Guest Arnold Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Biggs has just released an article saying we could be gearing up for a formation change to 3-5-2. I would like to see us try it at some point as I think it could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh_weds_we_love_you Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 If we do change to 3-5-2 we need to be in the market for a fair few central defenders given we only have two senior ones at the club (if we keep Hutchinson in midfield)!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Could explain links with so many centre-halves. We already have good wing-back options in Reach and Hunt. Abdi might even get a game too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) If we were planning to play this way, what happens to our wingers, they'd be redundant Edited June 15, 2017 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Arnold Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Well it seems that way as we have been linked with Ayala Hanley Morrison and keogh. I'd like to see reach and hunt as wing backs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh_weds_we_love_you Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Also, surely a change to 3-5-2 will mean Forestieri carries on upfront...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddyowl Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 To play 3 at the back means having 2 full backs (Wing Backs) that are quality both going forward and defensively, so that would be at the least another 2 more new signings, Hunt and Pudil are decent enough but not good enough to make a 3-5-2 formation work well. I personally think that a change to 3-5-2 would be a move forward but not with the personal we have, Ayala, Hanley, Morrisson would all be great additions but 2 full backs would be the priority .

pazowl55 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I knew Carlos would go all Arsene Wenger on us in the end and rip up his own tactics to get with the trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Reach left wingback with pudil as back up, Hunt on right but can't see Palmer doing that job very well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Hunt would thrive in a 3-5-2 and Reach would be on the left side. Agreed that it might be too much for Pudil (he can also play centre half though right?) and we would need re-enforcements at wing back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes' but at the moment, Wallace and Forestieri play wide, and they are by far our most creative players Where would they fit in such a system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only see Forestieri playing up front, which would be a shame IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyowl Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) Ive been saying for ages that 3-5-2 gets us our best players in their best positions. Hutch at CB with Lees and Loovens. Hunt and Reach at wing backs. Lee and Bannan in the middle. Hooper behind FF and Rhodes Edited June 15, 2017 by jonnyowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it before on here that playing 3-5-2 is the way forward but the full backs are the most important players on the park to make it effective, Reach could probably do a job there but hunt I'm not so sure. George Friend and Eric Lihaj would be my ideal two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
