Title: best midfield 4 Post by: adje on Thursday, February 9, 2006, 18:57:30 With everyone available what would you go for as a midfield 4 in a 4-4-2 situation?Personally; Shakes,CCP,Migz,Browny.Strong case for Paul Smith on current form though.

Title: best midfield 4 Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, February 9, 2006, 19:27:30 I know its nothing to do with the title....but I couldn't help of thinking of one of my all time favourite 4's......Ross MacClaren sweeping in front of the back 4 Tom Jones and Stigger Foley, doing the central midfield in a narrow way but leaving space for Kerslake and Bodin to join in, and Alan Mac at the point of the diamond scoring goals.
It was season 89/90, when they played some 20 odd games together continuously, we lost 1 or 2, when Stigger got injured Fitzroy Simpson could come in as squad player.we off course reached and won the PO for top flight.

Agree with you 100% on that Reg, still got great memories from that season apart from the end bit.

In midfield there was only what was on the pitch, Fitz and Stumpy Barnard. Past that we were relying on Ossie and Tony Galvin to turn out their creaking bones. Shame we sold The Terminator the season after as we could still have used him then (but from what I remember he got on the coach for an away game still pissed as a fart, so what could you do). In fact throughout the Ardiles and Hoddle years we rarely had much squad depth. Even if there'd been such a thing as a Web Forum back then, the sort of discussion that's in this thread would have been almost a complete irrelevance.

We had Dave Hockaday still around and John Cornwell, both who could turn a hand to midfield I suppose Title: best midfield 4 Post by: Tails on Thursday, February 9, 2006, 21:10:58 Shakes Migz Smith Brown
CCP and Gurney close by. Nice to have choice. Title: best midfield 4 Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Thursday, February 9, 2006, 21:24:03 shakes migs smith brown. simple. seems to be the favourite choice among others too
Title: best midfield 4 Post by: Stef Troll on Thursday, February 9, 2006, 21:33:54 If all fully fit i would probably be inclined to play a 4-3-1-2 formation
ccp, migs, whalley Shakes whalley i think is a class player, but due to injuries etc, we havent seen the best of him. Him and Migs could be an awesome midfield if all fully fit (demonstated in the port vale game) Title: best midfield 4 Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Thursday, February 9, 2006, 21:36:29 whalley ok he's been added to my shit list (village take note)
Title: best midfield 4 Post by: reeves4england on Thursday, February 9, 2006, 21:37:48 I would keep Shakes out wide. He has the pace to be a good outlet and has shown the ability to play good balls into the box recently. Plus with his pace he is often able to cut inside and shoot which I think makes the 4-3-1-2 a pointless move
Title: best midfield 4 Post by: Reeves for King on Thursday, February 9, 2006, 21:47:45 Well the wingers pretty much sort themselves out: Shakes and Brown.
In the centre I would probably go for Migs and Comyn Platt, as Comyn PLatt naturally sits back (as he is a centre-half) so gives Migs the license to go forward. Smith played well on Saturday though, while Gurney always gives 100%.

For me it's a toss-up between Gurney and P.Smith, I wouldn't even consider CCP for midfield. Other than his goal last Saturday I thought he was a yard off the pace and his positioning was dodgy. I like Gurney a lot in midfield when he's on his game, though I have to agree he was shocking on Saturday, although did break the game up and his "professionalism" can be an asset, if frustrating. Paul Smith looked awesome vs. Doncaster and cannot be dropped on his current form. |
