Match Day Thread Norwich City v Brentford

Well this is interesting!

Ruddy; Martin (c), Cuellar, Turner, Olsson; Whittaker, Johnson; Redmond, Hooper, Lafferty; Jerome.

Bench: Rudd (GK), Grabban, Hoolahan, E Bennett, Murphy, Bassong, McGrandles.

Whittaker is presumably playing as a holding midfielder, in the absence of O'Neil, Tettey and Howson? Bassong on the bench. Otherwise unchanged I think.

Alternatively he's at LB, Olsson at LM and it's a 4-3-3? Or 3 CB's, in a 3-4-3? Or....

 

Weird line up hope it works.

 

O'Neill not in squad so must be a forced change.

 

If only there were some graphic to show the line up and where each player is situated.

 

Interesting line up, what shape are we making today?

 

Very well could be a 3-5-2 or 3-4-3. Lafferty and Jerome as a front 2 with Hooper playing in the hole. Redmond and Olsson wide? That'd only leave Whits and Johnson in the midfield. Maybe a... 4-3-3 with Lafferty and Redmond wide of Jerome with Hooper playing off Jerome and again Whits and Johnson as the holders. I just don't get where Whits fits in! I can thnk of like 5 different formation with that line up and they all seem strange. Hopefully Neil knows what he's doing!

 

4-3-3?

 

It looks like 3-5-2 to me, unless Whitts is playing as DM. Bassong on the bench is interesting as well.

 

I think it'll be a similar look to last week, with Whittaker slotting into midfield. It's not a role he's unfamiliar with, although I think Bradley's going to need a big game alongside him.

 

Good point.

Check out that bench!

 

I see it as a 4-4-2 with Whits in as a replacement for the injured O'Neil.

Here's a stream too...

I'd guess Whittaker straight swap for O'Neill and formation the same.
Certainly looks a side capable of scoring goals!

 

And conceding...

I think we might have another goal fest today.

 

Mine's a direct link to an active stream. The match is live on Beinsports.

Mildly interesting, shirt numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 then 9,10,11 are all on the pitch.

 

COYY!

 

Massive let-off already, Andre Gray hitting a comfortable 1v1 high and wide.

 

solid start.....

 

Any injuries to Johnson, Whittaker or our full-backs could be awkward, we've no cover for either positions on the bench really.
