VillaChris Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Looks like James Brittle is going to be the new Bennett....out of weeks with knocks. Hutton must be the luckiest player alive...in exile here for years then gets a new 3 year deal and every RB we sign to replace him gets injured within a week of joining.

Czechlad Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Bring out the 5-3-2 again! I'd love to see Bree and Amavi as wing backs. With Hogan injured, we can always try the 3-4-3 that Chelsea play. I think that suits our available players at the moment anyway. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be another new formation for Bruce to chalk off his long list anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 A 3-4-3 under Bruce would be more like a 7-2-1 (with the 2 closer to the 7 than the 1!) great news that bree could be fit, however presently Hutton at rb is least of our problems. I would personally rather see Bree as part of a back 4 than a back 5 too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Hutton is a trier, no doubt about that, but anything going up his side is just wasted as the guy is just not capable of delivering a decent ball and there never seems to be an end product on the right.. Better to instruct him to defend and not go forward as it just brings pressure on the defence when the ball is lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I like it but it takes discipline. Even our subs would slot in well. Jedinak for a CM, Bacuna for Bree, and then someone like Green for Grealish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 3-5-2 is an awful idea with Elphick and Chester starting. not a bit of pace, brains or technique in the back 3 to make it work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) Since the game wasn't on the telly and there was no match thread I'll ask here. What formation were we playing when Bree came on for Adomah? Edit: Adomah, not Kodija Edited March 1, 2017 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see him back and get a run out, but as expected in that position he was pretty anonymous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poitier Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Got taken to the cleaners today, obviously it wasn't all down to him, but he failed to impose himself at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Both were poor, but I would like to see Bree in a back 4, rather than 5, a but more. He definitely has more about him going forward than Hutton does, which is probably why he tends to get the nod when SB moves to a back 5. Would loaning him out next season be something we'll consider? Hutton has done a good job of late, RDL has experience at this level. Might be worth giving him another year at Barnsley or something. Though I've no idea if Bruce even rates RDL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think he's suited to 5 at the back. Then again, none of our players look comfortable with that formation either! i think he'll come good.

AndyM3000 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) Carrying on from the above formation, I don't like playing all three of our CBs as I think they all about as useless on the ball as each other. Jedi has played CB and while I don't like him there he could be decent in the below formation. When we have the ball let the wingers push on and tell Jedi to sit. We could really do with some pace at CB though. We need to start looking at possession football and controlling the game.
