diamond formation ?

[fencer/bee]

do you think it would work ?


kev (defensive mid)


williams poole



connell (attacking mid)

 

[Ambrose_1889]

No, I want to see Smith and Bean playing.

 

[Mr Cynical]

I hope you've got a flak jacket handy....

 

[brighton bee]

outrageous suggestion

good luck mate!

 

[jlove]

How about:

--- Koh-i-noor ---
Mattan --- Nizam
----- Orloff ------

:yes:

Good apple :yes:

 

[The Pipe]

How about going back to the old 3, 3 5 formation with 2 wingers a centre forward and 2 inside forwards, based on our squad at present it seems the only way to fit everyone in!!!!

11 + goalie on the pitch nice but surley someone would notice

lollolrofl

 

[Brain-dead Bee]

Don't think we have the right players for it. I think we go for Newton/Smith/Bean/Poole or Williams/O'Connor/Bean/Poole (if Williams and Poole play, I think we need Kev as more defensive-minded than Smith).

If chasing a game, you could play Connell at the front of a diamond, but I wouldn't want to do it for 90 mins. The only way I'd see him starting behind a front 2 would be in a 3-4-1-2 formation and I'm not suggesting that

Some of them struggle with their own names so let's keep it nice and simple please.

4-4-2. Tried and tested.

great idea. let's drop our two best midfielders smith and bean.

 

[Raybfc123]

We don't need Kev on the pitch at all in any capacity other than maybe a right back.

He just looks sooo slow compared to what we currently have and should be used only as cover never in the starting eleven IMO.

 

[NorthamptonBee]

When I was a palyer I alwas preferred to get tight in a V.

 

[BeeSinceBirth]

When I think back, there has been very few teams that have succesfully played a diamond formation, let alone at this level...

 

[MetalBee]

On the evidence so far no to a diamond. Bean and Smith alongside each other seem to work well and over the course of the season providing both stay fit I can see that partnership being a key to our performances

 

[NorthamptonBee]

I'd be happy to play in the hole if needed.

Keep em coming... Someone'll bite.

Muscle?

Sorry to be a little bit negative but after some encouraging friendly results and performances and some good summer signings by andy scott, am i the only person who thinks the squad lacks a bit of bite/backbone/experience, we desperately need an on the field leader in the mould of Paul Evans, somebody who can galvanise the younger players to hold onto a one nil lead with 5 minutes to go on a wet and windy tuesday night at Rochdale, playing attractive passing football is great but league 2 is also about getting stuck in.

but the signings have been top notch for this level, but i do not see a natural leader out there.

Bean and Smith both seem like strong characters and are in good positions at the centre of the park. MacDonald seems to talk a bit too.

Newton has had the armband for most of the games he's played pre season I think.

Depending who it is though the hopefully incoming centre back will be a leader and captain material

Whatever the formation Alan Connell ( our best player) has to be in the eleven against Bury, I cannot see how AS can possibly leave him out.

Absolutely. It'd set a bad precedent if he is not starting games while playing in this kind of form
