Today's Friendlies (and I guess match thread)

[ollieclarets8]

Some updates on the Hudds game on Burnley's Twitter.

[ClaretTony]

No sign of Obafemi or Churlinov, they must have gone on holiday with Brownhill.

[Newcastleclaret93]

How are the new lads getting on

[whiffa]

No sign of Obafemi or Churlinov, they must have gone on holiday with Brownhill.

Hopefully that's because they're not in Scott's plans and are on their way out.

Or benson and Dodgson

[123EasyasBFC]

How are the new lads getting on

Walker, Hartman and brunn Larsen having good games

[IanMcL]

Anthony in on goal but keeper saves from point blank.

[Goliath]

How's Koleosho doing at wing back, I've been beating that drum for a while. Convinced it could be the ideal role for him eventually

[123EasyasBFC]

I wouldn’t say he’s wing back as such, it’s very much a back 4 with Walker at right back

[Newcastleclaret93]

Walker, Hartman and brunn Larsen having good games

Are we playing 5 at the back (wing backs?)

Seen a few on Twitter saying Hartman looks a player

[Mattster]

According to Matt Scrafton it's a back 4, so Koleosho is just playing on the wing

[Casper2]

Hartman does look decent

[IanMcL]

Good ball from Walkercto Hartman, overcthectop of the defence.

[firebfcfire]

Tuanzebe off for Sambo after 25 minutes. Looked pre planned.

[Goliath]

Ah OK. Someone had mentioned we were playing with a back 3

[123EasyasBFC]

Set up like a 4-4-2 but Hartman seems to have license to get forward and at times has been the most advanced player.

Koleosho playing really wide right.

For me if we are playing a 2 man midfield we need stronger options than what we currently have

[CoolClaret]

Not for me.

Cleary three at the back in possession of the ball, might go to a back 4 when off the ball but it's Koleosho and Hartman hugging the touchline as wingbacks, imo.

[123EasyasBFC]

I don’t think Walker is playing central, he’s been very much in a traditional right back position even with how wide koleosho and Hartman have been

[CoolClaret]

I don’t think Walker is playing central, he’s been very much in a traditional right back position even with how wide koleosho and Hartman have been

He's playing RCB, it's undoubtedly a back three in posession of the ball, Ekdal CB, Esteve LCB

[Fez]

Looks a 3 in possession

[CryerBFC]

Definitely a back 4 for me, but in attacking possession Walker sits deeper as a 3.

Koleosho is proving to me that he won’t be starting games this season. That last action of the first half was enough.

[Firthy]

Seems our strikers are effective

[123EasyasBFC]

He's playing RCB, it's undoubtedly a back three in posession of the ball, Ekdal CB, Esteve LCB

Alright mate calm down, from what I’ve been watching I’ve seen a clear back 4 and we have been 4-4-2

[123EasyasBFC]

Koleosho full of effort and drive but it’s just that technical elements in the final third he doesn’t have yet

[CoolClaret]

Only issue I have with this setup is that it doesn't seem to benefit Anthony's skillset too much - he was fabulous at taking down those long balls and driving at the fullback last season... requires a different skillset playing narrower.

[fidelcastro]

Is the fact that no one seems to know what formation we're playing, a clever ploy to get people to fork out a fiver to watch the game on clarets player or whatever it's called?

[Steddyman]

Definitely a back 4 for me, but in attacking possession Walker sits deeper as a 3.

Koleosho is proving to me that he won’t be starting games this season. That last action of the first half was enough.

That's a bit harsh, he is clearly not fully match fit atm and that is precisely what these games are for.

[CoolClaret]

Alright mate calm down, from what I’ve been watching I’ve seen a clear back 4 and we have been 4-4-2

I'm quite calm.

Here's another shot.

If it was a back four (in posession), Ekdal would be further to the right hand side of the pitch

[fidelcastro]

Koleosho full of effort and drive but it’s just that technical elements in the final third he doesn’t have yet

How long do we have to wait?

[CryerBFC]

That's a bit harsh, he is clearly not fully match fit atm and that is precisely what these games are for.

As someone has mentioned above, the efforts there, but technical ability isn’t. His decision making, as shown over the last 2 seasons, doesn’t seem to be getting any better

[ClaretTony]

How's Koleosho doing at wing back, I've been beating that drum for a while. Convinced it could be the ideal role for him eventually

Playing a traditional back four

[fidelcastro]

That's a bit harsh, he is clearly not fully match fit atm and that is precisely what these games are for.

He should be more match fit than anyone, having just played in a tournament!

[ClaretTony]

Or benson and Dodgson

Dodgson will be leaving soon, not heard anything about Benson. The two I jokingly mentioned are definitely not in the plans.

[123EasyasBFC]

I'm quite calm.

Here's another shot.

If it was a back four (in posession), Ekdal would be further to the right hand side of the pitch

You can’t show still images and prove it’s a back 3, what’s to say Hartman hasn’t made one of his many forward runs from left back.

In my opinion it’s a back 4 and we are playing a more traditional 4-4-2, you undoubtedly don’t have to agree with me it’s fine

[123EasyasBFC]

How long do we have to wait?

Well given he’s only had one full season of senior football and a serious injury and still only 20, id still give him a hell of a lot more time

[Vino blanco]

In Spain watching the Huddersfield game on my fire stick. Not a lot to cheer about, Koleosho still giving the ball away, not much happening up front, Anthony had a good chance but sidefooted as usual instead of putting his foot through it. Let's hope for a bit more excitement in the second half.

[Tricky Trevor]

So am I correct in thinking, two HTs:0-0 Hudds & 1-0 Shrews?

Where did you find it, please, Vino?

[fidelcastro]

You've a lot more patience than me. I thought he was awful when he played last season, and that culminated in him losing his place.

[Commy]

That's a long throw that Walker has.

Formations are often fluid, especially in the modern game, but usually the listed formation is the one used in possession of the ball.

There are plenty of teams that build up in various ways but sink into a back 4 out of possession.

[Guller Bull]

1-1 at Shrewsbury

[Holmechapel]

Where did you find it, please, Vino?

Plenty of friendlies on Firestick under ‘Games not PL or EFL ‘ but can’t find ours.

[123EasyasBFC]

He wasn’t good last year and today we are playing another team with men behind the ball, on the counter this season I think he will be back to his best

[mikaelj]

52' | Edwards curls in a free-kick. 1-1

[Vino blanco]

Tricky Trevor, on my system I have a football icon. I clicked on that then went to "live football and friendlies" where I found the game amongst many others.

[fidelcastro]

1-1 at Shrewsbury

WE'RE GONNA WIN THE LEAGUE!

[fidelcastro]

He's becoming the new Foster on here.

[Guller Bull]

Weiss on for Hladkey
