tinman85 Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 We were overran in midfield tonight. Pisano and Bryan wing backs and as Fulham away Josh, Smith and Pack in mid. Two strikers. Simples. We can't keep clean sheets away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Not for the next 2/3 games at least with suspensions we have, would mean Wright/Baker/Mags and Pisano/Kelly playing 2/3 games in a row. Personally I'd go back to the 4141 system we saw against Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Nothing to do with formation. Don’t recall you calling for 352 prior to the new year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone go to Fulham away? Our best performance of season away. Midfield three were class. Now we have Diedhiou back we need to dominate that mid again. We don't keep clean sheets much and our full backs are non existent! As is a midfield two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolas Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 352 working fine for Fulham! if you have pacey wingbacks, which Pisano and Bryan are, its definitely good for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmn...it isn't 4-4-2 in the conventional sense though, for Barca especially. Diamond, 4 central midfielders...really quite different in some ways. As for us...I think 3-5-2 has some merit tbh. 4-4-2 in the traditional sense, I think has had its day a bit. 3-5-2, could actually give us quite a range of possibilities.

ZiderEyed Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Reckon 3-5-2 with a marauding centre half creating overloads will be the new trendy thing in a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was his dogmatic insistence on 352 that got me. It's a formation that can can to used for different teams, but it is not a philosophy as cotts seemed to elevate it to. I think we have the personnel (with Pisano and Bryan) to play 352. When fit I'd favour Hegeler in the 3 somewhere as he can bring the ball out. Think Mags would be ok at that and there's move cover if he does make a howler. Paterson was good Saturday but generally he's been poor of late. I like Bryan at full back but anything to get him more involved higher up the pitch is good for me. Pisano showed on Saturday what we have missed playing Wright there in terms of going forward. (Not a go at Wright, who despite criticism I feel has done more than adequately given he is a CB). Good call @tinman85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie BCFC Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Why change formation? Granted we weren’t brilliant yesterday but we know it works and we know 352 doesn’t work for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 3 5 2 without Joe Bryan? Strikes me as a shit idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
