Wood and Hendrick
Please someone tell me the last time this combo came off. It NEVER works! Regardless of the opposition.

Re: Wood and Hendrick
I can understand the need to get more numbers into midfield but Wood is so isolated and is practically useless as a lone striker. I’d prefer we played Barnes and Wood and put Hendrick on the left to bolster the midfield. Lennon’s pace is invaluable to prevent their counter attacks. That said, this game is all but over. The way we set up we had to keep the deficit to 1 to give ourselves 25 mins to chase the game.
Re: Wood and Hendrick
I've never wanted HT to come quick enough.
Where's our fight gone.
No player within 20 yards of Wood every time we lump it to him.
It's wave after wave of attacks.

Re: Wood and Hendrick
I'd stick Vokes and Barnes on, I'd rather lose 8-0 trying to win that this sack of ****

Re: Wood and Hendrick
Well the game is lost, so we might well take a midfielder off for Vydra. We might as well learn something from the defeat.

Re: Wood and Hendrick
I can see this as well as many other people. Why can dyche not. Its nit been 1 game that its not worked it's been every game. When Barnes and wood played together we looked good. Hendrick looked better in midfield on Thursday than he as ever looked behind the striker

Re: Wood and Hendrick
Wood is horribly out of form, the formation and style of play doesn’t cater to his strengths and nothing is sticking for him. Now there’s no Thursday/Sunday game schedule stick him on the bench and have Vokes or Barnes starting. Think Hendrick was unlucky to be hooked today in place of him and as many have said should be starting in CM not playing AM. Vydra needs to be integrated more into our style of play before we start him but he should of been on way earlier today. Looked instantly more threatening as a 442 today though too

Re: Wood and Hendrick
I really don't like having a go at our own plyers, but what are woods strengths ?
He can't win a header, can't hold up the ball, doesn't appear to have much pace, doesn't win free kicks ?
Both Vokes & Barnes have strong points that are evident every match.

Re: Wood and Hendrick
Not good. Wood can't play up top on his own and it's just a waste of time and a shirt persevering with this.
Re: Wood and Hendrick
Wood is soft as **** and Hendrick is not a number 10. Bizarre how Dyche still persists.

Re: Wood and Hendrick
Wood is not the weak link. He needs some 1 up top with him. He won the ball many times today out wide and back in mid and there was no 1 in box to pass it to.

Spot on. The amount of times he won the ball and either had nobody to lay it too or when he did nobody in behind him was frightening.bfc-sparta wrote:Wood is not the weak link.

Weird comment considering Ben Mee only worked when he got moved to centre half.FactualFrank wrote:Neither did Ben Mee at left back. Give it time.
Re: Wood and Hendrick
Hendrick, after a good game at centre mid on a Thursday gets shifted back up to playing behind the striker - something that has never worked and will never work - when we have Vydra on the bench who belongs in that position. Gobsmacked genuinely.

Jeff Hendrick was average last season. 5-6/10 performances week in week out. He doesn’t belong there, and he never will.ClaretTony wrote:Strange comment given the number of games we won last season with those two in the same positions.

Re: Wood and Hendrick
With respect, early on last season we weren't lumping long balls up to Wood, rather playing more 'football' with good interplay between Defour, Brady, Hendrick and Ward down the leftClaretTony wrote:Strange comment given the number of games we won last season with those two in the same positions.

Re: Wood and Hendrick
It’s this mentality that lets us down. Too much “well we won games and finished 7th with this so it doesn’t need to change”, instead of properly looking at how effective it was. We scores less goals than we played games last season - the defence was exceptional, but attacking wise there was always a lot to work on. We’ve signed Vydra (albeit our only attacking addition), so let’s use him.

Re: Wood and Hendrick
I can understand the reasoning behind playing Wood as he runs the channels better than anyone and is our biggest goal threat. But he needs support desperately. Be that Barnes, Vydra or Vokes.

It's certainly not working and something needs to change. Either Vydra plays as no. 10 or we go 442 with Vokes or Barnes.

Re: Wood and Hendrick
Wood getting a lot of unfair criticism for today's game. Don't think there was a great deal he could do with absolutely no support. He battled hard from what I saw and did okay in the second half when he finally got some support.

Re: Wood and Hendrick
Hendrick and Wood did as well as they can be expected to be when they have zero support.
Certainly talking Jeff off when he's slightly more physical than both Cork or Westwood was a strange one today. Not one of them was getting up in support of the front two, and so the very few occasions we created anything there was nobody to aim at. Jeff should be alongside Cork in the middle, with someone else playing that No 10 role so he can best utilise his strengths.
And we could have a front three of Ronaldo, Messi and Suarez and we'd still lose if we continue to defend like we are.

Agree with you on the Hendrick substitution. If we wanted to go 4-4-2 at that point I'd have taken off Westwood.Lancasterclaret wrote:Hendrick and Wood did as well as they can be expected to be when they have zero support.

Re: Wood and Hendrick
Defending, which was once our main strength is now at present shambolic. Whether it's all the swapping and changing or the lack of any shape, I'm not quite sure. We are certainly very predictable and I hope that SD uses this International break wisely to iron out the faults and try and come up with something a little different.

Wood was terrible. He simply doesn’t offer anything in this system, no pace, poor in the air and the ball simply doesn’t stick

Re: Wood and Hendrick
Except it did today and he laid it off well to others - there's nothing coming forward from midfield though and that's not his fault. For me our worst midfielder today was Cork - he looks a shadow of the standout player he was last season at the moment.MRG wrote:Wood was terrible.

And Hendrick has been very good over the last 4-5 games.

My understanding of 4-5-1 is that it evolves into 4-3-3 when we attack. There's a major part of the problem in my humble opinion.Bin Ont Turf wrote:He did very well at holding the ball up and getting into decent space.

Wood looks totally brassed off playing as a lone striker and who can blame him.
Also when was the last time Westwood or Cork even set foot in the opposition penalty box?.....We are so predictable and easy for Mourinho to nullify.
