You have too many wide players for a 3-5-2 formation and just 1 centre back, so it's not solid enough for me. Needs to be 3 centre backs and 2 wingbacks.
I like the idea of using Civelli and Edwards as wingbacks. They've both played at full back a lot, so I'm sure they'd be very competent at it. But McAuley would need stronger defenders than Rosenior and Wright alongside him. For example, when Burley played 3-5-2, you wouldn't expect to see Clapham and Wilnis alongside Mowbrary in the middle would you. |

First of all I agree with you that the rebuild was necessary. But a few points I'd like to make on your article...
-I think you're being excessively damning in your suggestion we'd have been in a relegation battle anyway. The squad Keane inherited was a squad of very average Championship players, a few hard grafters, destined to finish 10th-15th or so. Just a mid table side that without the instability the rebuild has brought wouldn't have faced a relegation battle. But for sure we weren't just a few tweaks away from promotion, maybe with about 3 signings we could have been outside shots for scraping into the play-offs, but that isn't good enough for the aspirations of ME and co. Although the rebuild has been unsuccessful so far, it really was necessary to ever compete properly in this division and hopefully get out of it.
- You say we achieved 12 points from 24 with Gio. But he was injured during the middle so didn't play the last 8 games. The games he was involved in actually yielded 15pts from 24, pretty decent going, and yes it really did paper over some cracks.
- Finally, I don't really see how you can say taking away Gio's goals we'd have x less points, so that makes analysing how far away from the play-offs we'd have been without him rather pointless. Who knows how we'd have fared, although it would no doubt have been worse. |
