My Way Forward 3-5-2 and View

[For Fox Sake]

Hi,
I am a trained coach and football manager and I have been a fan of LCFC all my life, however with the current squad we have I believe we are best suited to a 3-5-2 formation...


GK Fulop
DF N'Gotty (Experience)
DF Kisnorbo
DF McAuley

DM Clemence
WB Kaebi
WB Sheehan

MF Wesolowski (When Fit!)
AM Hume

FW Fryatt (Give the lad a few games)
FW De Vires (Target Man)

Anyone with sense would thought when we are signing these free transfers
"Why is this lad a free transfer if the other club does not want to keep him"

Thanks

Matt

I will try and write a few match analysis reports for people on here

Lot's of people reckon Kaebi ought to be given a chance. Is this based on known facts or just gut feel?

 

[For Fox Sake]

turn the question around...who would you have on Right Wing Back...

for me i choose him because of his pace nothing else

 

[Profondo Rosso]

De Vries has had chance after chance and never taken them. There's no WAY he deserves his place in the side.m Target Man or no target man, he doesn't deserve to be there IMO

Other than that, i think it could be a good line-up, we could certiantly give something other than 4-4-2 a chance for a change

 

[For Fox Sake]

thats the problem...do we have another target man at the club?

Carl Cort by rights ought to be the one, but so far not.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

No, well Cort, but he looks past it to me. Fryatt and Cambpell aren't exactly small though, i'm sure they could get header's in.

I've always thought the idea of having a 'target man' or a 'big number 9 up front' isn't all that tbh. Managers spend a lot of time trying to find a perfect big-man, samll-man partnership sometimes, when 2 small men or 2 big men could work a lot better up front together. You're the couch though, i know nothing baout these things, it's just how i see it personally :/

Edit: Sorry that all sounded a bit patronising reading it back, all i meant was, i've never understood why managers put so much into having a big target man and a small fast man as a strike partership, rather than just having 2 strikers of any height/speed, surely it's only their finishing and composure that should matter.

I'm not saying we necessarily have better, just that Kaebi hasn't been given the chance yet to prove he is up to the job.

MON always liked the big man / little man combo and it worked for us then. The problem with two small blokes is that we would then have to start playing the ball through midfield rather than just hoofing it up. Thing is, when fit, we do actually have a decent midfield (albeit nobody yet has properly filled the holding role) so why oh why don't we play through them all the time.

Well, it does depend between each manager, but I get my team to use big man small man, as I always feel the big man can take one of opposite defenders out of the game and open space up for small man (if you get me) but in the past i have used two small men BUT the service into them has to be spot on

Agreed, we looked a lot better when we played it along the ground a la Watford.

Exactly. This is where I feel we fall a little short. Strange because on paper at least we have the class in midfield to be able to do this.

I see where you're coming from, but i just feel managers can get too hung up on getting that partnership, rather than just picking 2 players up front together who'll score goals, which is why (as far as i can recall) Hume and Campbell haven't played up front together, when they are arguably our best strikers

The trained football coaches can argue as much as they like but it only takes the average football fan to see that the problem that we have is one of lack of passion/effort and susceptibility to basic mistakes. That being so, our greatest need is for a motivator, not a tactician.

I really look forward to For Fox Sake's match analysis reports - how patronising is that? - although I am sure that the view of 'the-man-on-the-terrace' that they are just a bunch of lazy ****tards is much more enlightening and useful.

 

[Hazzman]

Lot's of people reckon Kaebi ought to be given a chance. Is this based on known facts or just gut feel?

He's genuinely a very good player - I can't explain why we aren't playing him.

and susceptibility to basic mistakes. That being so, our greatest need is for a motivator, not a tactician.

Look now further than TBFC's manager - he's also got 1 win all season
