Don't think Monkhouse has the legs to play that role. I'd play Monky, gives us a different option plus he looks a better player with Horwood behind him.

Agree with Ascend. It's been the best team over the course of the season. UTM


Results would suggest otherwise..

The OP will be the side and if we play our best football, it should be enough to take a good lead to Braintree.

But.. They will play 4-5-1 against our 4-4-2. Immediately we give up numerical advantage in the centre of midfield. It creates the same old problem that if we are not at our best, a park the bus side will find it easy against us. We will have to be at our best out wide to give them something to think about or play it early and long to Bogle and Amond in the hope that they create something between themselves. Playing through central midfield will not be an option.

I always wonder with these threads whether 99% of posters always pick a 4-4-2 because our manager has for five years or that is their formation of choice.

I would pull a rabbit out of the hat if I were Hurst and play a 4-3-1-2. Match them up in centre midfield so we can play through there and have Arnold floating about in areas their defenders won't want to go into, and then he would get back behind the ball when we're defending. When defending, the front two cut each of their full backs off, to force them to play from centre half into our midfield three or have to knock it long to their one up front marked by our two monster centre halves. We've got two full backs that like to get forward and with having three in centre midfield one of Disley or Clay would hold to give them that licence.

McKeown

Tait
Nsiala
Gowling
Horwood

Clay
Disley
Nolan

Arnold

Bogle
Amond

That's what I would play but Monkhouse will always be on a Hurst 4-4-2 team sheet.

On another note, at Braintree this season, we drew 0-0 but they did tire for the last twenty minutes and we could have easily scored one or two in that time. It's important for us to trust that our fitness is superior and play a high tempo game from the start. If we can nick an early goal and add another by half time, I seriously can see them conceding more as they will have to try and score themselves.


They could play 4 - 1 - 4 - 1 as playing against that has caused us real problems before.

We will play 4 - 4 - 2 I would safely bet my house and pension on it.

Get the ball down switch play quickly get the partnerships working on the flanks and Omar, Nolan and Arnold running at them and we will win.

Try going with the ball from deep in the air and we will fail, if he pick Hoban to start I am going to the pub.

Yeah, why is Monkhouse starting against a team that will park the bus at BP? We need pace against these, not predictable tonks up the left channel.


Quelle surprise.......
