Stuart Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 8 minutes ago, tomphil said: I think Armstrong is yet another example of a player being unsuited to the way we play when he's plonked up top i feel there's more to be squeezed out of him up front just not that way. Under this manager though he offers more on the left and there is only Graham who actually suits the way we play. Something will have to change sooner or later though. Somehow I don’t think it will be Mowbray. Unless he’s been told that there is an expectation of top 6 after all the recent investment. Even though I think they are clueless they can’t be happy with funding 15th placed finishes every season. This young side is screaming out for a manager with some faith in them. A new Souness - although I’ve no idea who that is. Otherwise Hughes would be my preference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue blood Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Thing Hughes may be past his sell by date now with more losses than successes of late, grateful as I am for the brilliant job he did for us. That said he did best with teams with promise and potential but not big clubs or expectations, like us and Fulham in the Prem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see him playing Tosin for this one as a result - God knows who he’ll drop him for though. Called this yesterday. Loves a tinker does our Tony. Why on earth drop Travis? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled_Rover Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Is he playing Lenihan in midfield? The City lad at RB and Bennett at RW? 3 at the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamRochina Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 What formation are we playing with that lineup? Has to be Armstrong through the middle? Home to Millwall is a must win for me and I would of played Graham and rothwell but we will see how this goes could be a masterstroke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBiz Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) Looks like a 4231 / 532 to me. Tosin at RB, Bennett out wide, Buckley/Johnson sitting in midfield, Dack ten, Downing out wide. Then to make 532, Tosin comes narrow, Bennett becomes WB, Dack/AA upfront with a midfield of Johnson, Downing (left) and Buckley (right) Edited September 14, 2019 by Harry The Bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruRover Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Would of had travis over Johnson and Rothwell over downing but can see the thinking with the team. 3 cbs to deal with Ariel threat from millwall and clearly looking to keep it on the ground when attacking them. Armstrong really needs to step up today. Excited to see Buckley, reckon him and travis could be a really exciting long term midfield partnership.
