BlueBearz1990 570 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Anyone have an idea of what they think might be his preferred formation? Obviously we still need to wait until the window closes to know exactly what we have, but I don't think his formations at the end of last season will hold any clues as he was basically trying to get the best out of the shite he had. Whatever he uses there's no doubt he'll have a plan B in order as it's clear he's not shy of chopping and changing when need be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackrfc95 4,255 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Providing we secure all our targets I think his strongest 11 will look something like this: Fod Tav Alves Cardoso Wallace Rossiter Dorrans Candeias Pena McKay Morelos McKay probably the only question mark but I'd personally keep him.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 34,461 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I'd imagine it'll look something like: 4-1-2-3-1, with Pena or Dorrans breaking forward.         Fod Tav Alves Cardoso Wallace         Jack     Dorrans Pena Candeias       Dalcio        Herrera With the likes of Miller, Moreles, McKay, Kranjcar, Rossiter, Wilson, Hodson as options off the bench. Squad supplemented with the likes of Dodoo, Holt, Baronjas, Bates, Beerman. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps having stronger players in the team will enhance his game. I'm also expecting Wes to look a lot better without a dodgy defence asking too much of him at times.

Foderingham didn't do much wrong last season. Actually made a lot of really good saves that kept us in games at times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our improved defenders can limit mistakes and general poor defending, Wes won't be exposed as often. We know he's a very good shot stopper, so if opposition strikers are only able to attempt long shots then that plays to Wes's strengths nicely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

westenclosure2008 797 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I don't think he will but I'd go with 3 at the back -          Wes    Cardoso Alves Wilson Tav   Pena  Dorrans  Wallace          Kranjcar     Herrera  Morelos   Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has earned another season to prove himself. If he's not ticking boxes this year then he can join the rest of Warburtons duds playing for diddy teams in the low leagues of England.

Ryju84 3,170 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Hopefully Pedro has a plan B when things aren't going correct in a game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobham 1,569 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Pedro's plan 'A' is to do plan 'B' better! seriously though I've been thinking about this and I think it will be 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3. Buying wingers I assume we'll play them. I think he might even play Morelos wide with Herrera through the middle. I don't know why I think that but just have a feeling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRW. 5,631 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 4-2-3-1 when on the ball, 4-1-4-1 off the ball. Every player he has signed is a hard worker, even the wingers. Don't think lack of commitment will be the issue this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's the rest of the team play, and it's not a glamour position. It might be Rossiter, but who knows what his fitness situation is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he's only 20 or so, and has only played at a pretty low level. Herrera has done it at international level for Mexico (for a short period albeit). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluchoo 846 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 With signing Herrera and Morelos for big money im now thinking its going to be 4 4 2              Fod Tav      Alves     Cardoso    Wallace Candeies   Pena   Dorrans    Dalcio         Morelos     Herrera Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

6superbarry6 14,159 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I'm thinking 442 don't think we'd have bought 2 strikers otherwise,could maybe see Dorrans playing wide midfield like Davis used to for us with maybe Candieas playing RB and asked to provide the width on that side with McKay or hopefully Walker on the other side              Wes Candieas Alves Cardoso Wallace Dorrans Jack/Rossiter Pena McKay        Herrera Morelos Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BailliestonTB 270 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 4-2-3-1 attacking 4-1-4-1 when defending. Can't wait till next season!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxi 11,484 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Pena isn't a #10 so I don't see how a 4-2-3-1 would work with him in the #10 position. By all reports he's a box-to-box midfielder. I think we will probably be 4-3-3 again or 4-1-4-1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
