For what it is worth, I would favour a 3-5-2 as it best suits the players we currently have. This formation would solve the following problems: - Brings the talented Rawson into the team on the left side of a back 3 with Keogh and Pearce - Allows Anya to play as a left winger with defensive duties when the opposing team push forward. Also gives Christie more licence to play forward as a winger on the opposite flank - Brings in another forward (Most probably Blackman for his extra height alone) and gives Vydra a man he can play off - Allows Johnson to stay as a makeshift DM where he's not doing a bad job - Helps unlock Butterfield's potential as it gives him TWO forwards and TWO wingers that he can spray passes to In an ideal world therefore, my team would be: Carson Keogh - Pearce - Rawson Christie - Hughes - John - Butter - Anya Vydra - Blackman Given that Hughes / Blackman are not available for the Weds match, I would go for Weiman in place of Blackman and one of the U23s instead of Hughes, I.e., Elsnik / Vernam / Guy - whoever McClaren thinks is the 'next cab off the rank' (Not Hanson though, looked terrible for the U23s V Chelsea in midweek) That's my 2 cents, I'll put on my tin hat when someone tells me we're a 433 team and that's final... Strong first post mate. Like the idea of 3-5-2 myself ! Not much more I can elaborate on that what you've already said ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1977 Ram Raider Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 To win football matches you actually need the ability to score goals. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not so much that we're only a 433 side, it's that we're just NOT a 442 side, cuz it leaves us too fragile in the middle, I think your ideas sound brilliant!

JarodyDCFC Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Not sure who'll come into the squad for Hughes and Bryson. Hope it's not Baird or Jamie Hanson. Don't rate either of them. Hopefully it's Callum Guy or Timi-Elsnik. Both of them look like good prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWC1983 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Early start for the Owls fans. Looked like a bus load got off at the Wilmot in Borrowash at 10:30am. No colours on any of them, so Im assuming they are Owls. Looked all set for a good day out...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I thought this was worth a share. Someone coming over from Hungary for their first ever game. The excitement is contagious and if we could all go to every game as if it was our first ever game the atmosphere would be terrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
