Sheffield Wednesday Build Up


St Chalet

Recommended Posts

It seems we have reverted from the 4-5-1 that we started the season with and moved to a move 4-4-1-1 v Villa so wouldn't be surprised to see us stick with that and get some more practice with it.

 

Expecting something along the lines of...

 

                     Boruc



Butterfield    Stephens     Seaborne      Shaw



               Cork        JWP


Chaplow                                 Mayuka


                    Guly



                  Rodriguez

Shaw deffo needs to play i would also start JWP Chappers Cork Mayuka Lee Rodriquez let them get some playing time i actually like the league cup its a winnable trophy as loads of teams don't take it serious unless they make the QFs, however this season its about staying up and i would rather use this game as match practise for them lads, as i know the ones i have mentioned can play a big part in the prem for us.

SDR is the forgotten man, but quite simply, he's not up to it which is why he's not been involved.

 

Would expect Cork to be on the bench, and get a 30min or so run out. Would expect the likes of Rodriguez, Mayuka, Seaborne etc to get starts.

 

He knows it too. His tweets yesterday basically said so. good luck lads. I think that Friday!

Think we'll put out a much stronger team than that, wouldn't be at all surprised if it's not practically the first team.

I would let Gazzaniga have another game personally but letting Boruc get some match practice could help him.

 

Team:

 

----------------- Rodriguez ------------------

 

Mayuka ----------------------------- Do Prado

 

----------------- Chaplow --------------------

 

------- Ward-Prowse ------- Cork -------------

 

 

Shaw ------ Fonte ----- Seaborne -- Richardson

 

 

--------------- Boruc/Gazza -------------------

This game won't have a particularly high intensity. For them it's a distraction from a punishing league campaign and for us it's mainly a chance to flex the squad's muscles. Our players are unlikely to get overly exhausted or pick up silly injuries. I'd use this to run in the new players and give a few fringe players a chance to impress. I don't see the point in playing squad players purely for the sake of it. The likes of Chaplow and De Ridder aren't in our plans and if nobody wants them, we'll probably release them at the end of their contracts. Wednesday are a Championship side and I wouldn't feel comfortable putting out a side that we wouldn't have felt comfortable with in the league last season. We need to take it seriously to make sure of progressing.

Would like to see this v Wednesday

 

If this was a Championship game vs Sheffield Wednesday, would you be happy with that defence? Okay to play something like that vs Stevenage in the previous round, but I think we'd need to put out a stronger back four against Sheffield Wednesday.

 

In any case, Jack Stephens is with the England under 19 squad and isn't available.

I'd put Hooiveld in if he weren't injured, and I wouldnt start with players who we want to start on Saturday ie richardson, clyne, yoshi and is this cup hugely important? Focus more on league and Fa cup when it comes around

Might be a bit soon to play Boruc if he hasn't been playing at all this season - would prefer to give KD a game. No point in chucking the game away and alienating the fans against Boruc (Saints fans fickle?....never...) if his game is a bit rusty. I'd be worried about playing either of Fonte and Yoshida if Jos isn't going to be fit for Saturday. Maybe stick with Seabourne but not sure about the other CB - maybe Butterfield or Cork? I think we are a bit stretched for defensive cover at the moment. Who are the regulars for the U21's? Midfield and upfront we have plenty of options. I'll be surprised if more than 2 or 3 of Saturdays game start the match, but that we'll have some experience on the bench. It's not that I think Wednesday will be an easy game (even though their start to the season has not been much better than ours), it's just that number one priority is Premier League at this stage.

Play Kelvin. Give him a chance to respond to Saturday. I think Boruc will be on the bench. It has never been Adkins style to shove a player straight into the starting line up unless absolutely necessary. Boruc will be on the bench maybe?

 

And play Rodreguez as well in a proper centre forward position. Starting to worry he won't get a chance in a game (in his actual position).

There might be some clues tonight as the development squad are playing spurs at staplewood so anyone who plays in that won't feature.

 

Wonder if Dave Jones will get a good reception ?

 

Any news on ticket sales ? We'll be lucky to get more than 10k I think.

I think you need to check the rule book as to how many players can play sunshine.

Why would you start Gazza?

 

Keepers benefit from game time. Might help to sharpen him up a bit apart from saturday he has only played one game this season. I doubt he is knackered apart from pulling the ball out of the net once he didn't have much to do on saturday. Boruc has only been here 2 miniutes might be to early to throw him in and Kelvin could do a job but it might be better to get Gazza match sharp.

If keepers benefit from, game time.. Surely it makes sense to give boruc the start

Possibly but we don't tend to throw our new signings straight in Nigel seems to like to intergrate them into the team over a couple of weeks unless injuries force him to do otherwise. So I'm guessing Boruc won't go straight into the side and Gazza will be prefered to kelvin over the next couple of weeks ....just a guess though

Ah my bad, It was early !! :blush:

 

Would start Gazza as I think he'll benefit from match time, and he didn't have to do a lot on Saturday. Take out Chaplow out that 12, and you have the team for me.
