Blondi Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Think it'll be a draw, Leeds having a new manager and we're basically screwed. Bolton 1 Leeds 1 Roll on Preston Quote
BWFC_LOVE Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) If you're reading Lenny (injuries and Vela contract bonus/behaviour permitted):- Amos Vela Prince Wheater Casado Spearing Pratley Davies Feeney Madine Clayton Like to see us try this 4-5-1 into 4-3-3 with Clayton and Feeney supporting Madine as much as they can while trying to conserve energy for defensive duties. Didn't go to Burnley but from what I understand it was working well until Spearing got injured. Football has changed since this system was everywhere but it never did us any harm under Allardyce. Obviously the standard has dropped somewhat mind. Edited October 22, 2015 by BWFC_LOVE Quote

Casino Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 does wheater speak french is spearing fit is vela the new andranik Quote
Mounts Kipper Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) does wheater speak french The other 3 probably speak better English is spearing fit He's a doubt is vela the new andranik Andranik better than Vela. Edited October 23, 2015 by Mounts Kipper Quote
Farrelli Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I'd have Derik at right back over Vela, he is a better defender. Vela would not have coped with Gray/Donaldson pace on Tuesday. Quote
Casino Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 if derik or one of the other 2 right backs aint better than vela at right back, what the fcukery did we spend summer collecting em for Quote
Blondi Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I'm not Spearing's biggest fan, but given our current predicament, I'd have him straight back in the side. Quote
whoareya? Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Vela has told Lennon he won't play right back and that's the root of the problem ........perhaps? Quote
jules_darby Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Andranik better than Vela.We'll see But I'm calling bollocks Quote
Farrelli Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 There is no need for Vela to play right back. Wilson was ok, not sure about Pissano yet and Derik is decent from what I've seen. Can Vela play up front ? That is more pertinent to our current predicament. Quote
Biggish Dave Posted October 23, 2015 Author Posted October 23, 2015 Probably better than Heskey as a starter! Quote
Horwich Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 We need spearing in the team so we can push davies further forward Quote
Farrelli Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Pratley needs to go further forward, he is lost in the centre position. Spearing and Davies would be good together and Pratley in front. This should be possible now Welly is injured. Feeney Madine Clayton as the trio up top. We will be narrower but more effective as an attacking force. Quote
Blondi Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Where did Pratley play in midfield last season when he was great? Was it wide left? Anyway, the midfield should be Mavies, Spearing, Pratley & Feeney IMO. Quote
Rembrandt Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 So many options. Do I hear the bingo machine being dusted & oiled ? Quote
Farrelli Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Pratley is definitely better in the roaming role, the Kevin Nolan type position (pretty much like when he was playing well last season). I think Madine would benefit although he needs to get more mobile. Feeney and Clayton would have to drop back in at times to make the midfield more solid but its not a bad home team set up. Quote
kent_white Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I'd have Derik at right back over Vela, he is a better defender. Vela would not have coped with Gray/Donaldson pace on Tuesday. I thought he looked lost against Brum. Plus he spent most of the second half bickering with Feeney. Quote
jagermoot Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Id play derek as a defensive midfielder Quote
clown Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Id play derek as a defensive midfielder In the Campo role you mean? Quote
Farrelli Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I thought he looked lost against Brum. Plus he spent most of the second half bickering with Feeney. He played ok, there is bugger all wrong with the defence IMO. I would have Prince back in for Dervite though. Quote
snowball Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I thought he looked lost against Brum. Plus he spent most of the second half bickering with Feeney. O my God I'm agreeing with Kent again! Funny how people see a different game but for me Derik didn't know where the hell Gray was most of the time and Donaldson was 'dealt' with more by Wheater & Dervite. He was worse than Vela in that position for me and that's the benchmark I'm using at moment. Wouldn't like to see him at full back in a hurry Quote
Farrelli Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Vela hasn't played there all season so it isn't a benchmark worth having. I think lack of pace would have been a problem on Tuesday against Gray but we all see things differently. Quote
