Teams vs Watford

[Pedro Verde]

Cooper, Godfrey, Tanganga, Mee, McCallum, Soumare, Peck, Davies, Hamer, Campbell, Ings.

4-4-2, diamond midfield, no more playing 3 at the back with only 2 competent centre halves and no wing backs

If you are talking about competent players do you really want to play Godfrey at RB

 

[Addison]

3-4-1-2 is the way forward. A formation that replicates our 100 points promotion winning team. It provides balance with left and right footers in midfield and places Hamer in the Duffy role. I do not expect this line up to be selected.

Cooper

Tanganga McGuinness Mee
Seriki Davies Soumare Burrows
Hamer
Ings/Ogbene Campbell

Ings for an hour Ogbene to come on.

 

[Houston_Blade]

McGuinness is a competent 'head it and kick it' player, the type you tend to need in the championship.
Due to the lack of height in the team he's someone we currently need to play

For a ‘head it and kick it’ player he misses a lot of headers and isn’t that good at kicking it.

 

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

I understand some people not wanting Ings and Campbell together as it means plan B consists of O'Hare, Cannon and Oné. However it would just actually be amazing to have a half decent plan A for once so lets give it a go.

Cooper
Seriki Tanganga Mee Burrows
Ogbene Hamer Davies Brooks
Ings Campbell

 

[ancientblade]

if ings is fit we have to start him in a front 2 with campbell and im sure campbell will be more interested if hes got a strike partner 3412 hamer in behind o'hare has to come out peck also imo and put davies and matsos as the midfield 2

 

[Carlton Blade]

Only one team in my opinion

Cooper

Burrows
Mee
Mcguinness
Tanganga
Seriki

Matos
Davies
Peck

Campbell
Ings

Many will be surprised to see no Hamer or Ohare but as much as I hate going back to a back 5, until we get our structure and identity back, I think this is the best we can go with tbh..

That team might not have a shot on goal

 

[Lowen]

(4-2-3-1)
Cooper
Seriki Tanganga Mee Riedewald
Davies Soumare
Ogbene Hamer Barry
Campbell

Need more physicality, athleticism and goals in the side. Not super convinced by Barry but I’d give him another go as he will at least attempt to shoot if he gets the angle. If Riedewald ain’t close to being fit I don’t see any point in signing him.

You won’t be seeing Riedewald in that position in any case. He has been brought in specifically as a 6.

He might get a game sooner than peeps think

 

[Nick Jansky]

He might get a game sooner than peeps think

He might, but not at LB.

-------------------Cooper
---Tanganga-McGuinness-Mee
Seriki---Davies---Peck---McCallum
---------O'Hare------------Hamer
-----------------Campbell

Same lineup/formation as Southampton (best performance IMO, especially 1st half) but with Seriki + McCallum instead of Ogbene + Burrows.

If we did go 2 up top, I'd swap O'Hare for Ogbene and play Campbell + Ogbene as a pair with Hamer behind.

New signing Reidewald (eligible to play apparently) to play 2nd half when Davies needs a rest, Ings for Campbell on 60-70 mins to refresh the forward line if needed.

 

[Lowen]

You won’t be seeing Riedewald in that position in any case. He has been brought in specifically as a 6.

You’re correct, we have issues in both areas of the team, maybe he can resolve the midfield issue but he’ll need to be and stay fit first. I think Soumare is a better option than Burrows/McCallum is right now and helps solve a clear height issue in the side, so I would try to include both if fit. The reality of what we will do is different though I agree.

 

[Blade58]

He might, but not at LB.

Agreed Nick

The issue will not be LB

 

[Lowen]

Agreed Nick

The issue will not be LB

Have you seen Burrows play this season?

 

[Houston_Blade]

That team might not have a shot on goal

Would be good to see how many times the midfield can pass it backwards or sideways though?!

 

[Blade58]

Have you seen Burrows play this season?

Yep been well under par, (as have others) but if I’ve got this right he’s not been signed until Jan because of LB

[The Crab]

One that fucking wins

Seems a simple ask doesn’t it.

I just want the players to care as much as we do

 

[The Crab]

Wilder is stubborn.. he knows we want to see 2 forwards so he will be even more determined to play 1

And that’s the problem. He’s more about proving people wrong than admitting he might be wrong himself.
