Clee Town friendly

Quoted from diehardmariner

Hanson and Green worked well together and I'm very keen to see how we fit Wright into that equation with them.  

This will be very interesting. Going on what was said here in the first half we did not use wingers as such but used the full backs to push forward (especially the trialist on the left)  to get the ball in the box. Using a 4 - 3 - 1 - 2 with Ogbu in the whole behind Hanson and Green.

If Wright is going to start you would think it would be in a 4 - 3 - 3/ 4 - 5 - 1 with 1 forward up top, probably Hanson. Bit of a dilema for Jolley as if he wants to play three centre mids (which he mostly does) it is hard to envisage how he keeps two up front and players wingers.

Could we see Wright being used as a sub to begin with to change the game plan if needed? Starting with the 4 - 3 - 1 - 2 and attacking full backs if that is not working, second half switch it up and go 4 - 3 - 3.

Obviously will be interesting to see what formation Jolley goes with against Donny and Peterborough rather than Clee. But I do not think we signed Hanson and Green for one of then to be a bench warmer. But if Wright continues to have an excellent pre-season this could really give Jolley food for thought.

Interesting times ahead in any regard.

Where does all this leave Vernam, Cook and Cardwell?

Same place as they were on Saturday I suspect!

EDIT:

I have now listened to Jolley's post match interview and he more or less says they were not fit. Did not directly say they were injured, but we did not want to risk them. So I guess we would have seen them on Saturday but for injury/fitness.

Didn't Vernam have problems with shin splints last season? Might be trying to ease him in slowly with that in mind. Or am I just imagining that?

That does ring a bell, possibly an ongoing issue for him. Hopefully he will be included in the squad tomorrow night.

4-3-3 might be an option. Ogbu, Wright and Vernam are all capable of operating wide of a target man I would think. Green has been played in those positions as well although my Lincoln supporting mates reckon he's better through the middle. At least we have options this season! Last season we were very, very limited and had no way of changing it up really.

I think this would work very well with Hanson as the target man. Certainly on paper we seem far more threatening going forward with Green, Hanson, Ogbu and Wright now in the mix. The you add in Cook, Vernam and Rose plenty of competition for places up front.
