" HOW WILL HE FIT IN? "

Thu Jul 13, 2017 2:18 pm

Welcome to our New Bluebird Lee Tomlin from our rivals Bristol City: this is lad has real quality and experience about him and on his day Tomlin can be a real handful. :thumbright: :bluebird: :ayatollah:

Tomlin will improve our creativity and ball retention in the last third and having someone who is genuinely unpredictable and calm in and around the box will be a real plus.

How Kenneth, Danny, Junior, Harris and Tomlin will all fit, or where or what the first choice might be.

Lee Tomlin Striker/Midfield

Midfielder Loïc Damour

Honestly think he'll go 5 at the back.

GK: Camp
RB: Paterson
CB: Manga
CB: Bamba
CB: Morrison
LB: Bennett
CM: Gunnarsson
CM: Ralls
CAM: Tomlin
ST: Zohore
ST: Ward

But could rotate to have 4 at the back:

GK: Camp
RB: Paterson
CB: Manga
CB: Morrison
LB: Bennett
CDM: Bamba / Ralls
CDM: Gunnarsson
RM: Harris / Mendez-Laing
CAM: Tomlin
LM: Ward
ST: Zohore

I think he's going to go three at the back - he toyed with it with varying degrees of success last year,
Camp
Manga Morrison Bamba

Then he'll go with two wing backs -
I see Patterson as a potential and not necessarily a straight starter once fit
Richards and Bennett

Then the midfield will be some one who breaks the attack up and someone who recycles the ball and kick starts our play -
Gunnarson and Tomlin

Finally the Great Dane up front
Zohore

Bench:
Etheridge, Peltier, Connolly/Paterson, Ralls, Loic, Ward, Anon/Healy

The different combinations he could have are amazing really but I expect the above to be his first match day squad

How will he fit in his shirt?

Re: " HOW WILL HE FIT IN? "

Etheridge

Jazz

I can't see him starting the first game of the season with 9 players to be honest. What formation 5-2-1 or 3-4-1?

Ward

Mendez Lang
Hoilett
Harris
Zahore
Tomlin you

For me, I think Tomlin would be best suited to playing in the middle of the three in a 4231 formation.

I agree I think we'll see 541, 442 and 433 formations next season depending on who and where we're playing. Warnock likes to have options.

Certainly an attacking team with 2 strikers and attacking midfielder and 3 wingers to :lol:

Re: " HOW WILL HE FIT IN? "

Fri Jul 14, 2017 5:24 pm

I reckon we should play 5-4-4 and two more playing on each wing
With Amos and Camp in goal

Re: " HOW WILL HE FIT IN? "

Fri Jul 14, 2017 11:07 pm

i think he will be that free number 10
