Middlesboro - Pre Match Prattle

Recommended Posts

Posted

Brilliant news. I think he'll help bring the best out of Beckford, as will Johnson. Things are starting to look a lot better! Still would like us to play with some more width, but unless Sven dips in to the loan market we've not got the players.

problem is if we get in 1/2 wingers would need to switch to 442 which would leave only 2 midifeld positions with at least 6 midfileders... abe/wellens/johnson/king/fernandes/oakley so cant see him even considering it at all... not sure if theres 2 out of those 6 that i think wouyld be strong enough in just a 2 either...

Or more likely we'd go back to 4-3-3. Would work a lot better with proper width.

Another tough (away) game, with Middlesbrough being unbeaten this season. Like Cardiff away, I'd certaily take a point away from the Riverside.

Regarding the team, I would play 4-4-2 Dyer playing on the right, and Vassell on the left. Although Beckford looks like he needs a partner (Nugent), I would play King behind and bring him off for Schlupp/Howard if its not working or if King looks tired (like usual). I've totally dropped Fernandes as I'd like to see how good Wellens and Johnson look in central midfield, not sure how fit Johnson is like but Abe would be on the bench just incase.

I'd generally like us going forward better, and with Dyer and Vassell we would have the pace on either side.

Not sure if Nugent is close, anybody?

What no reserve goalie on the bench? thats a bit dangerous

I'd never select a goalkeeper on the bench, like Neil Warnock.

Middlesbrough have been better than us in every department this season and are better than we are. If they play to their best they will win the game, simple as that

I think in a bench of 5 players not having a keeper perhaps has some merit to gain another option outfield. But an injured/sent off keeper would be writing off the games where these incidents occured.

My gripe is with the 5 subs rule.

Posted

What if the keeper gets injured/ sent off?

Reason Warnock did that was because he always said he had Jagielka on the bench who could make a league 2 keeper, he always has a player who does extra keeper training in case that situation comes up. I think Hall is his "sub keeper" at QPR

this... why on earth we all agreed on it is crazy.. how many teams did it actualy effect? probally only a couple..

Posted

I'd try a little change in midfield

Schmeichel

Peltier

Mills

Bamba

Konchesky

Abe

Danns

Fernandes

King

Vassell

Beckford

It's to soon for Johnson and Nugent me thinks, so that would be my team with Abe playing more the DM role and Fernandes and Danns injecting hopefully some life in the midfield with King the more advanced midfielder

Posted

I'd go with:

Schmeichel

Peltier

Mills

Bamba

Konchesky

Fernandes

King

Johnson

Danns

Beckford

Vassell

subs: Weale, St. Ledger, Wellens, Nugent, Dyer

Wednesday's game is probably not the time to trial it but I'm sure Danns playing just behind / feeding Beckford could work. I really think Danns is quality, we just need to use him effectively!
