any value in going to a back 3 08:51 - Aug 11 with 540 viewspositivity

while we are so short in the wide areas and the 3 behind the striker?

we've got loads of centre-backs, but with burns, clarke(h) & townsend all out and ogbene not fully fit, as well as the issues with hutch/broady/jaden and szmodics coming back from an injury

Poll: do you do judo and/or do you do voodoo?

Yes, we're going to throw almost 4 years work out the window to go to a back 3.

Poll: We’ve got super KM, he knows exactly what we need. Woolfie at the back…

I'd be very surprised. The Championship is moving away from 3atb systems and they don't really suit possession-heavy teams. Southampton looked pretty dreadful against Wrexham for example.

Poll: Preferred Lambert replacement?

only temporarily, whilst we don't have the personnel available.

we've played versions of a back three in the past few years, both from the start and in-game

Not sure it would have helped us on Friday? Defensive solidity wasn't our problem, ball progression was.

largely agree, but woolfy bringing it out and more progressive wing-backs may help that? our wingers didn't get in the game at all

Indeed. Surely Cajuste in for Taylor is a clear upgrade on that front. Cajuste and Azor need to build that partnership, and let's see if they can plug the Morsy-shaped gap in midfield.

The way we (try to) play, those central midfield two are so so important. I am longing for the day when we almost forget Morsy. For me that day seems a long way off right now, but with transfers coming through the door, and a good away point on the board, I choose positivity! (Today, at least...)

I don't see how putting less attacking players on the pitch is a positive thing for us. It's a no for me.

Our back 4 limited Brum to 3 shots on target in what i'm told was a brilliant, dominant display.

We can bring Chaplin in, although that leaves us short in the middle.

I'll be here all week, be sure to tip your waitresses.
