Noone---Whitts---Dikgacoi---Daehli

---------Guerra------Macheda--------

Bench: Moore, Cala, John, Pilkington, Adeyemi, Jones, Le Fondre

I'll reserve judgement until after the break but Whitts won't be in, nor Le Fondre.

Happy to have Jones and Macheda up front with Guerra just behind.

Pace and trickery through midfield protected by two solid holding players .

Pace and power up front

Two holding midfielders protecting the back three

Don't know why I went for 2 of the same mould up front but both seem to be amongst the goals.

Narrow 4-4-2 Diamond with The width coming from the Fullbacks. This will have us flood the central midfield areas and hopefully dominate possession. Same formation that Liverpool played yesterday.

----------------Marshall
Brayford-Morrison-Manga-Fabio
----------------Dikagcoi
-------Adeyemi---------Ralls

---------Guerra--------Macheda

Jones to come off the bench with 30-40 minutes remaining to batter tired CB's.
Noone and Pilkington on the bench as well to give an otion of going to 4-3-3 if required and can change the game plan to use wingers and crosses to the Big man

Strongest team id say. Maybe narrow the midfield into a diamond and put Dæhli behind the front two.

Would people really put two CDM's at CM in a 4-4-2? Hmmmm.

For Norwich it might not be a bad idea they have started really well and Grabban is in serious form 5 in 5. Would allow more attack minded, Noone/Pilkington/Dæhli would be able to push forward as well as the full backs to support the front two.

Basically how Dave Jones played, but without the full backs.

Yeah and allow a lot more freedom to the fullback and wide players. Adeyemi can be more box to box as well.

In a flat 4 I just see it being a scrappy affair with no creativity.

It's what Dave Jones did very little creativity came from central midfield, McPhail, Olofinjana, Whitts, Rae, Ledley all had to sit in front of a back four almost as extra defenders sometimes. But then Ramsey bucked the trend because he was simply too good to play like that really.

But Dave Jones' creativity came from the wings, Burke, Bellamy, Koumas, Routledge, Whitts, McCormack all great wingers during his reign.

Can't wait for Noone to come back, Pilkington loves coming into central, needs to stick to the formation and position.

Like this although would swop Connolly for Brayford.
When we haven't got the ball that defensive back 5 would be solid enough.
Noone and Pilkington providing the width.
Daehli controlling the show with Guerra feeding off Jones's flick ons.
