Number 6 Posted 10 March 2013 Share Posted 10 March 2013 I do think a 4-2-3-1 would benefit the likes of Knocky, Marshall and Nugent who are all capable of hurting teams on from 20-25 yards out. Not expecting it to happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry - LCFC Posted 10 March 2013 Share Posted 10 March 2013 Just keep the ball on the deck and try not hoofing it at all, that might work perhaps? Fully agree. We win when we pass, we lose when we hoof. That's my way of massively simplifying how the way we play affects the result. Playing football should be easier against Cardiff as they don't seem to press as much as Leeds or Wednesday. I recall us playing some decent stuff when Cardiff visited us.

theessexfox Posted 10 March 2013 Share Posted 10 March 2013 Ideal: (injuries taken into account) Kasper Keane Morgan SSL Marshall Wellens King Schlupp Knockaert Nugent Kane More realistic but still fairly pleasing: Kasper SSL Keane Morgan Schlupp Marshall King Wellens Dyer Nugent Kane Probable: Kasper SSL Keane Morgan Schlupp Marshall Drinkwater King Knockaert Wood Kane We CANNOT play Wood and Kane together - far too similar.

Bert Posted 10 March 2013 Share Posted 10 March 2013 Why is 3-5-2 suddenly so popular? I'm not saying you're wrong but it is a bit odd. Are we thinking Palace away last season? It'll be a bit tighter at the back, with the centre backs all being able to play naturally, King and Drinkwater can play their usual deep lying roles, giving Knocky a free role, as well as playing two out and out centre forwards. Marshall and Schlupp both have the ability to play as wing backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big cairnzy Posted 10 March 2013 Share Posted 10 March 2013 4-4-2 3-5-2 who gives a toss! Players win matches not formations. Anyway 3-5-2 for me!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerrrFox Posted 11 March 2013 Share Posted 11 March 2013 Pearson has shown before that he will play 3-5-2. I think with his two starting wb's out he will adapt to that formation again. Kasper SSL Morgan Keane Marshall Schlupp King Drinkwater Kane Wood Nugent I'd like to see Kane play through the middle again, he played very well centrally against Blackburn (who were shit) but still he looked good.

Alf Bentley Posted 11 March 2013 Share Posted 11 March 2013 I'd go for Kasper SSL Morgan Keane Marshall Schlupp (wing backs) King Drinkwater Knocky Nuge Kane Wood is still carrying a knock, more hindrance than anything at the minute. As usual, I find myself not far from Bert's way of thinking... However, I wonder if we could play a 3-5-1-1; same personnel as Bert is proposing, except Wellens in central midfield with King & Drinkwater (yes, Wellens could be OK in a 3-man centre-midfield, not a 2-man centre-midfield), Knocky roaming free between midfield and attack, and Nugent alone up front. I'm afraid both Wood and Kane looked like rabbits in the headlights against Sheff. Wed (I worry more about Wood than Kane; at least Kane has the excuse of being out of position...after such a bright start, Wood was avoiding all serious commitment - is his confidence completely shot for some reason?!?). Unless there's some quick, miracle solution, I'd like to see both of them dropped at Cardiff. On the other hand....Nugent looked better than he had for several games, really committed, winning flicks, getting in the right positions, looking confident. Yes, he didn't have a great game, mainly because he didn't get the service, but he looked like he was on his way back. Similarly, at times Knocky was a greedy git when he came off the bench - but (unlike Wood & Kane) he looked like he still believed in himself and looked capable of creating something. The right word in his ear from NP ("I like your attitude, Anthony, I believe that you're about to offer a lot to our team...just pass a bit more!") and he could have a big game in Cardiff... Also, that apparently defensive 3-5-1-1 formation (and we need to defend a bit - we're in shocking form!) allows more room for forward runs from one of our few players who IS on good form just now....Andy King (he was deceptively good v. Sheff Wed - and, No, I'm not Thracian under a phony name!). Cardiff City 0 Leicester City 1 (King) We're going to miss De Laet, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentFox Posted 11 March 2013 Share Posted 11 March 2013 The injuries are unclear. It's a game we are outsiders to win, unusually. If his job is on the line, (according to some), why not try something different as the 'usual' has been abysmal recently. If his job is safe (according to some), why not try something different, as the usual has been abysmal recently ! You see where I'm coming from ???? As stated, no idea on fitness levels but:- Sir Michael Wes Zak Keane Marshall King James Drinky Dyer Nugent Wood Alternatively, Sir Michael SSL Wes Keane Schlupp King Drinky Marshall Knocky Dyer Wood That looked so much better neatly spaced out on my screen - not sure why it's all gone to pants ... sums the season up !!

King has been much better than Drinkwater in recent games. At least he can pass the ball forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaspa Posted 11 March 2013 Share Posted 11 March 2013 I have no real idea who if De Laet is still out, Im sure I heard Nigel say on radio that there is a chance of him being alright, I also havent much idea whats happened to Matty James, we could really use him in this match. Kasper - De Lad / SSL - Keane - Morgan - Konch / Schlupp - Marshall - Drinky - James / King - Knocky - ---------- Nuge Wood----------- To people saying a 2-5-3 or a 3-5-2 or a 9-1-0, we havent really seen these formations in a pressure situation we should stick to what we know and what were good at instead of changing the entire dynamic of the team instantly, it would also be a huge risk, if we win we'd have about 50% of fans saying how it was a tactical masterstroke, if we lose (to the proven best team in the League) we'l have more people come out calling for the managers head.
