Revelredne1961 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I played football for over 30 years and think I have a good understanding of the game, but I would never second guess an ex professional, I am just going to trust in our manager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admire, but do not share, your conviction that the extra midfielder would not make a mistake or give the ball away cheaply. By your own argument, we would be guarenteed at least a 0-0 with no defenders on teh field. We need players who can pass the ball, are confortable on it and know what they are supposed to be doing, before we complain too much about formations.

Me too. One of the plus points definitely. No problem with the front 2, they will get into their stride given the chances, and Delfounso has quality that belongs higher than DIv 2.

Hickman - You've got in a midfield 3 for some reason, his pace and deliveries would be wasted. Plus can't imagine he'd be disciplined enough central. Crawford - Obviously? you've got him out wide there, where sure he'd whip some crosses in but that's not what Doyle is about. Pointless. Also not got the pace for it. Delfouneso - Can play wide and would graft but deliveries would be non-existent, prefer his industry close to support Doyle. Darcy - On the wing? No thanks. That is just very funny.

Firstly I genuinely wasnt having a go at the defenders, they are there to keep the ball out of the net, and passing isnt really their thing at this level. But the passing stats probably show that our 5 defenders had the ball miles more than the other 5. It just makes sense to me to give the responsibility to midfielders to do the carrying, passing, dribbling. 1 less defender on the pitch and 1 more midfielder - just my opinion. Wouldn't you agree that Darcy, Tutte or Crawford of those not starting that game, would have carried more of a threat to the opposition by replacing 1 of the back 3?

They would have also carried more of a threat than Sarvo, White & Comley. I also think we would have conceded more than one, due to us then playing with 2 centre halfs and 2 wing backs, none of which anyone would use the term 'defensive kingpin' on. Again, you can play whatever formation you want, the players who played on Saturday (and Tuesday, and the previous Saturday) look to have plenty of work to do individually.

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted September 14, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted September 14, 2020 Not read much of this thread but for me, lets get the formation settled. Easier bedding in 1 or 2 from that point. We wont see what Evatt considers his best 11 until 2021. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
