As much as Im always excited to see a new player get straight into the team and straight at the opposition, especially when its a tall type of striker who we've been chasing for some time. I think we're being a bit harsh on Thiam there because he simply hasnt been given the chances that other players have undeservedly got.
Let's have a go - we played them off the park at Molineux despite the result: Davies Cavare Pinnock Lindsay Fryers Isgrove Mallan Gardner Thiam Moore Bradshaw
Not having enough players good enough often enough will take us down. Formations are irrelevant in this sense
It’s a tricky one we have been better with 4-5-1 but surely if we are going to play Moore we want to play someone alongside him, and Bradders is the obvious choice I think we may start 4-5-1 and plan to switch second half. Also Moncur looks a lot better coming off the bench when he only has to play 30 minutes. Don’t know what Hecky will do but if I was to guess Davis Cavare Pinnock Lindsay Fryers Gardner Hammill Potts Mallan Isgrove Moore And plan to bring on Bradders Thiam and Moncur for Mallan Potts and one of Hammill Issy as the game progresses. Though he may start Bradshaw and bring Moore on
I think McCarthy has been inconsistent. He's shown glimpses and to be fair to him, has been largely in and out of the team so can't really put together much consistency. I just don't rate Fryers at all. He backs off far too much, his passing is poor and doesn't make up for it with his attributes going forwards in my opinion. His set pieces aren't great either, they're largely floated in, or when they're not, they hit the first man. His set piece taking (not his all round game because he isn't that bad) is very similar to a certain left full back we had last time we were in this division.
Well theres arguments on either side there Castro, and I think formations obviously do count. You play to your strengths dont you, and none of us really know what they are even after all this time.
