samo II Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) 2 minutes ago, Griffin said: I'd be pleased if he was in form but he hasn't been great which is my main concern. I agree that his experience will definitely help, especially against an experienced (although currently not very good) Forest team. Cant disagree, but just hope that he plays well today. It has been concerning how many injuries he has picked up this year, so think Pack or Brownhill will be in there in his place more often than not going forward. But for today; just hope him and Hegeler keep Forest out, and give a good launch pad for the lads up top.

RaspberryRed Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 20 minutes ago, samo II said: Yeah; odd one. But can see the logic; with Tomlin, Pack and Brownhill on the bench looks like we've gone for more options to prop up the midfield if we get leggy, and that isn't a bad call. Wilbs is that bit of experience, and I could see Tomlin deployed up top if we needed to keep the shape but replace a forward. Just happy at that midfield, and the fact there are no changes apart from Tammy (which is a no brainier). Hope Engvall is back next weekend and gets a crack at Burnley, even if off the bench. WOW that's prophetic as that's pretty much word what LJ just said on the radio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Tomlin said he's only happy when he's playing so for certain he isn't happy and I can see him becoming the next JET. Maybe best to get our money back by moving him on. You can't continually keep our best and most expensive player on the bench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long term I'd agree. Short term I'd rather we made as few changes to a winning side as possible. Think Giefer and Tammy in is enough.

So - anyone disagree with the line up or will we be treated to a gurt big dollop of hindsight if we lose/are losing ? I have the same concerns I have ever since we went up. Making wing backs work in this league, for us. We get knackered, score goals, but conceed more. Given were we are now, very happy with this side, and fingers crossed we do the business today. Need to nulify any of their wide players, until the final whistle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unan Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 " What a surprise, no summer signings and even without lans it looks a stronger team. Don't really like Mance in dm but needs must I suppose. Also not a fan of Mills but the fact we have Worral on the bench plus Mance in MF proves how ridiculous bringing two new cb in this summer was. You have to wonder if PM hadn't had 6 options at cb each game would he have created a more consistent defence.. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Robin Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) A 3-4-1-2 that can become a 3-4-3 with Paterson moving on the right side of the attacking front, or a 4-3-1-2 with Bryan or Little moving back in difence: tactically, it's a choice that make sense to me. The disadvantages are the use of al three CB at the same time, and less opportunities in midfield for some players(ex: Reid and Smith, because on the bench there are already two midfielders as substitutes).
