4-2-3-1 is apparently Cook's favoured formation.
Assuming Fraser is playing as the no.10 and Pigott as no.9 that means already that you would expect Bonne and Norwood to both be on the bench so what is the point of signing this Aluko bloke? Am I missing something? |  | | |  |

Aluko is also a winger and PC had already mentioned we’ll be changing our style, initially at least. We’ve played two up top a lot pre season. |  |

A starting 11 wont get us promoted so we need a strong albeit smaller squad.
Couple of injuries or suspensions and we would seem quite light. |  | | |

Preferred. Maybe unlike the last two managers he has a plan b?
Actually, not sure either of them had a plan a... |  |

Most of them play a couple of different roles, Norwood is really the only one that is going to solely lead the line. It marks a huge change from last season where if we were struggling for goals from Norwood, all we'd have to bring on would be Jackson, Hawkins or Drinan. Now we have the flexibility to drastically change the top of the pitch, mix up the style of play and cover ourselves when someone gets injured. It only seems weird because we've been so bare bones up top for so long. |  |

Ah, okay didn't realise he was also a winger.
I saw that Fraser is 100% starting tomorrow. Do you think he will play as a CAM? I think he has played some friendlies on the left so not sure which position Cook will start him. | | | |

Beg to differ. Maybe you're not getting it. | | | |

I think pretty much all of them can play somewhere in the three behind the lone striker. Or as part of a two if we go that way. |  |

I guess we will find out tomorrow who the first choice attackers are. At the moment it's guesswork. It's just that I'm impatient and want to know now. | | | |

Most people seem to be forgetting that we aren't trying to build a whole new starting eleven. We are trying to build a whole new squad. |  |

All the same it would be nice to know if Cook had a preferred starting 11 if all the players are fit and who they are. Difficult to know his thought process. | | | |

The fact you don't know means we have genuine options. We haven't played a game yet. It's not like Cook has picked a different front four for the last 10 games. | |

Even better
If we dont know. The papers dont know.
Then those managers who try to work out how to stop us wont even know. | |

I would imagine he has a fair idea. More importantly though is that we are a big club in this division, And big clubs have like for like replacements throughout the squad in the event of injuries or loss of form.
In the past, if Norwood was injured then his replacement was Hawkins or Drinan. By the time Cook has finished his recruitment, a series of injuries or suspensions shouldn't weaken the team. | |

Yeah. Hawkins and Drinan. Didn't exactly fill you with confidence when their names were on the teamsheet. Like for like replacements now will be equally as good so the whole squad should be effective.
I'm glad we don't have to see Skuse or Huws named in the side again now as well. | | | |

I hope you get it now.
Last season at 2-1 down we would have brought on Aaron Drinnan and Ollie Hawkins. Today we bring on Norwood and Bonne. | |

Yeah, well, it worked out very well this time. Norwood assist and Bonne goal.
But if we're going to use attackers as impact subs in future then I think that they need to come off the bench earlier. Norwood and Bonne only got the last 12 minutes of the game and they should have been given more time on the pitch in my opinion. | | | |
