RE: Tactics Formations & Team Selections Etc - Sausage Roll - 22-08-2023
Early days yet but after the first couple of matches, Forest are second in the league for xG against - behind only Man City. Considering we're missing Felipe and Niakhate it's encouraging that we've started the season a lot tighter at the back than we did last time round. And the three goals we have conceded have been one deflection and two unsaveable shots into the top corner.

Pretty impressive given we played Arsenal too

Saturday will be so interesting to see how we setup against united.
RE: Tactics Formations & Team Selections Etc - ozzyten10 - 22-08-2023
My guess would be the 451 with a box midfield.
Turner
Aurier Worrall Boly mckenna Niakhate
Yates mangala
Danilo MGW
Taiwo

I'm hoping Aina plays as he at least gives us a pacey attacking threat

Now Johnson has gone I hope we dispense with the ridiculous goal kick routine from last season. You know the one, kick taken to Aurier on the right touchline at half way, supposedly for him to get a flick on to Johnson for him to run on to.
Great idea except 9 times out of 10 the result was Henderson or Navas booting it straight out of play for a throw in, don’t think it ever worked. Hopefully he doesn’t try the same trick but aiming for Elanga.

Hang on... on the other thread you are worried about where Johnsons goal contribution is going to come from and on this thread you're complaining about the tactics they used to secure his goal contribution. :fishing:
RE: Tactics Formations & Team Selections Etc - Redreg - 09-09-2023
Expect us to play a 4-1-2-2-1 /4/3/3 formation .
With 2 attacking midfielders in mgw and 1 of danilo/elanga/CHO behind T .
Sangare will be the ever present 1 holding and 2 of dominguez/yates/mangala/santos/danilo as the fetchers in midfield box2box with 2 on the bench to change at 60 and push agai !! With Sangare and more athletic choice of 2 CB ‘s . The fullbacks can play higher providing width and we can change them at 60 .
Sangare is the linch pin loads of athleticism in cm and cam to still play on the transition but still retain the ball better .
Squad massively improved with so much depth.

I can't see him departing from 5-2-3 tbh.
As much as I think we'd all love to see a 4-2-3-1 to get best out of MGW I can't see him being that bold.

Things might change though with Sangare in the side. Maybe.

Not sure why he would want to change it right now when we've found an effective way of playing the better teams.
Perhaps in the 2nd half against the weaker sides would be when you'd see it more.

Could we see the return of the diamond formation not seen for a while but very successful under paul Hart , Billy Davis and even S O’D .
