Sorry where does it say Henry as attacking then? Barton links the play up well between defence and midfield which is why I put it up like that

Originally posted by Tarbie View PostSWP gets nowhere near the first team for me, better having Henry in the team to do the ugly stuff and give Joey a bit more license to attack.
As for Dunne, agree that dropping him is harsh but Assou-Ekotto has to play for me. Hill has done well at Left Back but he is getting too old and immobile to play there, even he admits that, I don't think we should push our luck playing him there against a decent side like Birmingham. Dunne played 90 minutes for Republic last night and may well play again midweek, the obvious choice is to shift Hill to Centre Half and put Dunne on the bench!
I like your comment about Hill and a 'decent side like Birmingham'. Hill has been outstanding at left back away against two teams far better than Birmingham.

Not sure tbh. A fairly safe 442 with minimal changes would be:
---------------Green----------
Simpson---Onuoha--Dunne---BAE
Carroll---Barton----Henry--Hoilett
-----------Austin--AJ------------
ie same formation with two changes - bring in the specialist LB Ekotto for Hill and start Carroll in RM ahead of SWP. So everyone does what they have been doing all season and the only changes are a couple of upgrades and Carroll would be able to drift as Barton could cover that and so he gets a low pressure intro to the team. I don't think this is how the team will end up playing most of the time but it is pretty much 'play it again sam' which you often see.
A higher risk option that I like the look of though would be:
-------------------Green-------------------
Simpson---Onuoha--Dunne---BAE
Kranjcar---Barton----Henry--Hoilett
------------------Carroll---------------------
-----------------Austin----------------------
Pushing Carroll to a free #10 slot with Phillip on for Kranjcar so he only needs to last an hour.
Good to have so many options.

Why change a winning team last time I looked we won 4 and drew 1!!
It's a long season and the new boys will get there chance.
All 4 players that have come in will improve us and as a squad there is no one better in the division.
By Christmas will be 4-5-1 with goals coming from midfield I expect 15 between hoillett Phillips and nico
