OutByEaster? Posted December 16, 2017 Moderator Share Posted December 16, 2017 It's going to be very difficult to get things going up front without a focus. We've got eight players in that eleven who would probably describe themselves as midfielders - ordinarily that would mean lots of possession as we probe and move Derby around looking for gaps and opportunities, however, we can't pass the ball. It's madness or genius. Or both. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted December 16, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) Yes Jack in the team! Boo well, we've got no one to hold the ball up which would help Jacks game. But, I like the team I think. No doubt our approach to the game will be completely ill-fitting of the team.

Johnnyp Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Bruce really needs to be taken to task if not playing with a recognised striker goes tits up. And it will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted December 16, 2017 Moderator Share Posted December 16, 2017 --------------------------------Johnstone-------------------------------- Elmo------------Chester------------Jedinak-------------Taylor ---------------------------------Whelan---------------------------------- Snodgrass--Hourihane-Onomah--Grealish--Adomah It'll certainly give Derby something to think about. If Grealish is on the left and Adomah up front, it'll be interesting to see how we play - Adomah is no use to us with his back to goal, he's not going to hold the ball up which would mean that Hourihane and Onomah would have to drop very deep to join Whelan so that we can try to tempt Derby out and break on them.

DCJonah Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Wow. Did not expect that, even from this manager. If it works great but that doesn't seem the best approach to try and win a massive game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing to suggest Adomah wont do a good job up top. In fact his goals and movement suggest the opposite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted December 16, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 16, 2017 I think it will just be the same as normal but with Albert up front. He's in better form than Gabby and Hogan so why not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is nothing to suggest he won't do a good job there why has he never played there for us before? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players out of positions yet again! Leaves the strikers on the bench, players a midfielder in attack and a midfiekder also in defence. F***ing hillarious!

OutByEaster? Posted December 16, 2017 Moderator Share Posted December 16, 2017 Adomah plays well with the game in front of him - he's the antithesis of Davis who is brilliant with his back to goal - It's not necessarily that Adomah can't be a useful striker, but he'd be useful in a counter attacking team that can play through balls - we've not done much of that and we've looked more effective at the "bang it up to the big man and get support around him" than any kind of passing football. It's not just a question of Adomah up front, it's also a question of whether the team are capable of playing in a completely different way.
