3-at-the-back?

[Jebolani]

*apologies if this post has already been made, I can't remember seeing it here before*

---------Brown---------
----Lowe-Elliott-Troy---
Sido----------------CBB
------Penn-Richards-----
---Deering/Gornell/McG---
------Byron-Cureton-----

Perfect for Sido and CBB imo. 3 solid centre backs. Hardworking midfield with any of the trio in the hole behind 2 strikers.

I really don't think MY going to be that experimental with his job in some 'moderate' threat.

[Jebolani]

Ah, I know. I wasn't suggesting we used it Mal. Was trying to gauge what people thought!

Do our players have enough about them to pull off this system - I doubt it, especially not this season - Bet it's never crossed Yates' mind.

If we did play this formation, I would make just a couple of changes - put Deering in the centre in place of Gornell and put Kowitca on the wing.

A dream formation.....or the stuff of nightmares as every match would prob finish 4-5, 5-4, 3-6, 6-3 etc!!

I think we will go for the usual 9 man team with no left side at all

Well done jebolani,nice line up.This could well work,its got strength & balance.Lets hope Yatesy reads this forum,because he's got no idea what to do with it himself.Do his assistants have any ideas,do they make them known?I think its time for a fresh look at the whole set up,its way past stale.

[Jebolani]

I'm not saying we SHOULD use it, it's just an evolving formation. It's risky but it could be class away from home.

[rasta]

sneeky but we might need to play 13 players given our current form

[Jebolani]

Haha, you know what I meant

Whatever formation Yates decides to select,i would like him to send the team out to be positive and to press for 90mins.Not to sit on a lead for the last 20.
