4231 then on 12:44 - Mar 2 with 3261 views | chicoazul | We have one or maybe two of those sets of players. I’d rather we continue to be pragmatic. | |

4231 then on 12:46 - Mar 2 with 3221 views | davblue | This is a good appointment for us at this current time. Hopefully will put to bed that we can't play 1 upfront and not be attacking that i've seen on here/twitter etc. | | | |
4231 then on 12:48 - Mar 2 with 3185 views | OhDavidMcgoldrick | I would say in the club at the moment that suit those parameters are KVY Downes Bishop Edwards Norwood Maybe Kenlock on recent form can continue to make the left side his own. I would be nervous about Judge continuing to operate in a free role within a Cook system though | |

Tend to agree — this feels like a time to get Jackson and Norwood up there together. | |

No Dozzell? What about the neglected youths? Dobra El Mizouni Lankester McGavin Wolfie is good enough if Cook can get his confidence back. He used to be able to pass the ball well. Judge still has plenty to offer the way he has been playing the last few matches as well. SB | |

If they’re both fit and interested then this is the way. They scored plenty of goals playing together when we ended up in this league until Lameberk went insane. Give me 442, give me Jackson and Norwood, give me Downes and Dozzell, give me Toto and Wilson. | |

4231 then on 12:57 - Mar 2 with 2952 views | Vic | We tick several of those boxes- Matheson, Kenlock and KYV Wolf I and Chambers Downes, Nolan, Dozell, Bishop, Dobra, El Miz Norwood, | |
| |
4231 then on 12:57 - Mar 2 with 2941 views | BlueBlood90 | If that's true then in my opinion Woolfy, KVY (when he's finally fit) and Flynn Downes are probably the only players who could fit into that style of system at present. | |

I definitely forgot Woolfie! | |

4231 then on 13:00 - Mar 2 with 2872 views | chrismakin | Having been players that we have. It wouldn't surprise me to see a 4.3.3 Norwood. Jackson. Parrott Downes. Bishope. Dozzell middle Matheson. Chambers. Wilson. Kenlock [Post edited 2 Mar 2021 13:00]

4231 then on 13:03 - Mar 2 with 2805 views | HighgateBlue | If it's /any/ kind of back four, I would say we simply have to pick our best CB pairing, and at the moment that has to be Nsiala and Wilson. | | | |
4231 then on 13:04 - Mar 2 with 2789 views | cbower | Maybe in the long term Joe with some judicious recruitment and squad culling in the summer. From now until the end of the season I hope he plays a system which suits our players instead of trying to shoehorn them to something they are not able to do. | |

I tend to think a good manager does what's needed with the stuff he inherits and then makes his evolution. Look at Arteta/Arsenal — pretty much sh6thoused his way to an FA Cup on a back three and no possession because, til a month or two ago, they just didn't have the tools. For the next two and a half months it is absolutely needs must — imagine Cook will know that. | |

4231 then on 13:07 - Mar 2 with 2741 views | RobTheMonk | Love that Kenlock is now arguably one of the first names on the team sheet. Got his head down and has taken his chance. | | | |
4231 then on 13:14 - Mar 2 with 2675 views | Bluefish | Full backs- chamber is incredibly fit for his age and has been excellent this season. Realistically though this Matheson and kenlock CBs - that is woolfenden. Toto, chambers and Mcguinees sit in the middle and Wilson is the other end of the spectrum Mobile - Bishop, dowmes and maybe Nolan. Dozzell getting better at that lately Anchor dozzell or downes Complete forward only really Norwood from what we have | |
| |
4231 then on 13:24 - Mar 2 with 2591 views | ElderGrizzly | And how many do we have to play those roles naturally? It looks a fairly good fit, although not convinced we have a No.9 to play how Cook wants to. | | | |
4231 then on 13:25 - Mar 2 with 2557 views | RedX | Hopefully he might take a look at Wigan's Tom Pearce as a summer signing. Cook brought him to Wigan. Cracking player. | | | |
4231 then on 13:30 - Mar 2 with 2498 views | IPSWICHFANITFC | Using your points as headers, in my opinion I see the following as options leaving room elsewhere: Full backs - Matheson, KVY Centre backs - Woolfenden, Chambers One destroyer/anchor - Downes (partnered with Dozzell) Mobile players - Judge, Harrop, Bishop, Dobra, Bishop, Thomas Complete forward - Norwood May have missed a couple out, but we glaringly miss the left sided full back who can get up and down. I think MK can do the job, but there's room to improve. | |

4231 then on 13:32 - Mar 2 with 2463 views | xrayspecs | Would stick with 4-4-1-1 for now. Wide players can push on but not quite 4-2-3-1. | | | |
4231 then on 13:36 - Mar 2 with 2406 views | Keaneish | We have all those in our squad in my view; the fact they’ve been under utilised and badly coached for years is another debate. | |
