What sets us apart from the other teams in this division ... 11:36 - Sep 15 with 1275 views | SomethingBlue | ... is our abundance of very good (for this level) midfield options. Therefore I think we need as many of them on the field as possible, more often than not. Said it elsewhere but I think people get far too hung up on playing two up front; we'll do it enough times, and I suspect it'll work handsomely against most of the weaker teams, but think the key to going straight up may lie in how the midfield shapes up against the top-half sides. Would like to see us try a central midfield three with Nolan in it, somewhere, before too long as he knows how to get on the end of things and can hopefully mitigate for any concerns about goal threat. | |

Wouldn't surprise me. I just think we should try playing a three for a little while and get more of our best players on the pitch. People work themselves into a proper froth about two up top but it's not just about the strikers. | |

What sets us apart from the other teams in this division ... on 11:56 - Sep 15 with 1219 views | Darth_Koont | Certainly needed something else yesterday. Two up front was toothless because we just couldn't get the ball to them (or support players) with any regularity or quality. IMO we haven't played all that well this season but that's a reason to be optimistic. If Lambert can find a bit better balance and organisation then I think we've got the players to look quite tasty - not just a promotion team this season but the sort of team that can hit the ground running in the Championship next year. | |

I agree. Yesterday's result actually encourages me because it confirms the idea that there are probably only a couple of teams (Peterborough and perhaps Pompey, assuming they push on) that would definitely have the firepower to put us away if we were having a shocker. Think 4-4-2 comes across as a bit of a quick fix for us and any more sustainable success we have will come with playing three in the middle. It doesn't have to be a negative move whatsoever to shape up in 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 and people need to disabuse themselves of the notion. | |

What sets us apart from the other teams in this division ... on 12:13 - Sep 15 with 1169 views | xrayspecs | Mentioned before but I would like to see us try 3-5-2 once Toto is back. KVY and Georgiou would be wingbacks. A midfield three of Skuse, Downes/Huws, Judge/Nolan/Dozzell With Keane and Norwood up top, Keane to be the target man and Norwood to play off him. | | | |

We haven’t played well, our intensity has won us a few games. This team would need some surgery to hit the ground running in the championship, there’s been a massive drop off in quality in league 1. I’ve been surprised how much the dip in quality has been. | | | |
What sets us apart from the other teams in this division ... on 12:17 - Sep 15 with 1156 views | JakeITFC | 433 our best shape probably, but: - I worry about Kenlock in that shape, and it might be a bit too gung ho to put Garbutt/Georgiou at left back with not much protection - I think he’d play Judge wide in a forward three which is a waste - we’d have two good strikers not playing I think that is preferable though to the alternatives - he has to get three central midfielders on more often than not, especially when everyone is fully fit. FWIW, I think he’d look to use Keane as a 10 in a 4231 if he went with that again, so doesn’t really solve many problems for us. | | | |

Reckon we would need at least CB (to replace Chambers) RB (Kenlock) CM (Skuse) WM (Rowe/Edwards) 2 forwards (Norwood) | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Like the look of that but would have Roberts in for Huws. | |

3 at the back, for a laugh.....? on 12:41 - Sep 15 with 1078 views | Bloots | …………………..Holy ………...Wolf Chambo Toto KVY...…………………………….Garbo ………….Skuse Downes ………………..Nolo …………...Nors Jacko …...Nolo and Judge, interchangeable, Keane an option up front. Our "wide" players have been largely ineffective all season, so bin them all off. KVY and Garbs have shown far more attacking intent, give them a bit of freedom. Most teams in the 3rd division are crap, so 3 at the back should do. (only issue is no naturally left sided player, but they'll cope) Sorted. Promotion guaranteed. [Post edited 15 Sep 2019 12:44]

Pretty much the spine of the team and a flank then 4 or 5 players of sufficient Championship quality to be added | |

Maybe. Unbalanced and immobile though. | |
