villabromsgrove Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I'd like to see Hourihane and O'Hare as the centre two instead of Hourihane and Whelan. We'd be far more of a handful and a real danger around the edge of the box. O'Hare can't be far away from getting a start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) Must win for us. We need to go for the jugular right away and press them. Anything less than a win and it's time to sharpen the ass kicking end of Tony's shoe in preparation for blunt contact with Bruce's arse.

LakotaDakota Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Ok so after todays results so far a win would put us 9th and 2 points off 5th place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Can't fault that line-up. Hopefully they'll have the freedom to play attacking football and press high. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junxs Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I'm not convinced Glen Whelan is the right man for a 2 man midfield, Jake Doyle Hayes would be better, but don't think Bruce trusts him yet. If things don't go to plan Bruce will ditch this formation for the 4-5-1 again. So I desperately hope it works again today as can't watch that negative tripe under the 11.5 months under Bruce so far.

We'd be far too open with just Hourihane and O'Hare in midfield as the latter is more of a number 10. I do agree that Whelan doesn't warrant a starting berth though, and would much prefer Onomah.

I agree that he get's further forward than Whelan or Jedinak would, but we would have a much better chance of out scoring the opposition, and that should be our priority.

I agree we need to be more offensive, but a midfield duo of CH and COH is far too much of a Di Matteo wet dream for me. I don't even think there's any real problem with our current personnel. It's the way they're set up that has us playing so awfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villabromsgrove Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I've just watched the players coming out onto the pitch and there is no way that Forest should beat us! It has to be three points! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
