PLAY-OFF PLAN

[Cityfullergoals]

If we dont get automatic promotion, which in my eyes is now a considerable doubt consider this:

1 - We cannot defend (we have the worst record of goals conceded among the top sides)

2 - We can attack (we have scored more goals than all except Brazil)

3 - Attack is the best form of defence

SO WHY NOT GO FOR IT IN THE PLAY OFFS BIG STYLE INSTEAD OF HOPING TO SCORE FIRST AND HANG ON FOR THE WIN

AT LEAST WE COULD ALL SAY WE WENT FOR IT

My team:

NASH

DICKO SHAWCROSS RIGGOTT DELAP

LAWRENCE WHELAN PEARSON

SIDIBE

AMEOBI FULLER

That way, we have an overlapping full back in Dicko to get more crosses in, we still have Rorys bombers, we have Sidibe in a free role where he can pick up the loose stuff, and cause havoc at corners and throw ins, and have a quality strike partnership

The way we are playing with Pugh and Griffin at the back, we are liable to concede especially against the better attacking sides, so throw Rory in at full back and utilise the strikers better, and let Whelan do the holding role, and drop back when we have throw ins


OR AM I JUST CRAZY ;D

[dadofsam]

Cort needs to be in our attack, attack, attack side - and what about Gally or Bothroyd instead of mama?

[Deleted]

you have a left-back at right back and a centre-midfielder at left-back. Don't give up your day job.....

[Cityfullergoals]

To dadofsam

That would give us six loan players

[Cityfullergoals]

To prestwichpotter:

I had Rory at right back and Dicko at left back in my head

Its just how I typed it out mate

Anyway, Delap at right back would give us a good tackler, with extra height in defence at set pieces, and as I said, Griff is not doing the job anyway, so it would be a way of keeping Rory in the side for his throw ins

[Stephen Frys' Ring]

Try this for size:

Nash

Cort Riggott Shawcross

Lawrence Whelan Diao Pearson

Bothroyd Ameobi Fuller

It'll never happen,we know,but boy it would be fun ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;
