Lineker's Left Foot Posted 18 December 2005 Share Posted 18 December 2005 Just reading on another thread (Williams), I've just thought that if you had Hughes, Gudjonsson and Williams as a 3-man midfield, isn't that as good as any in the Championship. Possibly better than Sidwell, Hughes and Ingimarsson at Reading????? C'mon Levein, you really do have some good midfielders at your disposal !!

Up the City Id rather have Joey plus one of them pair and two wingers in Smith on left and hopefully this Griffiths guy will come good for the right wing...

MONreborn Posted 18 December 2005 Share Posted 18 December 2005 Wheres the Width? 3-5-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gené and Tonic Posted 18 December 2005 Share Posted 18 December 2005 When every one is fit, I'd prefer this 3-5-2 ----------------------Henderson--------------------- ----------Gerrbrand-McCarthy-Johansson-------- Maybury------------------------------------Sheehan -------Gudjonsson-Wesolowski-Hughes--------- ------------------Hume--Hammond---------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoShaunUK Posted 18 December 2005 Share Posted 18 December 2005 I guess 3-5-2 would suit us as midfield is arguably our strongest area but do you think our defence would be good enough with just the 3 at the back??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gené and Tonic Posted 18 December 2005 Share Posted 18 December 2005 Absolutely, on paper that defensive 3 is better than most others in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted 18 December 2005 Share Posted 18 December 2005 but where does smith fit in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoShaunUK Posted 18 December 2005 Share Posted 18 December 2005 but where does smith fit in on the left wing.. he may be able to play on the right but in my opinion a man with no right foot should not play on the right wing.. although I guess it dont really matter, I notice Sylla and Smith switch wings atleast twice a half....

Jonbluefox9 Posted 18 December 2005 Share Posted 18 December 2005 Absolutely, on paper that defensive 3 is better than most others in the championship. Shame football's played on grass though. On paper, we have a very good squad of players. Unfortuantely they have made too many silly mistakes which has meant we're not as high up the table as we would've liked. Let's be honest, if we played that formation with three at the back, we would get bombarded with balls from both flanks because Sheehan and Maybury would push forward and leave us exposed at left and right full back. We all saw at Stoke how poor we were at dealing with crosses into the box. I think we need two full backs playing. We haven't got the kind of players to play 3-5-2 effectively. A player like Jordan Stewart may have been able to play the left wing back role in a 3-5-2 because whatever people say about him, on his day he could put some decent balls into the box, he had bags of energy and pace and his tackles after tracking back improved last season. His attitude was his only stumbling block for me though. I don't think we have the kind of players to play with wing backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Arrow Posted 18 December 2005 Share Posted 18 December 2005 Without signing anyone in january, what about this, or was tyhis what he played when he plyed 4-5-1? -----------------Henderson---------------- Stearman McCarthy Gerrbrand Maybury Hammond Williams Joey Hughes Smith -------------------Hume------------------- Or maybe You coould put Wesolowski in midfield when fit. I know hume on his own up front isnt ideal but, you would have support from hammond and smith, almost like a 4-3-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted 18 December 2005 Share Posted 18 December 2005 on the left wing.. he may be able to play on the right but in my opinion a man with no right foot should not play on the right wing.. although I guess it dont really matter, I notice Sylla and Smith switch wings atleast twice a half.... i was refering to the 3-5-2 formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoShaunUK Posted 18 December 2005 Share Posted 18 December 2005 i was refering to the 3-5-2 formation I know, I mean to say that I wouldn't play two wing backs like that, I'd have smith on the left wing and hopefully this griffiths guy turns out alright and we can use him on the right wing.. i.e. GRIFFITHS GUDJOHNSSON HUGHES WILLIAMS SMITH as has been pointed out could have wesolowski in the middle there and have hughes where I have put williams. I think Williams is a decent player myself, just needs to show some more work ethic.. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
