for the Southmpton game.

i get it we are at home, but would we look more solid with

Oshea woolf greaves in the back line with davis and johnson as wing backs?

I'm not sure McKenna would ever do that at home.
I fully expect 4-2-3-1

We looked solid enough at Birmingham, our issue was more our own attacking patterns of play not getting going. Changing system isn't going to help that.

I dont think KM has fielded 3 CBs to my recollection?

He did a few times last season, Greaves/Burgess, Woolf, and O'Shea. Especially when Axel was injured. When we played Axel at right back we flexed between a back 3 and back 4. The shape has always been pretty fluid to be fair, Donacien often used to tuck in as a third CB when McKenna first came in.

I may have made this up in my head

But at one point, did we have Oshea at RB, Wolfy cb next to burgess with greaves LB

not saying a full game or anything but did that happen towards an end of a game once,



It's enitrely plausible that I have absolutely imagined this

We played three at the back against Arsenal, Fulham, and Chelsea. It was a more conventional back three rather than the flexible way we've always played under McKenna where the right back can tuck in as a third CB when needed.

Played some of our better football with three across the back.

With no Burgess: Woolf, O'Shea & Greaves will work well

Can't see it.

Interesting one Sunday for the midfield. I thought we were beaten up there at Birmingham, not sure Southampton is going to be any easier against Downes & Charles. Big one for Matusiwa & Taylor.

It wont happen but you know what I'd do

Matusiwa Taylor and Humphreys 3 man midfield

Two tacklers and allow Humpreys the freedom to roam and pop those lovely balls across the pitch, put balls into the box etc



Chappers front right
hirst middle
sammy front left

4 3 3

Not sure this is the time to be experimenting with a different formation and picking a side with almost no pace.

Fair

Alto, I can't say I see much less pace in that than the ones we've had so far this season, ogbene's half fit and clarkes not that quick.

Both are direct and can go past a man and give us a threat on the counter. They can carry the ball up the pitch too. Nobody in your suggested team offers that, it looks really unbalanced.
