We've got to get rid of Harris im sorry this is absolutely dire to watch.

The midfield wont play a forward pass leading to glatzel having to come short constantly not going into the channels no wonder we never stretch teams, full backs are non existent offer nothing why not just play 3 at the back bacuna can then go into midfield atleast he will give us some drive going forward people moaning about pack the guy has no movement in front of him what do you want him to do? making mistakes becuase he has to try and force the play constantly :banghead: :banghead:

So who defends against the opposition wingers then?

So Ojo and Wilson are gonna always be forward? That seems like a 3-3-4 to me.

The centre backs?

We played wing backs very successfully against Southampton in the premier league. Really liked it and having three in centre midfield without isolating the striker worked nicely.

Paterson was right wing back that day. Suited him down to the ground.

I think it could work with.

Smithies.

Benkovic
Morrison
Nelson

Whyte rwb
Bennett lwb

Bacuna
Vaulks
Tomlin/ralls

Wilson
Moore/Glatzel

Oh for a player like Roberts.

It was just after Sala died and Warnock seemed to change. Played wing backs v Arsenal away and we had a load of chances. Same v Southampton. Looked like we were gonna stay up.

352, is the same as 532..... the difference is, in a 532, you have a flat back 5, in a 352 you play with wing backs.
