Whitestar Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 What if we play like 88 Holland? And they play like 79 Forest? And the ref plays like 98 pierre Luigi cullina? Might be a good game 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breightmet Boy Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I'm not watching it me, can't handle big games, I'll be hiding behind the couch like my nephews did when Dr Who was on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ani Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 LWB is up for debate - I would stick rather than bring DJ in. Morley was awful Saturday but think him and Dempsey form the basis of our best midfield. Until recently Lee would be the other but been a while since he performed well. I do not like Sheehan so personally would play Lego head (GJ) , be surprised if not Sheehan though. Upfront alongside Dion I am sure it will be Elias but would like say Big Dan, his pace to provide an outlet and some signs he has something to offer, Big Vic not made the impact we must have expected but cometh the hour..... ??

But I did say we might play Dion as a lone striker and play e.g. Lee as a second 10. b) Any of our "big strikers" - shouldn't be needed as we'd be trying to play through them with quick passing and movement rather than hoofing it or trying to outmuscle them.

Lets hope you are wrong, as on Saturday their defenders were having a day off with them 2 up top, the ball just kept coming back at us, yet when the 2 big lads came on it changed for the better, it gave their defence more to think about, nothing against Kachunga, but we're definitely needing a big lad up top, how far is Bod off?

BeeversLeftPeg Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 'Overuse' is the one that is worrying. First name I thought is Connor Bradley, and with Geth out as well it would leave us looking unbalanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostock Whites Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Tbf, when we played Plymouth, there was a fair few players missing as well either through cup tied or out injured. Let's seen but we're more than capable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Impact - Bradley took a few early on, but I’d be surprised if it was him based on the fact he lasted the whole game. Dempsey took a bit of a shocker that went unnoticed in the middle of the second half, he tried to show it didn’t hurt (looked like their player was trying to leave one on him so he didn’t want him to think he’d achieved it) but you could tell it properly hurt him. Lee also looked like he was hurt pretty soon after he came on. Hope it’s neither of the first 2, alongside Traff and Santos they’re probably the other 2 critical players on the team sheet.

Lostock Whites Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I heard something like Toal, Johnston and Santos only played their first game together as a back 3 the other week, bonkers. Not had great luck with injuries this season, lots to crucial players as well but depth has definitely helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QFPants Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Must admit I do think it limits Bradley when Jones isn’t there. Toal has been excellent at the back but missed Gethin on Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted May 17, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted May 17, 2023 Reckon Toal gives a touch more in the air thougb, which may be vital against Barnsley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones benefits Bradley link up play but your right Toal is better with set pieces which is they are strong. Doesn’t help have all eleven in the box so Dion should be on the half way line which will take two of their players out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, its what the coaching staff want, but I've never got my head round having no one left up at a corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
