If we reach the Play offs

Mon Apr 23, 2012 5:22 pm

This is the team and formation i would like to see at home. We are to predictable at home boring and carry little threat. Miller's link up play has been awesome his finishing not so. So him playing just behind Mason and Earnie would be a winner in my book.
Opinions please.

That's a great team but I just can't see Malky fielding it, unfortunately. :( :ayatollah:

good attacking formation but earnie won't start unless mason and miller are both out.

At home just aint working IMO. We need to try somethig different and that formation has goals all over it :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Too hard to choose now that we have 5 very capable midfielders. I would then say go with 4-5-1 but I dont want to leave Mason or Miller out :?

4-5-1 At home Chief :o isn't that exactly what Malky does at home and it doesn't work. Its just to negative and that is what has cost us dearly recently. How many points have we lost at home because of our negativity ? And they have been against teams that have been medicore as well.

Sorry but I just don't get what people think Earnie will add to this team :? He's not fit or quick enough and when he comes on he just get's his head down and shoots even if people are in better positions. I wouldn't mind but he's not even working the keeper most of the time.

I'm not an Earnie hater (I loved watching him alongside Peter Thorne) but he has nothing to add to this team other than if we are really chasing the game and he can come on against tiring legs and just try and get on the end of a cross.

I think the formation will be Miller just behind Mason (looked quite encouraging against Leeds) and McNaughton in for Blake (Blake is still, clearly, carrying too much weight). Blake may be slightly safer at the moment than SuperKev (not his best season by any stretch !) but adds little going forward apart from a certain run at the Liberty a while back !!

For one Earnie is our only option of a striker. And someone was saying recently down the Vale how lean Darcey was looking. Now i have criticised Darcey a lot on here and he looks to have got his head down, but super Kev has not been super of late, and i think Darcey could be used more IMO

Darcy/Kev is a close call :lol: I live in hope SuperKev returns to his best at just the right time :ayatollah:

We'll agree to differ on Earnie but the Carling Cup Final line-up didn't do bad against a Liverpool team that would beat any of the play-off teams !!

It's not so much a 4-5-1, more of a 4-4-1-1. Miller just behind Mason as he is better off getting involved in the build up than actually shooting. Hard to draw a formation on here...

I'm amazed anyone could possible want earnie in the team, he is greed, won't chase, can't hold up the ball, can't win anything in the air. The only thing he offers to earnie city as it must be in his head is a greedy shot. I wouldn't even have him on the bench.
