5-3-2 without the ball, 3-5-2 with the ball. Two lads at wing back with bags of energy to get back and forward all day, Westwood and brownhill to be a shield to the CB three and McNeil to support the front two. Pace up front to get in behind to avoid a situation like against Norwich where we are allowing championship defenders to do the one thing they are good at and win headers.
Saying all that if we don’t play 4-4-2 and start with Wood up top I’ll show my backside to the Vatican.

Re: Your starting eleven for Brentford
Woodley, please stop putting players into positions they would be terrible at!
Please!
I think you'd have to play the team that took on Southampton, simply because we scored twice and came back from 2-1 down
It doesn't really matter which of our four strikers we play based on last night, they are all woefully out of form, so it makes no sense to play two of them

If we’re lucky we might get Vydra instead of JBG. I ain’t complaining though, that’s probably our best team.
Come on, we can win this.

I’m still convinced that Vydra and Wood are our best 2 forwards when they find their form, with Cornet in close support.
Westwood and Pieters must work hard to cover left midfield for Cornet when he is attacking. Not ideal but still our best offensive formation imo.

I get the comments from others about JRod and Barnes, who are going downhill so rapidly it’s scary. But what has happened to Wood is baffling. He has not provided a single thing all season. Gets knocked off the ball so easily, hold up play zero, shots zero, runs zero, winning headers zero.
That cross from Cornet was a strikers dream. 90% of forwards I’ve played with from Burnley and Pendle League and up would have been “put it near post, thanks, diving header, bosh”.
What’s he even thinking at the moment it’s absolutely baffling.

Re: Your starting eleven for Brentford
Playing Collins in front of the back 4 frees the fullbacks to push higher up the pitch, run the overlaps, without weakening the defence.fidelcastro wrote: ↑Thu Oct 28, 2021 9:45 amSo that's Pieters and now Collins playing midfield

If Lowts goes forward Collins drops back into the back 4, Tarks covers Lowts at RB. If Pieters pushes forward, Collins drops back and Mee covers LB. It's a simple way to keep our shape, without leaving ourselves open for any counters. A midfield consisting of Cornet, McNeil and Brownhill, with Pieters or Lowts/Roberts running overlaps would be able to pass and move a lot quicker than the present midfield. If SD would only pick Vydra we'd have a pacy outlet to pass the ball to, rather than lump it aimlessly.
I'll say again, I think we have a good team within the squad, we've just never played it.

Re: Your starting eleven for Brentford
For me the final position is between JBG and Vydra.
If Vydra plays, you play 4-4-2 with Cornet and McNeil wide. If JBG plays, you play McNeil as a 10 with a brief to interchange with Cornet(and even, on occasion, Brownhill) and help us make stuff happen.
Either way, the other striker is Wood, because in this sort of situation you have to back your best players. But around him we need to add a bit more depth and movement to our attacking play - especially against a team who will play 3 at the back like Norwich did, and be delighted to find two static strikers playing ahead of the ball and up against 2 of those 3 centre backs - as Norwich were.
Vydra givse us an angle by gettting outside the 3 centre backs, and McNeil gives us more quality on the ball, and the scope to get runners from deep, to disrupt the 3 centre backs.
Oh, and at the back I'd like to see Pieters instead of Taylor who seems a bit out of form, and Mee back in for his leadership. I think you probably go Westwood and Brownhill in midfield (with some reservations) given the question marks over Cork but on form its a question of who partners Brownhill and Westwood over Cork is not a straight forward choice.

Re: Your starting eleven for Brentford
But he causes problems with his pace, even if he doesn't do anything else it's more than the other options. Wood needs decent balls put in from the wings, and Vydra needs quick balls played through the channels. Neither of them gets the service they require. The line up I proposed would be capable of feeding both what they need.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 28, 2021 12:16 pmI do not get peoples obsession with Vydra, he literally never scores

Yes I have gone with him for the reason I’m going to implement him as a work horse. Not expecting him to do anything in front of goal.
I don’t get people claiming he’s our best striker that regularly happens on here

Got to play Cornet upfront with Woods after his contrasting performances on the wing and upfront against Southampton. I like the idea of Peters in the centre of midfield and think that could be the change that sparks our season like when Mee moved from left back to centre half or when McNeil got his chance

Re: Your starting eleven for Brentford
2 thing's wrong with this imo, although I do kind of like it, but the fact that tarkowski is a right sided cb it causes us a problem between him and Taylor, which we all saw Southampton exploited on Saturday and secondly the massive need for a more agile and creative central midfielder, Cork is past this level imo and Westwood I hope Is suffering from a lack of confidence as are a few other's, consequently team's are just walking through our non existent midfield which means the forwards are starved of any service from that area. Which brings me to say is 3-5-2 our best option right now

I've left Taylor out because he's one of those suffering a lack of confidence, and also wood for the same reason,
Which gives us very strong bench in every position bar cm which should be top priority in January so consequently we'd have to manufacture a change, but alas we have to start our best and most likely to score 11 players, we have to give the opposition something to think about ffs because what we're doing is just not working
