stogursey red Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 We need to play 442 from now on we looked a total different team when we went to it today, just feel if we where like that all game we could have took them, Tammy needs someone next to him to do the fight so he don't have to and can be in the right place more, Also would stop there wingers having the freedom of the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinman85 Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 No no no. 3.5.2. Best way to get Tomlin, 2 strikers and some width. We can't defend so why play 4 at the back? 2 wingers and a striker needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Tammy does need help but we don't have the players to effectively play 4-4-2 for me. Wilbs is a great pro but hasn't got 90 in him any more. Where would Tomlin fit into this formation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Give 3-5-2 a go. Moore - Flint - Mags Matthews - Reid - Tomlin - Pack/Smith/GON - Freeman/Bryan Tammy - Engvall/Wilbs Got to be worth a shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolas Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 352. The only formation that will give width, midfield numbers, tomlin in the team central and behind two strikers. Unfortunately that will mean Bryan may have to play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started so positively today. I think 3-5-2 is the only way to go now with Matthews & Bryan as wing backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 4-3-3 would work with our players Tomlin in the middle with Engvall and Tammy either side of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think LJ will sign wingers - we play through the middle with short passing - well that's the philosophy (The 'bomb alleys' are closed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Just when I thought I'd seen the last of 3-5-2 and now I want to see us play it. The ONE big issue I can see with it is if one of the back three gets injured, will Ekstrand be able to cover? Is he fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Maesknoll Red Posted December 17, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Go for it with 4-2-4, two flying wingers with no defensive responsibilities..... proper arse off your seat excitement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I am sure is tied, Tomlin, Abraham have to be in some combination as they all work well together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point when we have pack and o'neil as defensive midfielders? Such a gap between midfield and attack. At one point Bryan was clear on the left, puts in a great ball and tomlin just did not have the legs to get up and support tammy. We need 2 options minimum when getting balls in the box. Far too often it's just tammy in there. People keep going on about playing tomlin in his preferred position but I really do think it's best for the team that he plays left of a 4-3-3. If we go 4-4-2 then we'll just get overrun like against Huddersfield. Maybe do it and drop tomlin. But I don't see wilbs as an answer to play regularly. Thank God the transfer window is so close. He does this quite often and the fact we've been starting 2 holding midfielders has been hurting us. We end up with 3 holding. That's why Bobby starting there was important as he'd get forward when Tomlin dropped deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
