I'm not sure Lambert genuinely knows how to implement it?
I'm actually not too sure what, if anything is being coached during the week at the moment but that is a different thread altogether.
I think if we go the Sunderland with the same back 3 that lack so much pace we will get ripped apart again. Any team that is dynamic and creative in attack can easily get in behind Chambers/Wilson/Woolfenden as they play a stupidly high line for the pace they have (as seen first goal - Dembele).
As I have said before, my preferred formation is a 4-2-3-1, the most balanced formation in football imo.
Starting XI has to included our dynamic options :
--------------------------Holy---------------------------
Donacien - Chambers - Woolfenden - Garbutt
------------------Downes - Huws---------------------
-----Edwards------- - Dobra --------- Sears -------
------------------------Norwood --------------------- |  |

Interesting front 4.
What you've done here, is drop our leading goal threat (Goals+Assists - Jackson) and the marginally more in form Keane for the marginally more out of form but publicity happy Norwood, a player on the way back from a significant, long-term injury and an untested yoof.
Furthermore, your "holding" midfielders aren't really out-and-out holding midfielders and, while I'm at it, you're playing an attacking left winger at left back.
Well...it'll certainly be exciting!!! |  | | |

We just had a month of solid football under this formation and we lose a couple and now we have to change. I bet you were moaning about the rotation weren't you? |  |

Ridiculous that you don't have Jackson in there although not surprising given your other ridiculous posts about Jackson.

Edwards playing off the main forward rather than Jackson? Dear oh dear. |  |

Edwards is suspended for the next 2 games. [Post edited 3 Feb 2020 13:46]

I think we're pretty much forced too without Garbutt and Edwards. The wing backs are key to that formation being effective and Kenlock and Donacien are not up to playing in that position. My worry is our lack of wide players to play a different formation.
I think our upturn in form came just at the wrong time in terms of getting Evans to do anything in the January window, which leaves us short of an edge to get into the top two. Unless a couple hit real form now, which is definitely possible, coupled with the strange results this league can throw up, I fear the playoffs. | | | |

I think most were moaning about rotation.
We'll see, I'll pull this thread back up after Sunderland. | |

Yes we all were, because the formation was constantly changing. We just had a load of good performances with this, let's not start this again. | |

I don't think Jackson for Norwood is a down grade, especially not on the basis of the last 2 games.
I would suggest Downes and Huws are probably our best 2 holding midfielders.
Let's take Garbutt out and put Kenlock in then shall we  | |

I think you just have to be a little careful how you post, it’s so easy after the event to feel like you have a better idea of what needs to doing, who plays well etc than Lambert.
The problem comes when you can’t really decide yourself.
From 25th Jan:
Really enjoyable game to watch first and foremost. Really think this system is something we can settle and build a full squad around in the coming years, very much in the Sheffield United mould of things.
Keep posting, keep passionate, get a lower horse. |  |

That nicely answers my point too. A week ago the formation was golden, now it needs scrapping after 2 losses! | |
