Park the bus

[Willy Dangle]

Can Holloway park the bus to play for pens........

Not sure he could as he is too attack minded.

I dont think either manager will want pens, I can see a very high tempo game coming up... first 15-20 mins will decide the result!

Agreed. Early goal will be crucial for both sides.

Only if it's towing a caravan

i think they will put out an attacking team and go for it

I have a feeling this thread will be the first one bounced on monday night

I agree, which will suit us as we struggle when teams sit back and defend at the Amex.

 

[Bozza]

No chance. Zaha and Bolasie both unleashed and they'll pile forward looking for an early goal.

 

[Beach Hut]

I was very surprised they did not go for it in the 1st 15 minutes last night, I thought we would be totally under the cosh.

They have no choice but to try and blitz us on Monday so it should be a sensational game with total attacking football.

I don't think parking the bus is something Holloway has ever done. Even when taking Blackpool to Old Trafford he went for it and lost 4-2 (I think) in the end. It should be a good open game but first goal is crucial given how we don't comeback from behind or let leads slip often.

+ Kevin Phillips starting Perhaps, and Moritz as well and hopefully the next starlet Jason Banton on the bench?

They know what if they go one up we will struggle to win.

 

[BensGrandad]

I disagree with most and think that Hollowhead will try to park the bus and rely on a quick breakaway from Zaha or Bolasie to feed Philips the chance in the 6 yd box.

I can't see bus parking being an option. That requires them to fall back and guard the final third, giving us the option of moving the ball around a lot more. The way they tried to snuff us last night involves chasing every ball like terriers, regardless of where it is on the pitch. I expect more of the same. They'll try and ullify our passing game by giving us no time at all on the ball.

Cannot see Phillips starting - there is no way he would last 90 minutes in what will be such a high pressure game.

This.
