Formation – What Should It Be?

[Phil Old Boy]

Not again. We should have this sorted by now!!!

Why not try, if available

 

 

Potter

Smith/Wardy (Sweeper)

Chenery Cowan (Centre Backs)

Bennett (Holding Midfield)

Kennedy Duffy (Wide Players)

Minton Gooden/Parmenter (Midfielders)

Boylan Gregory (Forwards)

 

I said it last season. Play more of the “old boys” that have served us so well in recent seasons and you can’t go wrong. Only Mnton and Cowan were good enough last year to make the first eleven and this year, Gooden is challenging Parmenter, but other than that this should be it.

I would go 4-4-2:

 

GK - Potter

RB - Chenery

CB - Theobald

CB - Cowan

LB - Davidson

MR - Kennedy

MC - Minton

MC - Midgley

ML - Gooden

FC - Boylan

FC - Bequez

4-4-2, 4-4-2, IT HAS TO BE 4-4-2!!!!!

 

With:-

 

Potter/Harrison - Has to be Potter 1st choice every Canvey fan can see that!!!

 

Chenery/Smith - Theobald/Ward - Cowan - Davidson/Chenery

 

Kennedy/Midgley/Protheroe - Dobinson/Protheroe/Bennett - Minton/Parmenter - Duffy/Gooden/Parmenter

 

Midgley/Gregory - Boylan/Berquez

 

(My first current first choice for each position is listed first from the left)

AGREED!!!

[Shoulders]

I agree too, especialy with the 5-3-2. We've tried to play the 4-4-2 but we haven't got the right players for that formation. We've got 5 good center backs now but were trying to play 2 of them as full backs. JK and Duffers are made for the Wing back roles

 

I've always been a fan of the 5-3-2 at the Lane. It's fantastic to watch and using wing backs means there's always a link between defence, midfield and attack (no need for long balls!)

 

The only problem with the formation before was that we were letting in goals. I don't think that will happen this year as now we have Theobald (new) Buzz (back) and Cowan (like a new player as he hardly played last year) + Chenners and the GSG. This also means that Benno doesn't have to play center back.

plus dobbo or benno get to mess around in midfield causing mischief!..

 

what are the chances of this line up but in different positions on saturday?
