Odd considering thats where he began his careerNot happening, we that against PNE / another game and he did not look good there. MVE is not a winger - bar Sakamoto, we literally do not have a recognised winger.
Stick Simms out right who tore Preston a new one out second half up there,bring Callum central!I’d pick
Collins
MVE Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Kelly
Eccles Torp
Ohare Simms Wright
Probably our best team atm that.I’d pick
Collins
MVE Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Kelly
Eccles Torp
Ohare Simms Wright
It’s weird we spent £4m on a player to just sit on the bench. Fully expecting JDS and Wilson to start as well.Probably our best team atm that.
Dont think he’ll play Bidwell or Kelly and he’ll probably play Palmer, Jds.
Kitching no idea what Robins thinks about him tbh. Or Collins!
Collins
MvE Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Eccles Torp
O’Hare Palmer Wright
Simms
Don’t want to see five at the back again.
I didn't realise they were an incredible 19 points short of safety.
Gone already haven't they. Nowt to play for.
We get the first goal and their heads are surely going to drop like a lead balloon.
Where have you found that? Transfermarkt has all his career appearances at RB/RM (which is RWB).Odd considering thats where he began his career
Tavares is not the answer at allSimms works better as a solo up front with wide players running off him I’d seriously start Tavares on the Right this game and Haji on the left with Palmer in CAM. You can all laugh but we need to play to our players strengths, Haji’s strength is cutting in and hitting the line, Simms strength is link up play and being that number 9, Palmer works well with players running forward with him at different angles for him to distribute or have a pop. Having 4 up there allows Torp to pup up with more space, and Kelly sitting enables the balance, and the Full backs to push on. That gets the same amount of players forward as the 5 back but more efficiently and more to our teams strengths.
For me Kitching has to start I like Binks bit Kitch nits the backline together I think, Gotta be Bidwell - Kitching - Thomas - Lati.
MvE to come on later he needs a rest.
No he isnt but it allows us to play the system that got the best out of our team, who else would you want there, a Tavares who will work hard or an O’hare that wont give half a shitTavares is not the answer at all

Not unless the question is "who is not up to Championship level and definitely won't be here next season"Tavares is not the answer at all

… everyone become an expert football manager.
‘Why play 5 at the back?’
‘Why not play Tavares?’
Tavares is not good enough to be a starter at Championship level. Maybe you could play Palmer, MVE and Wright on the wings - but it’s square pegs in round holes.
Without smelling my own fart, I did say a few weeks ago that the reason 4-2-3-1 works is because of Sakamoto. Without him, we have to play 3-4-1-2.
I don’t like it, I said after Sheff Weds in the cup that 3-4-1-2 was ‘dead’ but the best team we can field until the end of the season is 3-4-1-2/the box.
For me, we need to go back to what made us successful last season. Absorb pressure and hit teams on the counter with direct football. That said, I’m not sure we can do that with this set of players.
In a nutshell.it makes no sense to put 8-9 players out of their comfort zone rather than 1.
I agree on the points about Vik and Hamer. However, I do think putting balls in behind defences for Simms and Wright could work. My doubts are whether the team can execute those kind of counter attacking passes - we couldn’t on Friday.We are missing the two players that made that possible. We have no one with the speed of thought and execution of Hamer for a quick counter or the strength and quality of Vik to fight on his own up front and drag us up the pitch. We are also lacking the grit and organisation of Fadz at the back along with the quality of Doyle.
If we sit back and try and soak up pressure we concede. If we play five at the back the midfield don’t get on the ball and we play U shaped passes along the back five until we lose it or lump it.
We might be able to get to a point where we can use the ball playing 532 (and it is 532 not 352 cos our WBs come deep, and we end up with 54——1), but it’s not going to happen from here in the next ten games.
We have sheaf back soon. We have lots of players who can fill in at RW, I’d use O’Hare personally, it makes no sense to put 8-9 players out of their comfort zone rather than 1.
