in cricket when the joke about reversing the batting order, we could do the football equivalent!

Well, Regan Slater is shite. He can't get in Hull's side.
I don't know what harm it could do Gordon or Brunt to give them a go. If they're not good enough to get a game now they never will be.

 

[robbiez666]

I take it we're fielding no right hand side?

 

[robbiez666]

Although, wait, on. Can I see what the odds are on us losing by more than 10 goals before I dismiss this out of hand?

 

[Booker4]

Not the time for playing someone with no high level experience at centre half in Gordon, or Brunt.

Time to play McBurnie or Burke up with Brewster I'd say, lets plan for next season in that way, and maybe nearer the end play the odd younger player in cameos.

That's my point on the other thread, that after 5 years we don't have any youngsters worthy of a punt.

I'm assuming Tufty still wants to win, so if don't have any youth midfielders who would be worth giving a go ahead of Lundstram/Norwood/Fleck - then jees we're in more trouble than we think!!

Is there not a 17/18 year old who can come on and run about like a maniac for 20 mins and show the others what energy looks like?

He doesn't trust youth, it's as simple as that. He only gave Brooks a chance because he didn't have a choice.

What if they turn out to be good? Then we’ll have clubs like Everton trying to poach them. Wouldn’t it make more sense to wait a few months and then try them next season, in a less difficult league, in hopefully a team that can win games? That’s if they’re anywhere near league standard. If they’re not up to championship level, loan them out?

I think that's a bit of a backwards reason to not give promising young players a go, mate...

 

[Davalon]

I'd stick Forte in

 

[benn5712]

Let's all turn up like this.
Just to be sarcastic, like.

 

[guancheblade]

Is Bogle back?

And Basham??

 

[BushBlade]

I think that’s a bit of a cuntish response to a reasonable point.

Is Enda leaving?

 

[west_yorks_blade]

There’s goals in that attack.

Sorry typo

There’s goal in that attack

 

[Nine Inch Nalis]

On a serious note though, let's not play McBurnie at all, ever. It's like being down to 10 men.

Don't know if you watched Villa's young team vs Liverpool in the FA cup, but they really played well. Tired late on against players from the highest level, but looked handy.
This is something we've been lacking for a while. All players start from somewhere and we often used to bring a couple through, then sold them. Harry DCL and Rammers
the latest.

 

[BlairBlade]

But what if it works?

That would be scary.

as we have been doing all season. I think?
