.....Basso

.....Carey MCcomb Fontaine.....

Orr....McAllister

..........Russel...............

...........Brown.............Johnson..............

.............Enoch....Jevons.........

That pretty much plays our best players in best positions. (?)

Ball winner in MCcomb.

Orr free to get forward.

Russel to break up play!

Gary Johnson would be mad to change the formation under current circumstances! I cant believe its even being suggested!

Stick with the current winning formula and unsettle the team as little as possible! Pure madness!

Yeah sure I agree it should not be changed while there is the belief and we are playing well. But it does seem like an ideal formation for our team. Orr and McAllister would be usd as wing backs.

Its certainly novel......... the 3-2-1-2-2 formation!!

To be fair, it makes a far more interesting read than the usual demand of turning to a 3-5-2 whenever City fail to win a game.

I agree with this. Both of our centre halfs have been outstanding in the last 6/ 7 games. Fair play to them but it kind of hides that there is a problem. The midfield is letting too much through. Playing 3 in the middle should give a bit more protection to the centre backs.

6 posts and no mention of Careys suspension.

This formation (with different pesonnel) worked very well in the second half at Bournemouth and could be used again when struggling to break a team down.
