vonwright Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 What formation would people prefer us to play most often in the coming season? Feels like some sort of 4-2-3-1 would best suit the squad we have (or look likely to have), but we all know Warne loves his 3/5 at the back...

Carnero Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 (edited) We'll likely see a mixture of formations largely dependant on the opposition, sometimes a back 3/5 and sometimes a back 4 (just like last season). I do think a back 4 suits most of our squad better (as it stands), other than Wilson & Ward really. Edited July 25 by Carnero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 It appears like we're recruiting for 3421 with 352 as the backup option and 442 if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser_23 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 4 at the back worked much better last year than 5 (I know it was league one), so hopefully we will do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucktwo Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 (edited) Vickers Nyambe Nelson Cashin Forsyth Wilson Adams Ozoh Osborn Mendez Yates Best atm for me . Shortage of goals With 5 or 6 more to come in ..

rammieib Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 If we play with wing backs we won't score goals - simple as. Then I think defensive errors will cost us and we lose games 1-0. We have no creativity in the current squad, and we don't have a prolific goal scorer. We've signed midfielders who are not 10 Goals/10 Assist players so far. So 3 defenders, 2 wing backs, 2 or 3 centre mids - none of them are going to score goals to the level we need. A switch to 4-2-3-1 will help as it will get an extra body up the pitch for me. I like the look of some of the players that have come in - I don't yet like the look of how we will gel as a team together.

Eoghan1884 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Has to be 4-2-3-1 and I sadly think it might take a bit of time to realize that. One of Ozoh and Adams beside one of Osborn and Kenzo offers a lot of enegery akd protection for a back 4 of a new lb, Cashin Nelson and Nyambe. Then behind a target man then rotate Mendez Laing and a new no.10 as behind the striker and we have a multitude of options to play on the wing between Barkhuizen, Jackson, CBT, Wilson, Ward and Mendez Laing himself. This also allows us to play Yates off a big man at times with two wide players beside him which will benefit him greatly as he’s a poacher. vonwright 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram1988 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 3412 Wilson and Osborn as wing backs. Ebou and Ozoh behind Kenzo. Yates and NML up top. Not sure if Osborn will be played at LWB though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamInSweden Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 (edited) Best formation for the players we have must be 4231 surely. We don’t have 3 good centre backs for this level and NML just doesn’t play well as a second striker.

RadioactiveWaste Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 A fluid "bus" in defence and "weirdly all congregating at the edge of the box but then not moving at all" in attack. There's top international teams play that way and I'm sure Warene would be open to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vickers Nyambe Nelson Cashin Osborne Adams Ozoh Goudmijn Jackson Yates NML I’d go with a similar set up with 4123 Vickers Nyambe Nelson Cashin Fozzie Adams Ozoh Osborne Jackson Yates NML Still think Fozzie is one of the best defenders we have, would like to see Adams mopping up in front of the back four, would leave Kenzo out for a week or 2 until he gets up to speed with the English game. Jackson definitely not a number 9. Carnero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely would not play Fozzy at left back, he has been solid at centre back, but we saw him at left back in recent years in the championship and he got absolutely blitzed.

Yeh I know what you’re saying but he looked good there on Wed night against Chessie when the rest of our defenders were struggling. Not sure Osbourne is a left back and still not convinced with Elder🤔 RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warne we know will start the season 3/5/2 if he can, even though it’s probably the least suitable formation for us to play. One thing I do know, given the reaction to what was a meaningless friendly, if we start badly the fans are going to be on Warne like a ton of bricks.
