Time to try Four Four Two tonight? Thoughts on formation?

[Brighton Breezy]

Have written a small blog on why I think we should play 442 tonight.

http://sweatshoptachinardi.blogspot.com/2011/10/time-to-flirt-with-four-four-two.html

What formation would everyone else play? Thoughts? Who would you play?

Mine would be:

GK Ankergren
LB Painter
RM Calderon
CB Dunk
CB Greer
LW Noone
RW Vincente
CM Dicker
CM Bridcutt
F Mackail-Smith
F Hoskins

Subs:
Brezovan
Vincelot
Harley
Sparrow
Barnes

Based on the issue with painter and finding a position for Vincente...i like the idea of a 3-5-2. Two marking CB (Cook and Dunk, leaving Greer spare) holding midfielders in Bridcutt and Vincelot (which i think is his best position based on where he played for Daggers), with attacking midfield position provided by Vincente. I have to admit not being a fan of Dicker, especially with two other creative midfielders, he just looks short of pace and lethargic.

GK Ankergren
LCB Cook
CB Dunk
RCB Greer
LWB Noone
CM Vincelot
CM Bridcutt
RWB Calderon
AM Vincente
F Mackail-Smith
F Hoskins

Subs:
Brezovan
Sparrow
Harley
Dicker
Barnes

However, just an opinion and in Gus we trust!!!!

Exactly that with 1 exceptioin swap the roles of Vincelot and Dicker but according to Radio Sussex Sparrow is going to continue in the team tonight which I would expect because Tanno spoke highly of his contribution against Hull when asked on Monday.

If you are going to play Vicente on the wing (which I doubt Gus will do ever) surely you'd play him on the correct one?

I would not have him as a winger, winger. More a midfielder tucking in on the right allowing Calderon to get round him and allow Vicente to get more involved on the ball than if stuck out on the touchline.

 

[Notters]

I'd like to see an all-out attacking formation:

Calderon - Dunk - Greer - Vincelot
Noone - Vicente - Spazz - LuaLua
----- Hoskins - CMS -----

 

[BensGrandad]

If you are going to play Vicente on the wing (which I doubt Gus will do ever) surely you'd play him on the correct one?

Which is which one as he has a very good left foot but spent alot of time on the right cutting inside.

 

[The Large One]

I hope Gus doesn't 'try' anything.

I hope that what he does is based on sound tactical knowledge, good preparation and training, and an understanding of his team's qualities and those of the opposition.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Think Sparrow did enough to start again. Expecting the same line up as Hull with an outside chance of Hoskins starting ahead of Barnes. Would prefer to have Vincelot starting ahead of Dicker myself though

[middletoenail]

Calderon - Dunk - Greer - Painter
Noone - Bridcutt - Vincelot - LuaLua
- Vicente -
- CMS -​

 

[Commander]

Which is which one as he has a very good left foot but spent alot of time on the right cutting inside.

Probably the left one seeing as he has played 150 odd times for Valencia and 38 times for Spain there.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

I would like to see

Ankergren
Calderon Greer Dunk Painter
Bridcutt
Noone Vincelot
Vicente CMS Hoskins

I think it will be

Ankergren
Calderon Greer Dunk Painter
Bridcutt Sparrow Dicker
Vicente
CMS Hoskins

Let's go for it and take the 'we'll score more than you' approach

- - - - - - - -Ankergren

- - - - - - - Greer - Dunk

- - - - - - - - Bridcutt

Buckley - - - Noone - - - - Lualua

- - - - - - - -Vicente

- Barnes - Mackail-Smith - Hoskins

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Ideally Id want:

Casper
Calde Greer Dunk Painter (as we have no choice here)
Bridcutt Vince (maybe Dicker)
Noone Vicente Lua Lua
CMS

..... with two strikers on the bench if we are not scoring

Waiting to be flamed.

 

[Napper]

We've shipped goals left right and centre. We have struggled with the physical side at times. Saturday saw us set up to be solid first and foremost. Would be a massive mistake to deviate from that against a very physical side.

Same team but make changes earlier if required

I refer you to the answer provided by Commander some moments ago.

Is Buckley fit??

 

[folkestonesgull]

i'd go for a counter attacking pacy style in this formation, with the 3 behind CMS swapping positions and generally causing MAYHEM.

Casper
calde, greer, dunk, painter,
bridcutt, dicker
Noone Vicente Hoskins
CMS

Bench
Brez
vincelot
sparrow
lualua
barnes
