Maybe you should read that despite my questioning I am keeping an open mind and not complaining.. I don't know what constitutes complaining in your world, but I was not complaining or undermining a thing. I know what is in my signature and I was not contradicting it in the slightest..

Hopefully it's more of a 4-3-3, if formations even matter... Can't get the new signings in soon enough. Can't see it being a 4-3-3 there are only two midfielders in the 18. We've got a problem in midfield - I'd like to see four central midfielders in our match day squad - if we rule out veretout, then four is how many we own - we could possibly add Lyden to that, but for me it's still the area we have most need in - and that's without going in to the relative qualities of the players that we've got, that's just on numbers. We'll struggle in midfield today - hopefully our front four can stop Derby taking advantage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's worse than the two idiots named to play Edited August 20, 2016 by Pilchard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 bit OTT re the team. Lacking bite, i know but there is enough in there to compete well today and go for a win. Does highlight lack of squad depth, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyVillans Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Surely it would be better to have lyden on the bench instead of richards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's lots of available talent, it's just all up front or on the wings - the make up of the reserve squad matches the first team squad. I'm never happy with a line up where a single injury would mean a complete change of shape and tactics - if Gardner or Westwood were to go off injured today, I'm not quite sure what we could do. 5-1-4? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 We have to go long ball with this midfield and bypass it entirely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I'd be fairly confident of our defence shutting them out but i think derby will have most the ball. If we click at the other end like we've be threatening to do we could wreck them. McCormack should be looking to take on Keogh at every opportunity. He's very vulnerable.

Rodders Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 we can't have tishbola and jedinak in every game of the season, we are going to need our squad, and it's another chance for Gardner to stake his claim. I expect a better performance from him today myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I meant midfield. Even with tish and Jedi we are short, but well over numbered defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayew & McCormack on either side of Gestede up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
