Team formation

[Old_time_miller]

Since we really don?t have a suitable centre forward available, and we are tending to play better more effective after subs - what would be a suitable line up?
And a way of playing?

We had better movement on Tuesday and goal attempts. He switched it about so much it was hard to spot his ideas, which could have been foreced. But to my way of thinking, this staid division needs a team to take it by surprise instead of the usual play by numbers.
Fluid football. Pass and move.
Aside Nombe goal threat what else have we got, if we play plan A?

Don't lose no sleep, we've had it..

4-5-1

[caytonmiller]

4-5-1

This. With hugill as the 1 and wait for the injured players to return. Or if hugill is knackered go with 433 and use mcguckin, Holmes and marth.
Or MH players players out of position.

[RU66]

If no forward in today play Martha up front with McGuckin. Assuming we're staying with 3-5-2.

[UlleyMiller]

Has to be 4-5-1.

We have no real striker, so the closest we get is Hugill as a lone target to hopefully at least bother defenders.
A fluid three in the middle, with two wide players.
Traditional back four, with full backs looking to work with the wide men going forward.

We don't have many options beyond this and let's be honest, players at this level that can switch systems seamlessly are few and far between.

[NorthWestCorner]

Hughill has had his chance and is clearly incapable. Perhaps MH will need to be creative and repurpose someone in the Paul Warhurst role. Sadly, the only mobile CB we have is the young lad from Celtic and I don’t think that would be fair.

[Townerslovechild]

Time to give Martha and Hall a start,we've 3 fit CB's...sort of,so stick with his favoured 3-5-2,Hugill and Gru's son up top.
But we are desperate for another striker seeing as or only goalscorer is crocked.
A point at Cardiff would be great.

I’d go 451 with Martha and Hall as the width in the 5. I’ve got a feeling that JJ won’t be far away for tomorrow so perhaps let him replace JH as the lone forward. Nothing to lose in that respect

Only problem is Martha he's got to prove he's a wide left player. Looks strong enough to play up front with McGuckin. Agree stay with 3-5-2 need 3 central midfield 2 up front.

You mean the young CB from Celtic who started his career as a striker.
