Cheers mate, I would of thought it to be a very very bizarre move otherwise

Agreed. Whether it's 4-4-2, 3-5-2 (or slight variations of both), I think we need to switch it up. The front 3 for example are too far apart, and whoever is on the left or right are not wingers. It doesn't help that these players are playing out of their natural positions, and, for example, McKay has been utterly atrocious. Far too predictable the way we are set up. I think it would be more forward thinking and contemporary of Warburton to regularly mix it up rather than stick with the perpetual 4-3-3 with players that are clearly not good enough for that formation. I get the philosophy, and it would be great if we had the quality to play that style, but sometimes you need to just do the old basics of hitting the by line and whipping a ball in, or counter attacking with pace rather than pulling it back and allowing teams to regroup, etc. With a front 2 playing off each other and/or getting the ball whipped in for them to stick their head on or get a boot to i think it would play more to the strengths of miller, garner et al and we would start scoring more. There's no harm in trying it out anyway as passing around the 18 yard box has been fruitless by and large. I know someone will come on and say the formation won't change but I think to get the best out the lot that we have we need to, and it would be interesting to see if it had a positive effect. I still back Warburton but he needs to adapt and change the formation and give other players their chance etc.

Is that the case mate? If so what a shocking piece of business that was. Why the fuck we would agree to a contract like that I'll never know.

I'd go with that formation then on Sunday

In all seriousness what formation did they use? Didn't see the game. I have seen them play 3-5-2 before and I have been advocating that we do that on Sunday with tav and Wallace bombing forward or dropping back as needed

What formation did BMG use?

Spot on. Every team playing against us is now doing it and we will often play ourselves into danger. Do it against them, and not only will we be punished, I'll probably take a heart attack as well

Agreed. If Wilson is fit and eligible he has to play. Would seem harsh to get one yellow and miss a game for it. Can understand if Forrester has 2 but still raging about it

3-5-2 for me also with tav and Wallace dropping back or pushing forward as necessary. It has to change for this game. Flood the midfield. Win first or second ball. Front 2 making runs to be put through on, etc. Not entirely sure of our starting 11 at the moment, but it definitely needs switched up and each and every one has to have the battle fever on

Cheers mate, just didn't want to believe it. Already up against it without players missing through suspension

Where are you reading this about Wilson and Forrester mate? Can't find anything on it.

Its our best chance if we go 3-5-2 imo. I would also drop McKay to the bench for this one.

Defintely. As we know, he can score some peaches, but is also wasteful too much. I get it he's left footed but sometimes I just wish he would crack it with his right when the angle is clearly set up for that. Surely to fuck he must practice hitting shots with his right peg!

Yaaaaas, Kenny. Great way to get his 100th
