Team v Wolves.

Team v Wolves.

I really have no idea what players and in what formation we will put out on Saturday. But I would hope that whatever formation Hecky chooses the team will include Clarke, Offiah, Vukcevic, Leroy, Small and Erabi in addition to Iversen, McCann and Devine. Who the other two might be is another matter but I would hope they will not include Valentin, Hughes or Thompson nor Burgzorg come to that.

May as well send Burgzorg back with how much he's been written off by people because of the last game 😂

I wouldn’t actually be against going to a 5 back against Wolves. Osmajic and Erabi could potentially form a good partnership and until we get genuine wingers I don’t think playing Burgzorg/ Lang/ Devine on the wings is the answer

Yep. To an extent, any formation can work if you have quality players in positions they are comfortable with.

We did really well with 352 for the first half of last season, until Armstrong disappeared and everything stopped working.

I am not writing him off but I suspect he may need to make a few 20-30 minutes sub appearances before he is ready to be pitched in from the start. But perhaps if Leroy can provide an improved service from midfield that will enable Burgzorg and others to become more effective.

I'd like to see him starting with Vukcevic as that's the type of full back needed to complement his game. But I'd still be starting him for this game.
 
I'd go with:

Iversen

Clarke
Offiah
Lindsay
Vukcevic

McCann
Leroy

Devine
Lang
Burgzorg

Erabi

I hope he does go with 4-2-3-1 as I feel we have a lot of options for that front 3 behind a main focal point up top.

Small not fit enough yet to start I wouldn't think.
 
I don’t think we’ve got the central defender or wide player he’s after to go with a back four….so.

Iversen
Clarke Offiah Storey Gibson Vuk
Devine McCann Leo
Erabi Osmajic

Storey/ Gibson is the only possible CB pairing that might work.

Lindsay and Hughes just can't play In a 4, full stop.

If Small is at RW, then it can easily drop into a back three out of possession. I'm guessing that's the plan, but yeah, we're still short on the necessary players if we want to use that system regularly.

RW, CB, and LB needed.

No sign of Moran in any these selections. I’d select him
Ahead of McCann . From what I’ve seen of him he’s got a good pass in him and McCann though he’s all heart only seems able block and stop with virtually no goal threat .. adding the creativity of Leroy Devine and Devine it’s us on the front foot where they have to respond to us.

You dont think we should have even one defensive minded midfielder to protect our fragile defence against a relegated prem side?
