PieFacE Posted October 21, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted October 21, 2017 So puts the extra man in midfield when we're playing at home, but sticks with 2 up front when playing top of the league away? Bruce really is a reactionary manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 That team makes a lot of sense. Hope we can see COH in the second half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I suspect that is intended as a defensive line up. Onomah does not impress me. No Davis, no OHare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 its more like 4-1-4-1 (should be) but it‘ll look more like a 6-3—————-1 once Fulham get their passing game going My prediction 1-0 Kodjia magic after 20mins 1-1 just before HT after 20/80 possesion during the last 15mins 1-2 before 60mins 30/70 possesion even though we could all see it coming that we needed to sub Hutton & Whelan Bruce waits till after 70th min for Davis for Onomah and Hogan for Snod 1-3 last 5mins Toxic VP VT goes into meltdown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastie Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Looks more 4231 formation to me but I think this is the right team for Fulham - they are a top passing team and we need ro compete in midfield . hooefully Albert ; hourihane and snodgrass will support kodjia in getting forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I thought if anything, Onomah might have replaced Whelan. Oh well, let's see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted October 21, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted October 21, 2017 Can't believe he's going with one up front and it's not Hogan. Weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I know he's a bit hit and miss but Hogan cost us £14m and really needs to be given the chance to find some form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Hogan is too much of a risk to be starting. Make him prove himself from the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srsmithusa Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 The wolves match made something pretty clear: When the opposition midfield is capable of passing the ball around nicely, Whelan and Hourihane cannot cope alone. So, apparently, Bruce sees that and adds Onomah into the midfield. I hope it works, I really do. But it seems like the manager could have seen that pretty early in the match against Wolves and made a similar adjustment there. (Rank amateurs that post here could see it.) In this case, his "react 70-minutes-to-70-days-too-late style" may work today, because Wolves and Fulham play a similar kind of passing game. Which brings up a related question.... What style of play is it that we do again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have adjusted the formation accordingly to Wolves in the first place, which was an away game, against a technically good team. lol With all this "learning" every other game it's starting to seem like he is an apprentice. Anyway, let's all just see how it goes, could be a masterstroke....or...ya know. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the support he got from Hourihane and Onomah, he might do well. But deciding to play him just because he cost a lot is daft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
