Match Day Thread Saints vs Swansea, Saturday 18th Oct, 12:30

That's far too defensive. No way I'd be dropping Armstrong or moving him wing either, been one of our best players recently.

 

Why wouldn't we move Armstrong out wide?

 

One of our best players lately ... whilst playing on the wing, no?

 

Well, as a wide forward rather than a winger really (3-4-3 doesn't use wingers).

 

I'm a traditionalist. It's all the same to me.

 

Meant to say 'from wing', and also didnt see that he actually put him in his team.

So in other words ignore me as I'm being a totally thick ****

Been a long week.

 

Still too defensive. Not sure who would create much from that mdfield. Maybe Jander.

I want to see Jay Rob back. So, a front four of him, Fellows, Adarma, and Archer.

 

You've got 3 wide players there. Scienza in for one of them.

 

and Scienza - front 5.

 

How would that work? Unless two play as WB's which would leave us extremely vulnerable.

 

Difficult decisions for Still with Logba out!! My team would look something like this:
McCarthy,
Fraser, Edwards, Wood, Manning
Jander, Charles
Fellows, Scienza, Armstrong
Archer

Time for Cam to shine, if he doesn’t and we need more strength/hold play I reckon we try Azaz up top. Has all the physical qualities to play as a hold up/feeder for fast players around him & could work!

 

I'd play either Adarma or Jay Rob behind Archer. Isn't Scienza a left winger?

 

Jelert for Fraser for me but agree with the rest.

 

Them were the days.

 

Scienza is a LW or 10. His game is much more suitable for the number 10 role than either Robinson or Armstrong.

 

Yeah good shout tbf, be good to see Jelert from the start. Wee man seems to make an impact off the bench too if it doesn’t work

 

Not sure how we can say that with any real conviction. We've barely seen anything of him yet, and he has been used as a LW for pretty much his whole time in the Bundesliga.

 

From what I've seen he likes to come inside a lot and he's more of a techincal player than either Robinson or Armstrong who are more direct. Playing either in the 10 position would be a complete waste and would be forcing them into the team for the sake of it.

 

I don't think any of the three are natural tens, but at the same time they all offer something slightly different, and it would be beneficial to give them all a go at some point.

 

Yes they do offer something different and while Scienza may not be a natural 10, I think he has the skillset to be effective there whereas I don't see that with the other 2. But would I like to see those three together behind Archer? Yes I would - with Scienza in the middle.
