Simpo Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Looking at something like this kinda lineup in our first friendlies? Keeper (has Placide taken part in pre season??) Dummigan Edmundson Clarke Hunt Fane Byrne Nepomuceno Baxter Gardner Holloway Probably be more of a mix of first choicers, backups and trialists though eh?

welshgaz Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Hamer ahead of Edmundson in the pecking order at centre half? He would be for me. Like them both though. Expect we'll sell Dummigan and shift Hamer out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dummigan and Nepo as wingbacks. Holloway as the target man to do the dirty work and, quite frankly, if he can't score with Byrne and Baxter creating for him then he doesn't deserve to be a professional footballer.

Placide Edmundson Clarke Hamer Hunt Dummigan Gardner Byrne Nepomuceno Baxter Forward (Holloway) Current squad as you say, but I think we'll get a main striker though, we can't go into the season with only 1 out and out striker. I have faith Rhodes can get more out of Placide. I think we need 2 older heads at the back to balance out the younger Edmundsen and Hamer, so Hunt gets the nod. Byrne box to box. Baxter with a freer role. You said Dummigan as wing back, but put him in midfield, I think you meant right wing. A big compromise despite playing there a dozen times but I haven't seen him play there most of you will have Were too imbalanced to put Dummigan on the wing. I'd certainly play a couple of halves in your formation though. Edited July 6, 2018 by singe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshgaz Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I'd go 3-5-2 so we don't get overrun in midfield and still have 2 up top. I don't believe Baxter and Byrne could play in the sake team but if they are to, then thos formation might allow for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, in a back 3 Stott would give the defence more balance that Hamer on the left and I'd currently go for Edmundson ahead of Hamer. I'd probably go for Hamer in a straight choice between him and Stott but in a back 3 Stott could be very useful this season. Hamer did really well in difficult circumstances at the end of last season, but I'd definitely start with Edmundson ahead of him in the pecking order. He also did very well at the end of the season and has a lot more pro games under his belt, so unless Hamer excels during pre-season I'd have him as backup for the time being.

Hamer is better as a right full back or wing back and he’s got a great throw in him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshgaz Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Hamer was very impressive at the end of the season and will learn so muchfrom playing alongside Clarke. A real threat from set pieces too and has an excellent throw. Hopefully room for him and George. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulliver Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I'm clearly influenced by Southgate's England experiment with Kyle Walker in a back three but I wonder whether Rob Hunt could so a similar job there? A back 3 does make sense with the lack of wide men we currently have and I think Dummigan and Nepo would be more than adequate League 2 wingbacks. A midfield 3 would allow Byrne to play centrally with Baxter supporting Holloway or a new striker that we will inevitably bring in. It'll probably all change in the next 4 weeks though...
