PB more signing

[davew]

post match PB stated will need 2-3 more signings. not sure all clubs want more but at the mo squad looks q good, obviously if Bentley goes they can spend a bit, otherwise poss a few loan signings.

Thoughts

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

He's still trying to get a high scoring centre forward type on a permanent deal. Listening to the game against Fleetwood, it's what we were crying out for. It would also bring the best out of Mooney as everyone knows he can't play the lone striker role.
Loan players will be defenders if anything.

 

[Jay_SUFC]

We need defenders more than anything, don't have enough cover in that area at all

 

[blueshrimper8]

Still got my fingers crossed that we get McLeod I think he would be a great addition, and a couple of defenders would have all the makings of a good squad for me. keeping hold of Bentley would be big even if it is just till January.

It doesn't matter what striker you get in, if you don't play 442 then Mooney or whatever striker we have will have to play the lone striker role

But we do play 4-4-2!! Occasionally Brown has mixed it up, but on the whole since January we have been playing this

Wish people would stop banging on about IF we play 4-4-2

What formation did we play yesterday out of interest?

Looked like a 4-4-2 with Weston as a striker, as it happens.

Thanks. My original post was in reply to TSNB who said Mooney can't play the lone striker role. That role only really exists in a 451 or possibly 433 using 2 high wingers

That's just it, Weston isn't a striker! :facepalm:

 

[Jam_Man]

Brown confirmed it was 442.

Weston is better out wide in my book, but for those wanting a pacy forward he is certainly that so makes some sense to try him there again.

With Hunt and Pigott I cant imagine he will play there often.

He isn't but he was one of the best players on the pitch yesterday.

442

We have Mooney Hunt and Piggy,any two from those three constitutes as playing proper 442.

and Weston. maybe not the best but he can stretch teams and does put a shift in

but hé has Pace and can unlock defenses

 

[Firestorm]

Weston played with Mooney in a 442, he looked sharp, and with a bit more time to learn about each other could we work alongside Mooney, Hunt or Pigot.
It may well have been fatigue, but he did not cause as many problems when playing wide.

Yesterday we didnt attack crosses very well and look far more effective with the ball into Westons feet centrally with him either spinning off, or feeding Mooney

Agree with this. If you look back to the last 10 games of last season and then pre season, Weston deserved his shot to start (in whatever position, I prefer him out on the wing but he can be a striker too). I think it was a brave decision from Brown so fair play.

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

So if he plays he should be out wide so then he can find the two strikers in the box instead of just the one when he's supposedly up front.

Or like in both playoff games he used his pace to be a pain to both centre halves

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

But as Paul Clark said you need your strikers to score but Weston won't do that
