ngog - target man, first line of midfield defence
beckford - got to run the channels/ find the space/ score the goals
thats it. must admit I'd prefer more the barca press rather than the rorkes drift seige approach in a tactical sense - basically impose ourselves.
ok a few problems
ream is not a left mid however you look at it
beckford cant run both flanks while finding space and scoring goals ( cristiano ronaldo would struggle)
why cant ream do that. naturally left sided which will give us balance & fill the yawning chasm we have had on that side. reasonably composed on ball, neat with possession and fabled to be quick. also looking at it as more of a combo with Tierney.
wasn't expecting beckford to cross it and head in the cross. running channels is exactly what he does - the gap between centre half and full back or between centre halves

while having a former centre back playing CDM for us is a great idea retrofitting him to left mid because hes left footed is a little bit much in my opinion, soon we will have a medo right defensive mid spearing central cdm and ream left defensive mid.
is the way forward really with 7 defenders?

Re: What do we do?
quite difficult to debate with someone who re-interprets and recasts what I've said. My line up does not equate to 7 defenders !?mrpiccollo wrote:StaffsTrotter wrote:mrpiccollo wrote:ok a few problemsStaffsTrotter wrote:bogdan - keeper

In every match this season there has been an issue in terms of width - and it has had a negative effect on both our attacking and defensive play. Burnley and qpr were particularly bad examples of were the oppo FBs had the freedom of the park to advance to our 18 yard line and swing crosses in. In an attacking sense on those occasions when someone has actually occupied the left midfield space they have inevitably cut back in-field or gone backwards. It might be very simplistic but it does make a difference as to which foot you naturally use. Tierney is the only person who has got forward and got decent crosses in. Without wanting to repeating myself I'm looking at the combo and think it is worth a look

I like drugs. I don't think we've optimised on drugs yet. A bit of cheating, but nothing easily detectable, things like EPO, and adrenaline injections directly into the pineal gland.Abdoulaye's Twin wrote:Drugs?

We let Freedman get on with his job while we sit back and enjoy the ride, however bumpy it may get from time to time

Re: What do we do?
Why should any of us have faith in Freedman's ability as a manager? He has one of the lowest win percentages in the league and during our best run of results, we were very lucky to get as many points as we did. We've never played well under Freedman and he hasn't got the most out of the players, so why should we stick with him? He didn't do a particularly great job for Palace either, which is why many of their fans wanted him to be sacked before having a short good run.CAPSLOCK wrote:What do we do?

If we beat Leeds, I guarantee there'll be a bunch of posters who come on here and make "I told you so" comments towards those who doubt Freedman. A win would be great, no doubt, but surely nobody actually believes that we're going up under Freedman? We're only going to stagnate and become an average Championship side if he stays with us in the long term because he's nowhere near good enough as a manager.

Re: What do we do?
Freedman isn't Coyle. Keep up.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Re: What do we do?
I don 't think he's saying we should, just that he's going nowhere so let's just see what happens. You may be right in the long run but there's no point keep going on about sacking him because it isn't going to happen for the foreseeable future.SmokinFrazier wrote:Why should any of us have faith in Freedman's ability as a manager?

You never know he might just turn results round, he's done it before with us and Palace. Doubt we'll be seeing much in the way of entertainment though, so if results don't improve significantly then he'll have to go. Exciting attacking football can mitigate results for a while, but Freedman won't have that luxury.

Just out of interest, if we did lose to Leeds and Derby, would you support Freedman being sacked? And if not, how many more poor results would it take?

Why not? KD was expected to win the headers, cross the ball then bang it in the net.StaffsTrotter wrote: wasn't expecting beckford to cross it and head in the cross.
