[Albion] The one up front against Leicester

[dazzer6666]

Let's play a team of scape goats. Bruno, Murray, Hemed, Bong, Stephens, Ryan. Shame AK's banned.

Solly has to start too.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I've read a few comments indicating that Locadia MUST start against Leicester which I just find bizarre.

If anything his performance last night, whilst promising, highlighted to me that he must NOT start against Leicester.

So, who would be your one up front against the Foxes?

Talk about biased survey!

Its Lorcarda for me all day. We will need as much pace as we can muster for this game.

But I would probably play him with Murray in a 5-3-2. Murry off for Hemed to score the third, late on.

But what would I know?

I've a strong feeling Locadia won't be in the starting line up. I understand that he looked sharp going forward but defensively his positioning and work rate were a bit sketchy, CH won't like that in a league match.

Spot on. While we have looked great going forward when we have played the extra striker it's just not the Hughton way. Plan A has worked so far and I can't see him changing it.

Start with James Tilley, as Leicester won't know how to handle him. If he flops, I'm sure all NSC posters will be kind in their judgements.

 

[Questions]

Murray of course with either Izzy or Locadia playing on the left. Gross usual place and Bong back in if fit. The rest picks itself providing Stephens is back fit. I think March may get one more chance. Only way CH will change things is if Izzy can play right and then Locadia can play left.

Stephens being fit is the key. Wasnt it suggested he was touch and go for United so he should be.

That’s stupid. All his strength was in his hair, like Samson. He’s going to be useless with his marine-grade no 2 buzzcut.

 

[GT49er]

We could really go for it and have TWO up front and Izzy and Solly down the wings. No doubt someone will remind me I know nothing about football, but hell, why not?! Grrrrrrr, c'mon you Seagulls!!

So where do you play Pascal Gros?

 

[Weststander]

Captain of the Scapegoat XI - Skalak

Recall Norwood from loan, and persuade David Lopez out of retirement.

Scapegoat XI shaping up nicely.

He’ll be able to concentrate better with this new cut and not keep having to wet his fingers with spit and stick thinning quiff across ever growing bald patch. Watch him go now.

So where do you play Pascal Gros?

Between midfeld 3 and front 2 so in a formation of GK - 4 - 3- 1- 2 ?

You’re responding to a post that says we have Izzy and Solly on the wings and two up front. Are you dropping Stephens or Propper ?

 

[portslade seagull]

Has to be the man in form Murray. Locadia either plays behind him or subs on later. He needs game time to get match fit

Sorry I misunderstood as AK is suspended and I wouldnt pick March at any time in fact it is debatable whether we would do better starting with 10 men as at least we would know we are missing 1 player from the start.

March did ok yesterday, particularly defensively and more so early in the second half. Still too weak and lacking confidence. Very harsh to say starting with 10 would be better though.

That was obviously tongue in cheek but I didnt think that he did ok yesterday apart from the cross that Locadia should have got on target at least.

 

[amexer]

We need goals. Murray and Locadia will play with March sub

I liked the 433 that last night's formation morphed into when we had the ball. Gross was brilliantly effective in the deeper lying and more flexible role he had. The 4411 to date can expose his lack of pace and he was able to control the game (even) more.

So for me it is the ideal formation moving forward. The question is not 'who is the one up front?' but 'can Gross and Locadia play in the same team?'. And I believe they can as follows:

Ryan
Schelotto - Duffy - Dunk - Bong
Propper - Stephens - Gross
Izquierdo - Murray - Locadia

Good team that.

Agreed......love the look of that, although set up would still be more 4411 to start I guess with Locadia and Jose on the wings

Oh do try and follow the conversation! I was replying to a poster who suggested playing 2 up front (presumably Murray and Locadia) with Solly and Izzy out wide. So, in those circumstances where would you play Gros? The answer is not ignoring the question and saying 'Go for 4-3-1-2!'
