Guest Spike Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 Which formation would you prefer to see city playing? the 4-4-2 or 5-3-2 formation? I can remember when we first switched to 5-3-2 and people adventuly seemed to grow to it but for some reason I still don't like the formation and I'm happy with a 4-4-2... but I'm still unconvinced on which of the two we should be playing.. whats your opinions?

ziderhead2003 Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 3-5-2 because we r more attacking and i think we will score more goals.! :Costumed19: :Party27: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre_The_Giant Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 I think our team is best accommodated in a 3-5-2 formation. Hasn't exactly produced the results so far, but I think the use of 3 centre backs and more width in midfield is the best way forward. Starting line up for BPA: .............Phillips ........Coles.....Butler....Hill Roberts....Wilkshire..Burnell...Woodman .......Leapy............Miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Both have advantages and disadvantages. 4-4-2 - More solid defensively,but not so creative going forward. 3-5-2 - More exposed down the flanks defensively,but more creative going forward. Thats why I reckon 4-4-2 away and 3-5- at home.People laughed when I suggested it, saying the players needed the same formation home and away.In fact Wilson played BOTH formations on Saturday.A team has to flexible to suite the type of game.

andy g Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 both systems have their advantages and disadvantages But the squad we have suits 3,5,2 better for the following reasons... 1/ We have only got one winger nowadays, but have got several players who can play at wingback 2/ with 3 at the back we are able to play matt hill in his best position. (although Danny Coles doesnt seem as happy in a back 3) 3/ with 3 in central midfield we can play wilkshire AND tinnion in the middle alongside a destructive midfielder. Until or unless we get another genuine winger, I think 3,5,2 is the way forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fct Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Certainly 3-5-2 at home. You have got to have ambition, but early on when DW played 4-4-2 with 2 defensive midfielders in the middle clearly was not ambitious. As to away matches, 3-5-2 would be my choice unless you were against a quality team like Plymouth, QPR or Brighton. Then 4-4-2 or even 4-5-1 would be my choice.
