Team for Norwich

[Gerbil]

Kuipers

Calderon Virgo Elphick Painter

Bennett Dicker Crofts Lua Lua

Murray Holroyd

Agree with this. Bennet should start. But i would start Navarro instead of Dicker.

Id go with that. Although Navarro has been impressive, Dicker and Crofts can do the same sort of job, we shouldn't be dropping our best players to accomadate him.

 

[BHseagull]

What about

Kuipers GK

Painter LB
Elphick CB
Virgo CB
Calderon RB

Lua Lua LM
Dicker CM
Navarro CM (deep)
Crofts CM
Bennet RM

Murray ST

I'd like to see that... Could obviously swap Holroyd for either winger as they would essentially be left & right forwards when on the attack, & wouldn't have as much defensive responsibility as there are the 3 central mids. That formation would also suit mcnulty (in for painter), giving him space down the wing to get forward...

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I would go with one up front and two proper widemen.

Yep - that's the team I'd go for. Still can't 100% decide on Crofts or Navarro but I reckon Crofts gives us a bit more going forward.

Bennett Dicker Navarro/Crofts Lua Lua

Murray Holroyd​

Would quite like to see Dicker alongside Navarro in the middle, with Navarro doing his usual holding role, and Dicker really trying to drop into the spaces between midfield and strikers. I can't see captain Crofts sitting out though, and in fairness he hasn't done much wrong to warrant being dropped.

Would be fairly disappointed if Gus didn't opt for that strike force on Saturday.

 

[Rookie]

Think it will be the same as last night but with Murray replacing Dickinson. New guy will be on the bench along with Dicker and Carole will get an hour to see what he can do

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

dont forget that forstergate may have been resolved by then, in which case id play Fozzy instead of Holroyd.

Some interesting views on Bennett. he was nailed on to be player of the season a couple of months ago but he does appear to have gone of the boil a bit. He is still our best winger tho & the defensive role he plays will be important on sat.

 

[severnside gull]

This is a game of of opinions;
Kuipers
Calderon, Elphick, Virgo, Painter
Bennett, Navarro, Dicker, Lualua
Murray, Holroyd

........is the way I'd go because it offers width and cover for both full backs - Dicker has the ability to change the style and pattern of play as a sub if needed

Navarro

Bennett Dicker Crofts Lua Lua

Murray​

The above, with McNulty in for Painter when he's back to his best, is the way forward if Forster stays on the sidelines. Holroyd & Dickinson can slot in as the forward or as one of the wingers if need be. Cox could also slot in instead of Crofts/Dicker & be the top of a diamond in the middle.

 

[ATFC Seagull]

Is McNulty injured? I can't believe everyone has Painter ahead of him otherwise - nowt against Painter (who is better than a lot of left-backs we've seen) but I really don't see him as an improvement, and he's not our player.

 

[WhingForPresident]

I'd be going in with a 4-3-3/4-5-1 formation, a la Chelsea of 3 or 4 years ago.

dicker HAS to play central midfield. he is head and shoulders above any other midfield at the club.

That is the team I would play but Gus likes Navarro so expect him to be in instead of Dicker.

Bless, he is alright but don't get the goals of Crofts and can't defend like Navarro he is somewhere in the middle of both. Will need to up his game to break up that partnership

This could work very well, if the two wingers take an advance position and we use them effectively. Murray will need to work hard too, which doesn't happen all too often at home.
