Boyd RW if he's playing at all is an absolute no-brainer for me. The lad literally CANNOT tackle, so why try to make him? Basically doing to him almost exactly what we did to Reach the first four months he was here. Will we never learn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't just keep chucking anyone who can jog around for 90min back there and hoping for the best. EVERYONE comes at us down that side, it's getting ridiculous.

But it will be 352 or 3511. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any of this debate proves anything it's that whether we play a 4-4-2 , 4-3-3 ,3-5-2, 4-5-1, or even a 5-5-0. ...we really, really need a new signing on the left defensive role.

And if we're just never going to sign a proper midfield general, we really ought to be packing it with the glut of more lightweight players we've already got. I'd very happily see three sitting central, with two wide. 3-5-2 still the obvious chioce for me, but the AWBs are just so crucial in that setup it's a bit of a risky one for us at present.

I think this tells you a lot about our current squad. We have had two seasons before this one where we were very tight in the goals conceded department, so to me that meant we were doing well as a 4 in defence and 4 in midfield. No one could have predicted Loovens falling from being a good pro to one who has seemingly lost both his legs and also everything else so quickly, nor Lees being out for so long however I do think that formation is still better for us and is proven to have been better for us with this set of players we currently have. If we don't have the players for this formation now, then that's the area you have to target for next season because in truth, if you have a large squad like we have and can play two 4-4-2 formations, you have enough players for any formation, but you HAVE to be able to rely on those players to be good enough without having to resort to flooding an area of the pitch. United play 3-5-2 religiously but their wide men fall back in to defence when their centre halfs are marauding up the pitch. I've seen their wingers playing centre back and their centre backs playing wingers depending on if they are in possession or not. I don't think we have the players to be that fluid right now and it's to United's credit and to our detriment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
