What is our best midfield?

[Cheesebored]

And that's the best you can do?

Even the paperboys beat you to that. You're slacking.

Stick to facts and shit. Mostly 'shit'.

I'd be happy with this as our preferred lineup for remainder of season:

Love to converse but just got off train in Huddersfield. It's a great day out usually, you should try it sometime.

Were geography kinder I would. But the logistics of travel and finance are obviously something your small mind can't quite grasp, aren't they.

So I'll watch it on the telly, in the warm, like thousands of others, many in Sheffield too.

Have a great day Cheeseboard.

I love the idea that the first thing you do after stepping of the train platform is to whip out S24SU and argue with strangers on the internet because they have a different opinion to yours

 

[Rusty view]

Duffy, Fleck and Norwood with his fucking ping.

It's Cheeseboard. He simply has to do it. Somewhere in his psyche, it compels him, rather than heading for the nearest pub with his frien ...

Hang on. I get it now.

Rent free. Ignore button is available to all.

I love watching the S24SU bickerati go at it

Which is why you're here, isn't it?

Rent free my arse. I'm a fucking virus living in your bloodstream Cheeseboard. You just can't stop yourself coming on here and making a bellend of yourself.

Now go sit in the pub and try to make some friends. Show them your Panini Card collection and your enamel badges and see if there's a similar Jiminy sat alone in the corner sipping a half of mild and making notes on the programme.

And if you do go for a piss, try not to look at men's tails.

[Panini]

But can N'Diaye and MGW effectively play together or are they too similar? Its' worked against poor teams like Peterborough and the first half against Fulham, but Heckingbottom seems reluctant to play both in his early matches as boss.

Which games could PH have started both but didn't?

 

[Cheesebored]

Rent free my arse. I'm a fucking virus living in your bloodstream Cheeseboard.

But it's not getting to you.

And if you do go for a piss, try not to look at men's tails.

Ok sailor. I'm not going to attempt it in here, bit raucous and packed with blades. If only I knew any of them.

Not sure what the 'sailor' inference is here, although given your mindset, I can guess.

Good luck with making friends and above all else, enjoy your day out from the farm

Please, please don't play Berge and Fleck as two sitting midfielders again. Neither plays that role, it doesn't work.

Berge isn't defensively aware enough, and Fleck is then stifled from driving forward, which coupled with lack of movement in front of him, truly limits his contribution.

They are both good at their preferred roles, but they are very much the +1 to either Norwood or Hourihane showing for the ball and dictating the play.

Or just don't play Fleck ever again full stop. He used to be one of my favourite players. Now I can't help but resent him for how poor he has become. Same with Enda Stevens.

Always Norwood and two from the others tactically Hecky got this completely wrong and allowed it to stay wrong for too long - making those two substitutions white and Mcburnie 15 minutes earlier and we would have most likely had three points

In fairness, the feller did break his back, then had a seizure, let's not be too harsh

Agreed, that midfield is playing without a midfield.

It's beginning to become difficult to know what role Berge does play. Nothing seems to work with him.

 

[Bladesman]

Our best midfield is:

Norwood - Hourihane
MGW

 

[Champagneblade]

Not been that impressed with Fleck recently and Hourihane obviously has some limitations.

I wonder if Gibbs-White could play on the left of three to enable a place for N'Diaye instead of Fleck or Hourihane. I just think we need more potential goals.

Something like this with Norwood as a deeper one of three and those two driving forwards with N'Diaye providing some good dribbling skills in the final third tl add tl the challenge faced by immobile Championship centre backs.

Foderingham
Baldock Davies Egan Robinson Osborn
Berge Norwood Gibbs-White
N'Diaye
Sharp

 

[CarlMcBlade]

It’s make sad to think we probably won’t see MGW and N’Diaye in the same starting eleven anymore...Think Hecky see em as an either or.

 

[Darthblade]

Best midfield is MGW plus the tea lady & the kit lady at the moment
