Strategy for Wednedsay

Post by Dubai Blue » Mon May 16, 2005 1:27 pm

Well time for all us would be pundits to get warmed up for Wednesday.

Would be interested to hear what you would do if you were JR.

Option 1 : Start with the finishing line up on Saturday in a 442.
Option 2 : Try to spring a surprise with 433 and have Bowditch playing in the hole, perhaps start Magic on the bench and have Horlock shielding the back 4 - defensive 433
Option 3 : 433 with Pablo added and Magic in CM - attacking 433
Option 4 : Play 5 at the back with 2 wing backs Wilnis & Richards and Magilton, Westlake and Miller or Westy, Miller & Currie in mid.
Option 5 : Start with the starting lineup from Saturday but with Richards in for Diallo.

Maybe there are other contenders.

Please remember to vote :lol:

Nows not the time to be changing the system, stick to 442!

I think we should adopt the Stuart Pearce approach.

Play Lewis Price in goal and stick Kelvin up front!

:lol:

When Stuart Pearce was Forest manager he once picked a team without a goalie (until his wife pointed out his mistake!), so I just think he was making up for it yesterday by playing two!

Well it looks pretty unambiguous up to now :lol:

Doesn't anyone think that in cup tie football you need to do something unexpected to give you a strong start ?

Well Kelvin has said he always wanted to be a striker at heart, and score goals rather than save them.... thank god for us he did decide to pursue a career between the sticks instead
