Midfield on Saturday

Re: Midfield on Saturday

Bamba played a few matches for us as a holding midfielder when he first arrived as well. It would be much harder for him to do that four years down the line, but it would have been worth a try as a one off. Not having a centre back who can play out from the back scuppers us as far as moving one of them into midfield is concerned. That said, I suppose McGuiness would be an option, but I’d be inclined to play Ng there if we were desperate.

not a bad call re: Ng

We haven’t had any midfield for months anyway, so what difference will it make

Agree.

Re: Midfield on Saturday

If somehow we are well clear of relegation come January then there would be an argument to leave him there. We aren't going to make the playoffs this season with or without him, and he seems to be developing really well at this level there. If relegation wasnt in the picture then we could let them continue to improve him and pay his wages then pick up the finished product in the summer. However, at the moment it certainly does seem like we could make good use of him THIS season

I don't think we'll be safe enough to take the risk. I think he needs to come back and play for us.

Me too, fullbacks can tackle, pass and carry the ball which are all good attributes in a CM also.

I would argue we haven't had one for a few seasons Tony.

I don't think anyone expected TOBW to make a joke. And especially not a good one!

So it whooshed....

Who's going to play right back then if Ng moves to midfield?
The more I think about it the more logical 5 at the back becomes
Ng McGuinness Morrison Flint Brown
Colwill Vaulks King
Moore Giles

I personally have no issue with 5 at the back, we have very little options to mix it up.

I don’t think 5 at the back was the issue, more the way it was played because MM was so defensive. If you can get the wingbacks up and down the pitch it’s a different team.

Nelson I guess. I don't think a back 3 with Brown as a wingback is a good idea, he's simply not good enough to do that job. I'd much rather have Giles as a wing back in that system with Harris up top with Kieffer.

God our squad is pretty shit isn't it

So you're suggesting ?

Colwill Vaulks King
Moore Harris

Not a bad shout in the circumstances

I meant Nelson at RB if NG goes into midfield. If we go for a back 3 I'd have NG and Giles as wing backs, in a back 4 NG is in midfield and Nelson is a RB.

My preferred team would be

Nelson McGuinness Flint Brown
NG Vaulks
Harris Colwill Giles
Moore

Would be tough on King to throw him in on Saturday but I guess we are desperate enough right now

4 centre backs. A right back in midfield alongside Vaulks and no keeper.

Could work.😂
