Dreams VS Reality.

Warne always refers to Liverpool or Man City in interviews when talking about tactics/good teams and I know he would love us to be this multidimensional team that can effortlessly switch systems but we are in the 3rd tier of English football, We are Derby County, NOT Liverpool or Man City, that is the reality.

Drastically changing to 3 at the back with absolutely zero proof that we play better that way to see games out, we don't. Every time we go 3 at the back we completely lose any edge and become this unorganised, disjointed team on the back foot. It seems we alway revert to that because for some reason Warne loves yanking his chain over it. 

The reality is, we (imo) need to go to a 4123, stick with it for the rest of the season. 1 system, 1 lot of instructions, simplify it. Players should be then picked on form to play in that system, not shoe horning everyone in with a complete change of system because you see Man City, a billion pound team, do it on Match Of The Day.

We have more than enough to get out this league, but we need to play to our strengths and admit defeat when something isn't working, because right now reverting back to type is not it.

Still alot of games to play and no doubt there will be more drama, but we need to stomp this bottling out now.

I can't keep up with what formation we have played this season, but we have tried them all, including Herbert Chapman's "W-M" formation from the 1930s. It has made little difference as the style of play remians the same. 

Whenever we play 442, then 3 at the back is immediately though to be the solution to all our problems, and vice versa.

Having said that, didn't Cashin play left back tonight in a flat back four?
