Holy - Woolfenden, Chambers, McGuinness - Matheson, Kenlock, Nolan, Bishop, Judge - Jackson, Norwood
Subs: Cornell, Ward, Huws, Dozzell, Thomas, Drinan, Parrott
I don’t think 4-4-2 would work for us as we’d be too lightweight in midfield so 3-5-2 or a variation thereof might be the way forward. Would it work? No idea, but it’s clear 4-3-3 isn’t fit for purpose in it’s current guise and we need to try something different, |  |

We were largely hopeless with three at the back last season even with having Garbutt as a natural wing back. Our CBs don't suit it, imo. We have no left sider and the CBs are all genuine CBs, not the kind of flexible CBs that can play full back or even centre mid, which is what you tend to find with sides that play three at the back genuinely effectively.
For all that we have a massive squad, I don't think we're obviously suited to a particular formation. That's a criminal failing really. |  |

Lambert will probably try it with Chambers and Ward as the wing backs. |  |

It is because we really need to have two up top yet have very little in way of strength in midfield to do anything but play three there, so that leaves us either weak at the back or up front. If we were going to bring in loanees we should have brought in players to supplement what we had rather than more of the same.
We have what we have, though, so we need to somehow make it work until the end of the season. I know it’s been said for the last two years but maybe another manager would get more out of the squad. | |

If we try wing-backs Lambo would definitely do it with Chambers and Ward. |  | | |

I’m loving the commitment to discussing the game and tactics, and if we’d carried the good work of Blackpool into posh and Northampton I might join you.... but that Northampton player performance has knocked my blue goggles lunacy somewhat!!
Anyway here goes;
Nolan won’t start, might not even make bench.
Oxford pass well, and I think play with some width.
Someone needs to replicate Downes role.. Dozzell go deeper
Kenlock and matheson can defend and go forward; Chambo just gets skinned so stick with expected back 4; play judge as number 8 and find a way to get parrot and Norwood linking
I have this weird feeling we’re going to put in performance and extend the demise |  |

I do think 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 suits our players best but we just don't play it right and that's on the manager. The forward players don't really play as forward players with how Lambert sets them up and that leaves us essentially playing an isolated striker. But that's really a failing of the manager and his coaching and tactics rather than being down to the system. And we're equally ineffective when we play 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 as well for similar reasons, but also that I think both of those formations don't really suit the players we have. | |

Nahh pretty confident we'll get spanked today. | | | |

I highly doubt Nolan or Jackson will even be at the ground to be honest! Unfortunately he’s our only player who might have a chance of even replicating the Downes role which means we are going to be horrifically light in the middle. Even if we go with a back four I’d still replace McGuinness with Chambers and get some experience in there. | |

I'd try bribing Oxford. Or if that didn't work, filling their water bottles with triple strength laxatives. |  |

Is it? Ward is on the bench and Chambers isn't playing as a wing back? | |

Well no no ward. But maybe lambert will go 3 5 2.
The lineup itself is random. | |
