I think it may be Johansen playing ahead of Hendrick and Field in a midfield 3. 3-5-2. Can't accuse Warbs of not trying something different, that's for sure.
Ive no problem with this approach to be honest. Austin and gray might but **** it. Just been talking to one of my Leeds mates about not playing with a striker. He says theyve done it all ****ing season!!!
Hopefully a stream here at k.o....probably be a few minutes behind....good luck, I'm not going to be able to tollow too much, stuck out on the Hebrides with all boats cancelled and ****ty signal due to storm https://www.releasesky.com/2022/02/23/efl-qpr-vs-blackpool/
Don't see alot of goals in that lineup unfortunately, barring the front 2. There certainly won't be alot of crosses going in which is a shame, just looks a bit negative to me. I'm sure Blackpool will be thrilled not to see a proper number 9 on our teamsheet
I suggested this on another post, thought it would be worth a go, will find out shortly! Would still have liked Amos instead of Hendrick but almost ideal for me, queue a heavy loss!
The whole reason why this can work is that we never cross the ball for a big no.9 to head in(Reading excepted)
I do wonder whether it's harder to pick up Chair and Willock when they're just behind in the 10 position. I suppose they could take it in turns to be the furthest forward etc. Will be interesting.
That it will pal, i just hope they dont actually try to play as forwards but instead have the freedom to do anything
Years ago i spent time at Ajax watching and taking part in coaching sessions and seminars. Was a real eye opener, where players would train in just about every position. They believed it gave players the appreciation of what they expected from others on the pitch.
I took this philosophy to America to train what became the first professional womens team in North Carolina. Was a huge success.
Now what Warbs is attempting is easier said than done. Something that really takes time and patience on a coaching field. Im presuming hes instructed chair and willock to do as they please, literally.
