Kingsbridge Saint Posted 2 November, 2012 Share Posted 2 November, 2012 This is a very winnable game. They've had a dolly up start and are punching well above their weight. We've had a tough start and have a lot more to offer than many on here think. Hope we really stuff the Pompey loving tea baggers. Might be a game to improve the goal difference a bit too, as their defence isn't up to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted 2 November, 2012 Share Posted 2 November, 2012 While I think we'll lose this, I still don't think Adkins will be sacked. Somehow I get the feeling that NC will stay resolute to spite the journo's and other detractors. If that's the case, it's a pretty significant turning point in the club's more recent history in relation to strategy and for me, even though it's not a nice feeling losing game after game, that alone has to be applauded.

Gambol2K9 Posted 2 November, 2012 Share Posted 2 November, 2012 I'd start with: Gazza Clyne Yoshida Fonte Fox Lallana Schneiderlein Davis Cork Ramirez Lambert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 2 November, 2012 Share Posted 2 November, 2012 I just worry that if we start with 3 defensive midfielders, then they'll just be a huge gap between them and the striker, whether thats Rickie or J-Rod. All 3 of them like to play just infront of the back 4, which is fine, but we can't let our striker become isolated or we'll have no out ball.

up and away Posted 2 November, 2012 Share Posted 2 November, 2012 We have recognise that we are a poor side that will leak goals. If Ramirez is playing, we at least have some form of chance. -----------Gazzaniga------------ Clyne---Fonte---Yoshida---ABFox Cork---Morgan--Ramirez--Davis--Lallana ---------------Mayuka--------------- I don't see much in the goalies, but Gazzaniga could easily put Mayuka in on goal. Over loading the midfield should give us some control and defensive ability but expect a lot from Lallana, Ramirez and Mayuka to do something at the other end. Even if this was employed and was hanging on, I would fully expect Adkins to blink first and open us up by committing further forward. I expect the effect of having Ramirez back will be such that Adkins believes we can take it to teams. We can''t, just not good enough even with Ramirez and it will be the same old story.

No it wasn't, Davis has been good for us, not incredible, but pretty solid and barely gives the ball away. If you sat and watched him you'd appreciate him much more.

Tom28 Posted 2 November, 2012 Share Posted 2 November, 2012 I took from the interview that Gaston would play but Cork may only make the bench.

If you sat and watched him you'd appreciate him much more. Yep! Davis is that player I am still ecstatic we signed, the one player I really wanted from Rangers falling apart like a house of damp cards. His only disappointment is he hasn't scored that many, which is the same as Cork last year really. Other than that he has been a key player and an essential part to our midfield this season. If Ramirez is back this will probably be about right. May be Puncheon instead of Rodriguez though. Nope no more Puncheon never! Hopefully Adkins sees he is useless and relegates him to the reserves where he belongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Garrett Posted 3 November, 2012 Share Posted 3 November, 2012 I would rather we didn't play 4-2-3-1. Too many gaps behind the full-backs for the opposition to exploit. It doesn't make the most of Lallana's considerable attacking talents. Play 3 out and out solid midfielders in front of the back 4. Cork, Morgan and Davis, all ball-winners, all decent passers. If Cork isn't ready for 90 mins, let him share the game time with JWP. We're leaking 3 a game, the defence needs help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cork isn't ready for 90 mins, let him share the game time with JWP. We're leaking 3 a game, the defence needs help. With Ramirez back, the number 10 role is as good as his. If he's ready to start, bring him in and put Lallana back out wide. We're not going to become solid defensively in the next 48 hours, so we need to score goals. Whether it's Ramirez or Lallana, we need someone between the lines to link Central midfield with the front 3. With a tight 3, there's a risk of it going flat and not going anywhere with the ball. Then we give the ball away and leak goals. We're not going to sort ourselves out defensively by packing the team full of defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted 3 November, 2012 Share Posted 3 November, 2012 One thing Davis isn't is a ball winner. Midfield 3 of Cork and Schneiderlin to sit and hold - protecting the centre backs and full backs - with Lallana to carry the ball forward and run at the opposition for me Then Mayuka on the right to add some much needed pace out wide and Ramirez on the left with Rodriguez up front for his pace and movement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
