Does anyone expect big changes to the way we line up? We seem to have an abundance of players that suit these formations.
Could we field a 41212 (diamond)
Or maybe a wide variation of it?
Smithies
Bennett
Nelson
**** knows
Coxe
Pack
Ralls Bacuna
Tomlin
Ward Glatzel
Ball on the deck.
Could any of the wingers do a job up top?
Hoilett would be ok in the 10 role as well
Yes, I’m bored.
Ciaron Brown the other CB.Quote:

Worth a shot.Quote:

That’s why I mentioned the wingers up topQuote:

4411 and 4231 are very similar, I’ve always thought we play 433 anyway not 4141 or 4411Quote:

We no longer have a manager who insists on playing two wingers with defensive full backs. We were over reliant on those wingers to produce match winning moments and, perhaps bogged down with the defensive responsibilities they always had under our former manager, they, both collectively and individually, have not produced enough of them since we got promoted.
