Maybe I've missed the others? Would love to see us try a 343/3421. I'm thinking 3-5-2 or 4-4-2. Kodjia is not a winger, he's a centre forward, and a good one. We have 2 of the best strikers in the league and we need to find a way to get them both playing up front together imo. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

That calls for a strong central midfield and hard working wide men and unfortunately we dont have that. I'd still give it a go if plan A isn't working mind. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It’s why we have needed an ethos at the club for a long time. We have jumped from one playing style under one manager to a completely different style under the next manager. Hopefully the new owners will Ben looking at changing that so that we pick a style and stick with similar managers Its ok having an Ethos, you have to get the players who can play it. If you take Ron Saunders as an Example....He was more interested in work ethic than style, in the main played 4-3-3, but everyone had a task offered different attributes than the next man and it blended in to a functional unit, that resembled a team....but in the main he had players who could do what he asked of them. Graham Taylor had his Direct style using a big central Centre forward as his main thrust....but assembled a team that could all do different things, not much in the way of samey players. Not many managers have been happy with what they have inherited over the years and most felt they had to get their own.....I don't see that ever changing. Link to post Share on other sites

I think he is more of a Inside Forward.....He is not busy enough or challenge enough to be a Centre Forward....He is a player that likes to play off one and let that player take all the physical knocks. He likes space an avoids pressing or close contact. The midfield is not rounded enough to play 2 up front, unless as you say 3-5-2.....The wingers are not effective enough either, both offensively or defensively. We have one or two players not playing well consistently and our best midfielder who holds the ball, out. We have gaps that the opposition have little effort in exploiting.

I see him as a poacher striker, a fox in the box but he also have all the attributes to play as an advanced striker. Link to post Share on other sites

VT Supporter Mark Albrighton 7,483 Posted February 8, 2019 VT Supporter Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) In his first season, Farke went on a run of two wins in twelve and another run of three wins in sixteen. Literally the final third of the season, three wins. However that’s Norwich and we’re us. Looking like two wins in eleven. We carry on like that, long term plan or not, I’d be surprised to see Smith here for the summer. You know it’s unacceptable Dean and you know what happens if it continues.
