Moderators Zico Posted September 21, 2008 Moderators Share Posted September 21, 2008 one thing that had passed me by http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/e...ers/default.stm early days but still nice one Kevin getting in amongst them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 We must keep Davies up top and central as he is virtually unplayable in that role, if we can start to play 4-4-2 more often we will create more chances and begin to climb the table.

Sounds good to me... in fact as we have a complete lack of creativity/talent in central midfield I'd maybe go one further than that at home against all those teams we consider as relegation rivals and play 4-2-4 put Riga, Smolarek or Gardner in advanced roles as genuine wingers and ask them to work there socks off and still have 2 central strikers. A huge well done to Davies hope he keeps this up, so far his finishing with his head has been very surprising to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as the Swede is fit, Davies will be back out on the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambwfc Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I dunno I think 4-4-2 might be on the cards especially how we played second half. Maybe Megson has, completely accidentally, got the magic 4-4-2 that Lee was so searching for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank_spencer Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Hmm, folk have suddenly stopped saying he shouldn't be in the side. Don't think it's that, just those who doubted him are keeping quiet until he has a dip in goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted September 21, 2008 Site Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2008 Take a look at the fancy-dan type of forward (Anelka for example) When was the last time you saw him in a defensive role? Davies, more than any other Prem player, gives a lot more to his team than just being a centre forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassy arse Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Davies should be the first name on the teamsheet.Leads the line superbly, probably would get a few more goals if midfield were fit enough to get forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Casino Posted September 21, 2008 Moderators Share Posted September 21, 2008 those who want him out because he doesn't score enough will now apologise those who think his presence causes us to boot it long won't really have changed their opinion fwiw, i like davies, but i wonder where hes going to play elmander WILL play if we play 4-3-3, then davies has to play wider, where hes less effective 4-4-2, then he picks himself, but do we have the midfielders to do it - i think thats why he signed muamba, but hes got some convincing to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

globaldiver Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 England call up? Don't get me started, if we'd had him against Portugal in Euro 2004................. Too late now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 With a fully fit squad? 4-4-2 2 wide midfielders from: Riga, Gardner, Smolarek, Taylor 2 central from: Nolan, Muamba, Taylor Davies and Elmander up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted September 21, 2008 Moderators Share Posted September 21, 2008 thats my point nolan, muamba would be the two i don't think theyre good enough to do it after that, we're into mccann and obrien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWFC_LOVE Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Davies played a lot of yesterdays game wide right, and every goal he's scored this season has come from a set piece, so the position he's played has had nothing to do with his goal tally. Not that I'm being critical, I'm a massive fan of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bolty58 Posted September 21, 2008 Members Share Posted September 21, 2008 Don't get me started, if we'd had him against Portugal in Euro 2004................. Too late now ...and I was at Germany 2006 wondering why the best target man in the country was not playing alongside Rooney. The most under rated player around.

Not that I'm being critical, I'm a massive fan of his. And he can be surprisingly effective out wide - good pace & good crossing. As long as we have at least one scorer in the middle, & preferably at least one backing up from midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter HomerJay Posted September 22, 2008 Site Supporter Share Posted September 22, 2008 still cant see megson ever starting with 442, but its certainly an option when chasing a game. you can see the confidence in davies is already higher than last year, he actually went past a couple of players when on the wing against arsenal. keep it up lad!
