New formation idea (not 4-4-2)

All 3 of our cb's don't really deserve to be on the bench based on recent matches so how about going for a 4-5-1 with Ward and Bruno pushing forward (more than they already do so), have the 3 cbs playing then just one less midfielder in the middle.

Yes I know this won't happen, but it's just an idea that I would like to see experimented.

What we definitely need to be doing, when we've started looking really solid and winning games, is mess about with the formation.

Not for me . Jones praising boltons diamond took me back to some clueless tactics under Wilkins to

Like your thinking but why mess with the meanest defence in the league? Just because players are on form doesn't mean you have to cram them into new formations. Healthy competition for places will mean success. Dunk is going to become our best centre back in history.

People spend too much time worrying about formations. Any decent player knows where he needs to be.

Chicksen and Calderon both have done well when they've played. As have Lualua and March, so really, we should be going with

I still think we'd risk getting overrun in midfield. I'd add Andrews, Agustien and JFC to your lineup; I think we'd be very difficult to beat.

That's not a 4-5-1..

You're right. We also need to play two up front, so let's throw Obika in there, too.

So we should go for a 3-3-3-4-4-2 formation ? Sounds like a winner to me :thumbsup:
