bizarre @bfc_official: Reds team to face Forest: Pollitt, Ramage, Kennedy, O'Brien, Dawson, O'Grady, Perkins, Wiseman, Jennings, M'voto, Etuhu. @bfc_official: Subs: Steele, Cranie, Scotland, Dagnall, Cywka, Mellis, Noble-Lazarus.
Big Noble-Lazarus, then drop him. Start Jennings after virtually ignoring him. Starting Mvoto instead of Cranie. barmy.
Looks to me like a 4-5-1 Politt Wiseman Ramage M'Voto Kennedy O'Brien Dawson Etuhu Perkins Jennings O'Grady Looks decent to me, I'm presuming Cranie isn't fully fit. RNL isn't a full back and it will be good to see how Jennings does.
Pollitt Wiseman Ramage M'Voto Kennedy O'Brien Dawson Etuhu Perkins Jennings O'Grady 451 for the first time? Funny because I told that Forest fan on here that we'll defo line up with 2 strikers... Unless Jennings is playing up front.
Mvoto is solid and what we need I assume its a back 4, maybe 4-3-3 as Jennings won't be a wing back. Bit would expect to fit Crainie in somewhere. Wiseman won't play cb in front of Crainie. But can only see O'Brien playing on the right of 4-3-3 or a 4-5-1 But strange O'Brien over Cykwa or Mellis.
or 3-5-1-1 with Jennings in behind COG...which ever it is, looks like we'll be packing the mid-field and hitting em on the brake....decent side tho...
I don't think it can be 3-5-2 because we're not playing a LWB. If it was 4-4-2 it would mean playing Dawson on the left. Must be 4-5-1.
The bench looks strong as well. Plenty of fire-power with Cwyka, RNL and Scotland. Creativity with Mellis, good defensive cover with Cranie and a 'run around a lot' striker in Dagnall. + Steele lol Feeling optimistic
Hmm, bit harsh but I think if we are playing 3 central midfielders I would have been tempted to pop Mellis in there from the start instead of Dawson.
