old_eastender Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Whilst we can wait in hope for the Jan transfer window, I'd like to see us making best use of what we have. As much as this will be unpopular with some, I'd like to see us play Cotts formation...Joe.B is tailor made to play LWB and either GON or Smith could play RWB, so something like this: FF Moore, Flint, Mags GON/Smith Bryan Reid Pack/Smith/GON Freeman Engval/Wilbs/Tomlin Tammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoldenBall Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 I'd try the Chelsea formation, 3-4-3, with Tomlin Engvall and Abraham as the 3 forwards, this way Tomlin who hates tracking back can be covered with ease. Similar to Hazard. Also 3 at the back gives Little more protection, it gives Flint more options to pass to when he's on the ball AND Joe Bryans best position is LWB.

This could be a very good system if the 3 CB's stay disciplined , the reason we struggled under Cott's with this , is we were too gung ho !

robin_unreliant Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Wasn't too long ago everyone was slating 3-5-2 and blaming it for our relegation fight. Now people think it will improve us ??? OTIB is so fickle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now people think it will improve us ??? OTIB is so fickle! All about having the right players to fit that system, in my opinion Moore has looked quality in the little time we have seen him, so a back 3 of Moore, Flint, Mags I reckon would give us a solid platform and playing with wing backs would perhaps enable us to get behind teams which we rarely do now.

Offside Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 My main concern with 3-5-2 would be that teams would find it easy to pick us off in any space left behind the wing-backs, just like in the first half of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodburyred Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 What about a 4-1-3-2 formation or basically 4-4-2.

The only defender not bombing on was Flint, it was like schoolboy football at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
