Team for Cardiff

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

If Wilder's going to get some momentum and fan enthusiasm back before the play-offs his team section needs to be pretty much perfect.
I'd be going:

---------------Cooper
Seriki Ahemedhozic Holding Burrows
------------Souza --Peck
Rak-Sakyi----O'Hare---Hamer
------------Campbell

Brereton-Diaz, Moore and Brooks as primary attacking subs when legs tire.

 

[DifferentClass]

Do we have to?

 

[BigBed]

Cooper
Anel, Holding, Robinson
Gilchrist, Peck, Souza, Mcallum
OHare, Hamer, Campbell.

 

[brownblade]

Pretend we've got a sickness bug and take the -3 points. Please.

 

[MayorOJC]

Cooper
Gilchrist - Anel - Holding - McCallum
Peck - Hamer
JRS - Cannon - Brooks
Campbell

I don't think that's a position that suits Cannon, but honestly I just want to see how he does on the ball. Can't judge anything he does when he's getting 6 touches a game.

 

[itsinyerblood]

Give me strength, Hamer has to be played centrally with a licence to roam if he sees fit

 

[robbiez666]

----------------Cooper
Clarke------Anel-----Holding-----McCallum
-----------Choudhury------Peck
-----------------O'Hare
------JRS-----Moore-----BBD

Subs:

Davies, Seriki, Baptiste, Davies, Blacker, Brooks, Brewster, Canon, One

Rest Seriki and Burrows. Drop Robbo. Drop Hamer because he needs to stop coasting and take it seriously. Rest Campbell

Hopefully the rested/dropped players might be more up for Burnley.

Encourage the fullbacks to get forward at every opportunity with Peck and Choudhury covering. O'Hare pulling the strings.

If Moore's not fit enough to start, start One. BBD and JRS keep swapping round.

[loyalblade95]

----------------Cooper
Seriki-Holding?-Anel-Burrows
---------Souza-------Peck
JRS-----------------------------Hamer
-------Moore-----Campbell

Put a ? against Holding as if CW doesn't play him, Gilchrist at CB might be another option, and drop Harry Clarke (who didn't really take his chance against Plymouth) from the squad.

Cardiff play 3 at the back so would be tempted to play 2 up top Vs 3 CB's instead of 1 up top Vs 3 CB's, and Moore (who must surely be chomping at the bit to get back in) won us the game at their place.

Was considering keeping Cannon in to see how he does in a 2 with Moore, but switched him with Campbell to try and get him back in form for the remaining games.

 

[Not so Slim ane]

Needs to be cannon first name on the team sheet ...the rest don't matter

 

[Houston_Blade]

As long as we’ve got at least 1 defensive midfielder we’ll be fine, don’t want to be too aggressive and try to win a game, maybe stick Souza and Hamza in just to be safe.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

He really needs to give this obsession of returning up. He’s so far past it

 

[Champagneblade]

Doing a Harrison Ford. He’s going to revisit all his old roles!

 

[Swinton Blade]

Cooper
Seriki Anel Holding Burrows
Rak-Saki Souza Peck O'Hare
Moore Campbell

 

[Champagneblade]

Cooper
Seriki Anel Holding Burrows
Peck Hamer
Rak-Sakyi O'Hare Brereton-Diaz
Campbell

Subs - probably like to see Brooks for one of the wingers with O’Hare going wide for the other and Cannon and Moore coming on as a duo.

Possibly Choudhury introduction's for Hamer if job is done and Gus hasn’t been booked.

 

[Pintor75]

2 up top is a must
Cooper
Seriki, Anel, Holding, Burrows
Rak-Sakyi, Hamer, Peck, OHare
Diaz, Campbell
Cardiff are crap 2 away wins all season, but then again so were Oxford & Plymouth

Gilchrist for Sereki for me and Souza for OHare with Hamer switching to the left.

But yes, would love to see two up front tomorrow

bloody hell we’ve a game tomorrow AND Friday??!? No wonder wilders resting players

We might have a better chance if winning if it was tomorrow.
Apologies

 

[RAP51]

I think we have the players to successfully switch to the 3-5-2 (5-3-2) of our 2019/20 season. Hamer would fit the Duffy role, Souza(Norwood) Peck(Fleck) etc. We have 2 attacking wing backs and a few combinations for the front 2. Anel has shown he can be effective as an overlapping cb.
Although I would leave Robinson out, he is more comfortable on the left side of a 3.
My choice would be
 Cooper
Seriki Gilchrist Holding Anel Burrows
Hamer Souza Peck
Campbell then BBD or JRS or O'Hare
I know it's not ideal changing systems but we have become predictable and this would give other teams something else to think about.

I like it, except
Gilchrist for Seriki (objective 1, dont concede!)

Souza for Peck (if fit) and Peck can bring his energy in the 2nd half.

Also could play Campbell instead of Rak-Sakyi to add some genuine pace down the channel and play Moore up top

Cooper
Gilchrist Anel Holding Burrows
Souza Hamer
Campbell O'Hare Brereton-Diaz
Moore

.....................Cooper
.........Anel....Holding....JLT
Seriki............Souza..........Burrows
...............Peck.......Hamer
.......................BBD
....................Campbell

I'd like to see how this would work.

It breaks up the Anel & Robinson pairing that doesn't work.

It pushes Seriki and Burrows into advanced areas that they should be more comfortable in.

It hopefully gets Hamer on the ball a lot more, driving us forwards from deeper areas.

And it gets BBD playing off Campbell high up the pitch.
Hopefully he can drop into wide pockets when receiving the ball, and attack the box when our wing-backs have it.
(would also like to see O'Hare in this role against teams that really sit in).

----

In general, I really want to see us abandon the rigid style we've seen which relies on holding our shape (at all times) and hoping for moments.

Let's throw caution to the wind and push up in numbers and find some combinations to break teams down.

Lets see both wing backs high up the pitch, holding the touchline, creating space inside (Bogle & Firpo do this magnificently for Leeds).

We have plenty of decent subs, let's attack and defend in numbers and empty the tank. Leave nothing in reserve.
We can overwhelm our opposition, let's try that for a change.

I'd like to see this or something different at least. I don't see what we have to lose really. If we try something different and it doesn't work, then go back to the small margin games and hope the big players turn up in the play-offs.

If it's 4-2-3-1 again, with Robinson & Anel at the back I'll despair.
