Stick to his 4-3-3 formation and therefore have to bring in at least 3 new starters (right back, left winger, striker) plus presumably others (a left sided centre half? He often mentions it) or stick to broadly this squad (obviously there would be some signings) but use a different formation (diamond? 3-5-2?) that suits who we have. |  |

He's a bit inflexible. We were playing Lamboball (433 and centre backs splitting to play it out) for way too long, but the diamond worked after that. I'm a bit concerned we've reverted to 433 and even the centre backs splitting when it keeps failing.
Incidentally, Judge plays best in the diamond. He can really roam then.
I don't think this is his biggest decision, though. |  | | |

Go back to the diamond, suits him, suits our players (Bishop/Nolan/Judge and 2 strikers)
We played some of our best football in that formation but it didn't last long. |  |

We got a lot of injuries, i really hope that's the reason for the formation reverting! |  |

Whether he really wants to do it.
I think he sees himself as a top level manager. We're in theory a biggish club and he knows he'll get some time.
But. His record here is worse than Paul Hurst's; he can claim we've played well as much as he likes, but we've won 3 in 28 or so. That is appalling, whatever the background. He must be aware of this.
Also, we maybe a potentially a big club, but there's no sign of any real investment. It's not impossible we'll spend the next few seasons in league one purely because our squad is poor and doesn't look like getting substantially better.
The fans are great etc. etc. but that positivity will soon disappear. | | | |

At this stage he needs us a bit more than we need him, I think. | |

Yeah, I think that's right. Maybe a really big decision about his whole managerial career? It can't be much fun winning 1 game in 10 or so, regardless of how good or bad the fans are. Does he *really* see a future here? | | | |

After today's display, it might force PL's hand to change things up for the Swansea game. |  |

Absolutely, if I were him I'd be wondering if I still want to be a football manager. He better be completely signed up to being a League 1 manager at best (potentially) or this situation could get worse and worse. | |

Diamond please. Get Alan Judge running the show in a free role (Hoolahan esc).
Don't know why he reverted away from it. His best managerial spell came with the diamond. |  |

We did to be fair, but we have now ended the last 2 games with 2 strikers, and we have decent enough options in central midfield.
It baffles me that he was so good with it at Norwich, has a player so technically fitting for that role in Judge, two wider younger central midfielders with energy and legs.
And yet he has moved away from it. | |

I can only assume the lack of fit strikers has forced his hand of late to revert to the 4-3-3; Harrison, Sears, Lancaster and Morris all out alongside Keane; I'm going to assume Quaner will return for the Swansea game as perhaps Keane isn't fully ready for 90 minutes yet.
That's me giving him the benefit of the doubt as 4-4-2 works far better for us - even Judge was more potent when running on from midfield against Birmingham rather than playing as part of a perceived front three. | |

I reckon notional starting formation is the least of his worries. |  |

I think he only rates Quaner and Keane, but he made the decision last week to only play loans when necessary. Is Harrison injured? Maybe the only non-loanee striker he has available is Jackson, but to play him alone up front is plain wrong.
Whatever, he obviously favours 433, but I agree: our best football has been with a diamond, with Judge completely free. | | | |
