What is the best formation 09:53 - Nov 27 with 681 viewsGuthrum

with the players we have available (allowing brief absentees, but not longer-term ones such as Lankester or Sears)?

I ask this because I doubt we'll actually get a widespread consensus. Our squad is not actually that well balanced in terms of positions, quality and form.

Edit: Specify which players go in which positions.

What's more concerning is that we have, on paper, a wealth of talent in the middle of the park yet consistently seem to refuse to play the ball through the middle or attempting to play football.

Last night was another example.

It's a good question. I'm leaning towards 4-3-3.

I'd say probably say a variation of 4-3-1-2

Think the back four is pretty settled now. the full backs can then push up to make a 5 in midfield if needed and if needed Skuse can drop back to play in front of the back 2 if needed. You'd ideally go with Downes, Skuse and Huws in that middle 3 with either Nolan or Judge as the play maker in the number 10.

Back 4 picks itself currently imo. Midfield three of Skuse, Downes and Nolan (or Huws or Dozzer). Norwood centrally, Jackson right sided forward, then one of Dobra, Rowe, El Miz or Edwards on the left until Sears or Lankester are fit.

433

Holy
Donacien Wilson Woolf Kenlock
Nolan Skuse Downes
Jackson Norwood Garbutt

Loads of players who can slot into any of those front six positions easily.

This could work but I wouldn't be happy with dropping Jackson if Norwood is going to be the CF.

I actually think we need to stop persisting with Edwards and Rowe. For me they both offer very little and won't be able to step up next season anyway. It should be Dobra and El Mizoni playing instead of them.

I guess 4-3-3 would be something like (when fit):

Holy

KVJ - Chambers - Wolf - Garbutt
Downes - Huws/Dozzell/Nolan - Skuse
Jackson - Norwood - Dobra

It would need to be with the caveat that Jackson and Dobra stay high and aren't back defending or deep all the time.

I don't think Rowe or Edwards should play. They offer little and we need to see if the youngsters will step up for next season.

We should be able to win enough matches anyway, the division is poor.

Who knows, hard to tell when we don't play a settled formation. I can comfortably say it's not a formation with one striker though, so either 442 or 352.

Utterly bizarre how Edwards get any game time. Even more bizarre that he also managed to get picked at right back ahead of an actual right back

442. Simple easy straight forward and proven. We need to park this whole "how do we get the best out of our 8 million centre midfielders" thing. 3 partnerships through the middle of Chambers Woolf, Skuse Downes, Jackson Norwood.

In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!

Once Sears is back that will be the case, but until then it gives us a nicer balance with a forward on one side and a winger on the other

I genuinely don't know.

I'm leaning towards 4-3-3 but the thought of Norwood being isolated (which will no doubt happen) doesn't fill me with joy. I know people say we'll play Jackson as a 'wide forward' which on paper should be good. However, when he's tracking their full back deep into our half and we try to counter, it's a waste having him so deep with his pace.

I would go:

Holy
KVY Chambers Wolf Garbutt
Downes Skuse
Jackson Judge Rowe/Edwards
Norwood

Obviously KVY is currently injured and Sears on the left when fit for Rowe
