Your Preferred 11

Your Preferred 11

My only concern with that lineup is Best at LB, considering KKH will be bombing on, you'd expect your LB to need to be more defensively inclined, and I've no reason to think he's there yet. Hughes as a defensive LB that can tuck in is a lot more solid to allow KKH to fly.

That said, if you've got McCann there as a destroyer, you might have enough cover!
 
Everyone fit. No new signings.

Woodman
Kesler-Hayden - Storey - Whatmough - Best
Thordarson - McCann - Frokjaer
Osmajic - Riis - Okkels

Good call JD. McCann is the main man in midfield, a spoiler, a little tiger. Pace up front with Milly and Okk setting up chances for Riis

Clear as day we need a left back and left sided centre half. We have cover the majority. I actually prefer Keane to Riis

I just want Best to have 3 or 4 games under a new manager who can organise a defence. If he struggles then Hughes can easily swoop back in.

He certainly needs games, either here or somewhere else, ASAP. We'll see what PH wants to do, but I think we might stay 3atb, and if so, Best has to be targeting that LCB slot.

I reckon that defence gets pulled apart if someone breaks the press, but dont really care about that. We've spent the last 2 seasons doing everything to protect those players and have still conceded around 1.5 goals a game.

Nice to see a line up where the opposition has to worry about multiple players for once

I honestly don't think any back 4 we put out can be worse than the back 3's we've fielded over the last 2 seasons.
 
4-2-3-1

Woodman

KKH - Storey - Lindsay - Hughes

Whiteman - Thor

Holmes - Mads - Okkels

Osmajic

Play Hughes inverted so he can lot in CB (shite at going forward) and Thor can press on further up the pitch,
Get KKH up as much as he can and Whiteman to drop back.

£50 fine is Mads receives a pass in his own half
£50 fine is Osmajic doesn't receive a through ball
 
I've not yet seen enough of OKKels to have an opinion on him, but he wasn't great on Saturday

Wingers don't make dispirited, disorganised sides good - whoever they are they just sink into the surrounding morass. Determined central midfielders can make a difference and it seems Thordarson did attempt to do so while Whiteman yet again failed in that respect. But ultimately it is the manager who makes a team play - that is why we need a new one.
 
I can’t put a 4 at back because our squad is so bad at the basics. So I’ll put 352 until recruitment comes in

At Sheff U Heckingbottoms rough squad was

League 1 Wes

Ahmedhodzic - Egan - O’Connell

Norwood

Baldock - Berge - McAtee/Doyle - Lowe

McBurnie Ndiaye

So I’d build the squad as similar as possible

Woodman

Storey - Lindsay - Hughes

Whiteman

Kes - Thor - Mads - Okkels

Keane Osmajic

Not ideal but what I would go for without recruitment
 
4-2-3-1.

Woodman

Kesler-Hayden
Storey
Lindsay
Hughes

McCann
Whiteman

Thordarson
Mads
Okkles

Osmajic

I didn't think I'd ever not pick Riis but he doesn't look interested at the moment for me. Hopefully Heckingbottom can get the best out of him again.

Mads told not to come into our half. Osmajic told to play off the last man and for gods sake work on trying to stay onside!
