CHAZ MICHAELS Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I've seen one or two messages on here suggesting we moved to 4-4-2 yesterday. Did we ? I'm happy to admit that I'm no Stevie Cotterill and that maybe I don't know my 3-5-2 from my 4-4-2 but to me it looked like this: We started with Mark Little and Greg Cunningham as the wingbacks, and Ayling, Flint and Williams as the 3 centre backs. Half way through the 2nd half, Cunningham was replaced by El Abd, and it looked to me like Williams moved into the left wing back role allowing El Abd to replace him as one of the 3 centre backs. Pack replaced Freeman so we still had Elliott, Smith and Pack in the middle of the park. Wagstaff replaced Elliott with a minute or two to go. So I'm not sure where 4-4-2 comes from. In fact it looked to me like we finished as a 5-4-1 with Sammy B filling in on the left side of midfield and just leaving Wilbraham up front. It doesn't really matter but I am just interested.

CITYAREREDANDWHITE Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I thought that mark little moved up to RM, leaving Ayling at RB, Flint and El-Abd at CB and Wiliams at LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Peacock Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Started as our normal 3-5-2 but during the second half if you had to stick a label on I would say it was 4-4-2, or even 4-5-1 at the end, but really it was pretty fluid and hard to give a tight label to. Hard to tell where SB plays sometimes as he comes deep for the ball, goes out wide or waits for AW flick ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Baldock was definitely playing left wing following the changes. I would have described it as 4 2 3 1 with smith and pack sitting in front the back 4 and little playing wide attacking right with baldock on the left.

joeyb Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I saw it as a 4-3-3 Ayling Flint El-Abd Williams Smith Pack Elliott Little Baldock Wilbraham As you said, doesn't really make a difference to me as longs as the players understand it and it is effective, just interesting.

Brislingwood Red Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I saw it as 433 with Baldock and Little either side of Wilbrahimovic. Either way, it's pleasing to see we can switch to an alternative formation during the game without a great deal of confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
