A front two of Baldock and OGrady doesn't exactly give me much confidence in tonight

law of averages states that one of them must score tonight.

Kaz wide left, brilliant novel idea, more service to Baldock & hey presto he's banging them in. Genius

Marxo · Oct 21, 2014

I'm hoping for a nice surprise from our lads tonight. Sooner or later it will happen, won't it?

That team looks suspiciously like 4-4-2 to me....let's hope the experiment has ended now, it wasn't working.

It's not going to be 2 up front. It will be the same as when O'Grady came on Saturday
With Baldock and kaz playing behind him. Would love 442 I think Baldock
Would thrive.

It doesn't look like 4-4-2 to me. Three central midfielders, COG through the middle, Baldock Right (ish), Lua Lua Left (ish). Basically the same s***, but with Chicksen instead of Bennett is my guess.

Agree - that's the way it looks to me.

He gave up. Not what was required.

This. Sami said in his interview that some players gave up when we went 2-0 down. I'm assuming he thought Bennett was one of them.

Our Sami is not the most flexible of fellows is he. 4-3-3 isn't working for this set of players, so why persist.

#BHAFC team v Huddersfield: Stockdale; Calderon, Greer, Dunk, Chicksen; Holla, Forster-Caskey, Gardner; Baldock, O'Grady, LuaLua.

#BHAFC subs v Huddersfield: Ankergren, Hughes, Ince, Toko, Agustien, McCourt, Colunga.

If Bennett and Bruno are both injured, this is the best team I would have put out, except I may have played Ince instead of Gardner, but maybe not? Certainly, the front three of Lualua, Gardner and Baldock is the only three that makes sense. By default rather than merit. Lualua may very well play in midfield making it more of a 4-4-2.

No pace up front.

Past records and recent form says that we should dominate midfield. If we don't we will lose this. Both full backs both look vulnerable even if we are careful.

Makes you wonder how Huddersfield can afford Grant Holt , another player we could have done with

I agree. He's built a career playing off a target man, why don't we play to his strengths?

It will be even worse v Spurs as Baldock is cup tied!

He said in an interview recently that's not the case.

Mowgli37 · Oct 21, 2014

Playing Baldock on the right seemed bizarre on Saturday. I'm not in the 4-4-2 camp but if him and O'Grady are on the pitch together then surely we should be playing them in a system that accommodates them both in their best roles? Either a 4-1-2-1-2 or a 4-3-1-2 with Kaz as the CAM?

Giraffe · Oct 21, 2014

Surely you have to play a fluid 4-4-2 with that line up.

We have lacked width all season, just get it wide to Lua Lua then you don't have to push the full backs in kamikaze fashion.

In that case you have to ask what are his strengths?

Precisely. He would be perfect.

Can't see us scoring if Gardner is up front, and where is COG playing?

Hyypia out!

perseus · Oct 21, 2014

I want to see Lualua get into the penalty box. Theirs not ours.

I like him playing central and only play him wide when Paddy McCourt comes on at 67 minutes whatever the score and however we are playing.
