Mon Aug 03, 2015 6:44 am

Russell Slade has settled on a back five unit of Simon Moore, Lee Peltier, Matt Connolly, Sean Morrison and Scott Malone,

But there are decisions to be made in midfield,who would you choose?

Pilkington/ Dikgacoi/Whitts and Ralls....coz it's totally worked pre-season.

Personally I'd play this...
Moore

Peltier
Connely
Morrison
Malone

RM - Pilks
CDM - Dic
CM/CAM - Whits and Ralls
LM - Ameobi

Then mason up top I front of Ralls and Whits

Needs to ditch 442 and play a 451 with energy in the team dikgacoi and Ralls central Pilkington and ameobi wide and whitts where he can influence the game right behind the striker

playing ameobi allows him to switch between a 4 5 1 and a 442. Looked good against Watford and it was the most we have controlled a game against good opposition I have seen in a long while. Does beg the question why are we still so top heavy on forwards.

The lack of pace is truly worrying. Hope this mystery box to box midfielder signs this this week.

Hopefully a 5 man midfield of:

Pilkington
Gunnarsson
Whittingham
Ralls
Ameobi (pushing on as a second striker when attacking with Ralls moving out left).

good shout apart from the defence, I would put Fabio in there at either left or right back and there's not much we can do for the time being about the center backs until Manga is back which when he is I would pair him with Connely :ayatollah:

Rydog, I based my midfield selection there on a 4-4-2 which I hope will be ditched, but in a 5 man midfield I would put Ameobi there also :thumbup: :ayatollah: :bluescarf:

I don't really agree with the defence as I would prefer Fabio over Malone but with the players who are fit to start Saturday I would play this !


-----------------------Moore------------------------

Peltier-----Morrison------Connolly------Malone

------------------Ralls-----Dikgachoi---------------

----Pilkington-------Whittingham--------Ameobi

-------------------------Mason------------------------


In the championship you need a strong midfield, with ralls and Dikgachoi sat deep we would be very hard to break down. Add the pace of Pilkington and amoebi either side of a forward thinking whittingham supporting Mason, Doyle or Jones and we would have a very good attacking force aswell IMO . On form it would be Mason at the moment
