Do you think we need to start with a 3 5 2 we seemed to get cut open thru the middle in first half
We switched to 352 at the end and had more possession, i know they tired a bit but it gives Salech support with either Isaac or Robbo with him and gives us extra in midfield.

Good point, it's definitely an option.

Its crazy, from worrying about centre halfs at the start of the season, Fish, Ohno, and Lawlor would be perfect in a 3. Lots of mobility and pace as all 3 look quality.
I don't think we have wingers, so wingbacks would suit.
It would be great to have 2 different ways of playing so teams would have to guess.

I think a 3-5-2 could suit us well it would allow Robinson to play off Salech so he's not so isolated
And it would mean we could still keep a midfield trio of Wintle Robertson and rubin
Our wingers are all youngsters so should have no problem getting up and down the pitch to help the back 3 as needed
And having a trio of lawler fish and osho should be a formidable barrier to stop most attacks

I think this formation would be great…. I think Ashford would be great playing off Salech, not Robinson.
Osho Fish Lawler
Kapakio Joel Rubin Robertson Bagan
Salech Ashford

Chambers might also be better as part of 3 centre backs.
4 players who could play off Salech:
Kellyman
Davies
Robinson
Ashford
