We have been talk about Manning and Latibeaudie a lot recently
Manning has become one to drive forward and nick a goal but his defensive work is vital in protecting whichever one of the young back three plays on the left.
For me that should be Darling with Cabango in the middle and Woods on the right (both Darling and Woods are a bit quicker and more nimble than Cabango)
If Cabango playing in the middle would it mean we wouldn't be comfortable playing short balls then, great don't play them if we are being pressed continually.
Latibeaudie is a bit of a problem a bit like Naughton no pace, not big in stature but seems to be Martin's preferred choice given his desire (which has seen him getting in needlessly trouble with refs). Maybe Martin is trying to develop him and Sorinola into wingbacks but Martin like versatility and really messes them both about during games cannot see it helping either of their development at the moment. | | | |

Here' an idea.
Deploy Stevens,a player brought in on loan. Why would a coach bring in a player then not play him? | |

Wood gives the impression of being more nimble than he is. Every game he tries some 'fancy' footwork and ties himself in knots. Neither Wood nor Darling make the through ball pass Cabango is capable of (a few went astray when Piroe was out as Obafemi has a different pattern).
Of the three Cabango is the main man … even when being asked to play wide in a three he is, statistically better than his partners and routinely gains higher ratings (from independent sources).
The dilemma Martin has is Darling is weaker wide (in a three) than Cabango and it seems Wood doesn’t yet have the organisational skills to be central.
Given the player we have I would much rather see a back four.

Why do we not play it simple.That means basics.That means not gifting chances in your own box.
We do not have the players to play dream football.
It should be obvious but it isnt.
Benda is solid but his defenders are not. | |

Never doubted Cabango as being the main man in the defence as he is the most experience at this level and has had international game time.
Happy to play Darling or Cabango wide providing they get protection which Manning seems to offer. And can easily slip into a back four if need.
Rather play Darling out wide leaves Cabango to boss the pair and the middle.
As for Wood for me a better option than Naughton, Lati and on the right even Manning being used in that position???? But he needs protections.
All three have looked to drive forward both Cabango and Darling having shots but playing three at the back we must have players capable of having the sense to cover them as required.
Allen is good at snuffing out counter attacks further up the pitch but unavailable.
I wonder if Latibeaudie has the experience to play in one of the midfield defensive position because we are now lacking a defensive midfielder.
Happy to discuss the last suggestion. | | | |

I would quite like to see us play ON in what I feel is his natural position for once. In the middle, box to box. Let Fulton drop deeper and play the Grimes role. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

That may happen, but as we’ve discussed before loan players at a young age experience different training methods,group dynamics and being away from home. They learn about being a part of a squad, and new skills are grounded under different coaching styles.
Yes he would love to start I’m sure, but it all takes time and patience.
RM learned last year about playing defenders for the sake of it, surely you wouldn’t want Stevens playing today if the manager didn’t feel it was right, because I’ve got a feeling some may criticise him. |  |

He played Ntcham there last year with Grime didn't last long as we went 1-0 down and Martin changed it don't think it lasted 20 mins.
Trouble with three at the back you must have at least 2 players to be able to track back and cover as one of the three push forward which limits the middle two going forward unless those midfield duo are helped out by the wing players or the 2 midfielders deployed further up the pitch.

Ntcham seems to be in better shape than he did last year if he is the team he needs playersto feed the ball to him and have good movement around him to enable to progress up the pitch, only concern is both him and Piroe often like to occupy the same areas of the pitch. | | | |
