SFC Forever Posted 26 February, 2010 Share Posted 26 February, 2010 Is Adam left footed or a player that can use both with ease. He has always struck me as a player that with time could fullfill his promise in central midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersonic Posted 26 February, 2010 Author Share Posted 26 February, 2010 Davis Ostemebor - Jaidi - Fonte - Harding Lallana - Morgan - Hammond - Puncheon Waigo - Lambert If Schneiderlin isn't fit I'd replace him with Wotton and go 4-5-1 with Puncheon through the middle and Lallana / Waigo outwide. If James is fit i'd stick him right back. That's the team I'd go with. Personally, I think Papa looks like our most exciting forward player, he looked it against MKDons and when he came on against Wycombe he looked alot better than Barnard did in that game.

He has always struck me as a player that with time could fullfill his promise in central midfield. right footed i think, he could probably play in AMC higher up the leagues, but i would never play him in the middle in this division. He'd get gobbled up tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 26 February, 2010 Share Posted 26 February, 2010 If that's the team it would be better to have... - -------Morgan - Hammond - ------ Waigo---------Lallana--------Puncheon -------------- Lambert--------------- So everyone is in their best position. Effectively 4-3-3 or 4-2-4. Basically the team that would have started against Exeter (away) had Morgan been fit (the only other difference was that Puncheon and Lallana swapped positions). Didn't do us much good that day mind you. Still think if you play Papa, it has to be up top and down the middle, not on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 26 February, 2010 Share Posted 26 February, 2010 I'm hoping it'll be 2-0 whatever team we put out but my team would be... Davis Semi Fonte Jaidi Harding Hammond Morgan Waigo Lallana Punch Lambert Subs: Bart, Seaborne (or Thomas if not), Mills, Wotton, Antonio, Barnard, Holmes.

SamKimish Posted 26 February, 2010 Share Posted 26 February, 2010 If a promising player doesn't score for a while or has a dip in form we should write them off completely, put them in the reserves then cheaply sell them off. It's clearly the best way to run a club. Agreed, I mean it worked so well with all the ex-saints currently plying their trade in higher divisions thatn us Some people eh?

Clifford Nelson Posted 26 February, 2010 Share Posted 26 February, 2010 Waigo did very well on the right of a 4-3-3/4-5-1, a system he is very used to from Italy, but he isn't a winger for a 4-4-2 system. Adam Lallana if a very good player, but he isn't a striker, nor a CM, nor is he the dominant type like Tiss in his pomp who could be given a free role in the middle of the park and use it as a magician. On the left, or right, would be a good idea, and then to keep him there, but then you have to have a proper winger on the other side to provide width at all times. If that width is not there, the CMs haven't got an outlet, they have to knock it forward (head of Lambo) or back to the CBs who will knock it forward (head of Lambo again) or play a careful ball to the fullback. Derry has pointed this out and in my opinion his analysis is right. To try to squeeze Lallana into the team with both Puncheon and Antonio as wide players makes us inconsequential in CM. With the players we have, and not least Lallana, we had the material for 4-5-1, which they proved, but that is now history. If the manager hasn't got the confidence for it, which patently he hasn't, the players won't have it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the manager hasn't got the confidence for it, which patently he hasn't, the players won't have it either. I think we have reached the stage where just shuffling the pack week after week doesn't cut it. Pardew has to decide which 11 players give him the best balanced team which in my opinion isn't the best 11 players. He also has to stop tucking the wide players in, because it has been the basic problem all season. As leopards don't change their spots I can't see that happening. He talks a good game but his team set up and selections don't match up. I think Pardew is a two trick pony a thin 4-5-1 or an even thinner 4-4-2. I am sure he is aware that he is on borrowed time but his inbuilt pragmatism and inhibition, despite saying we have to take risks, will be his undoing. I think we are capable, whatever the formation we play, of winning quite a few games and not losing many, but still not doing enough or regularly playing the sort of football that will convince the owners.

Charlie Wayman Posted 26 February, 2010 Share Posted 26 February, 2010 Can you believe the crap that is coming out of SMS these days. According to The Echo tonight Pardew thinks we can still make the play-offs if we get 6 points in the next two home games and carry on winning. He's even got Hammond parroting his masters voice now with the extra emphasis that we've got "to win all our games" and we need 70-odd points usually to get inot the play-offs. Strewth! What ARE these people on? We told them to get their fingers out weeks ago when there was still a vague hope we might make it.

But we can make the play-offs, just as they say, but we will need to win 14 out of 16 and get 2 draws, so there's no margin for error. How likely that is would be something else.

Yes just looked at the Table all of the top 6 look like getting over 80 As you said somewhere else we we would have to win at least fourteen of the last sixteen games and hopefully draw the other two to have any chance of getting to the play offs which would mean an unbeaten leauge run of over twenty games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
