Team. Who would you pick?

Tue Apr 11, 2023 11:27 am

It's clear that we're not offering enough out wide further up the pitch.

And I do think Sabri got it wrong Vs Sunderland. They kept coming at us. No outlet up the pitch. It seems he starts games to not lose. We need to take a bit of risk now and play to win from the off! Not just second half!

If we are to continue with Kaba and Wickham. Which is a good strike partnership I feel. Then we need plenty more crosses in to the box. Loads!!

As someone has said we lack wide attackers. The obvious two I would go with Philogene and O'Dowda.

Left back is still the problem position. Simpson or Ralls there for me.

My team...

I'm going with a 433. We were outplayed in midfield against the jacks and Sunderland with just 2 in there. Plus 2 big guys up front just doesn't work, we need some pace and quality. Also going with NG at LB. He played there many times last season and did a solid job.

Philogene has to be behind the front two, I think Wintle has looked stale in midfield and whilst a few weeks ago I’d have called for Rino to start, he hasn’t played very well in his opportunities recently. Ralls has picked up.

I like Mike’ 4-3-3 but I’d got 4-4-2 and drop Sawyers

Allsop
Romeo Kipre McGuiness. NG
Philogene Wintle Rinomhota. O'Dowda
Wickham Kaba

Subs- Alnwick, Ralls, I.Davis, Ojo, Etete, Colwill,

If Robbo wasn’t injured he be in instead of Wickham who would be warming the bench as well

i'd go Allsopp (although i think we need a better keeper come the summer)
Romeo, McGuinness, Kipre, Ng
Rinamohta Wintle
Davies, Philogene, O'Dowda
Kaba

a 4231, but, and heres the big thing, the two wide players HAVE to stay wide, everytime we play with wingers, they start going narrow, to the point where theres no one out wide

Exactly. The width up the pitch is what's needed.

Seem to remember Ng doing a job at LB last season too? Worth a try

I’d give Isaak Davies a start,

I'd play this side with Colwill in for Sawyers in when he's fit. Otherwise agree, think pinging as many balls into Kaba as possible is the winning strategy.

I'd give Antwi a chance. He's shown in the U21 a bit of class. Stands out alot. Gets stuck in and equally he can play it quickly and move it quicker. Bit of what we are missing at the moment.
