4-4-2 !

Time for change! 1 striker up front just isn't working! Campbell always runs his bollocks off but that's all he can do! I don't understand why we don't play Fraizer and Cornelius, or even Maynard!

Odemwingie isn't a striker, he's a winger! Malky really baffles me on times!

I don't think 4-4-2 will work . Most teams play with a lone striker and 5 in midfield , the difference is they use 2 out and out wingers as the wide men in the 5 to support the striker , we use pretty slow defensive midfielders like cowie or playmakers like kimbo out of position where they are obviously not comfortable .
Playing 4-4-2 will leave us getting overrun in midfield IMO . Teams who play with a classy number 10 will have a field day if we get outnumbered . It's not the formation it's the players used and tactics asked for in that formation that is the problem .
