I don't think 4-4-2 would work with our team either. Or any formation with these players in the top division but I'm not against trying it, but Wilder won't.Mine would be 4-4-2

TBH Gav, I had half an eye on next season mate!I don't think 4-4-2 would work with our team either. Or any formation with these players in the top division but I'm not against trying it, but Wilder won't.
You need 2 eyes on it!TBH Gav, I had half an eye on next season mate!
Based on who is fit nowMine would be 4-4-2

I like the line up, but why assume that Verrips is any good and / or better than Foderingham ?Y'say 5-3-2 'not working any more'?
Glad people are agreeing, finally. Everyone's preferred lineup is 5-3-2, despite it being fundamentally at the heart of our fucking woefulness.
Anyway. From the players at the club, if fit

Key play in that is Berge and Basham in the centre who move up the pitch to make a 4-1-3-2 in attack then back into a 5-3-2 when defending. Because we haven't got a centrally advancing CDM (which Basham could easily play) we tend to go for the flanks instead of the centre.

Like it. 19 games left - 10 draws packing the box ? 15 points in total and beat Derby's record11-0-0

it would in one way but teams have stopped our wing backs getting forward its too easy to play against im afraidSurely if we had everyone (O'Connell) fit then 5-3-2 would work a lot better than it currently is doing.
If he is injured then he will be useless.If he is fit them why not on the bench.Hey, c'mon. You act as though the last dozen matches with Ramsdale never happened.
I'd take Verrips because hey, what can go wrong other than he flaps at crosses, drops easy catches or spoons it up in the air.
If he's shit, then we try Fodders. If he's shit, Moore-o. If he's shit, I'll get me gloves.

I wouldn't change our system because our players aren't suited to/good enough to play a back 4 at this level.Wilder would not change the system as it would be an admission of his mistake.
He would be terrified of us doing well as the PlayStation managers suggest

I mentioned 4-3-1-2 in November. I just think minus O'Connell you cut your losses and park 3-5-2 for a while.Whilst I would have slightly different personnel in a couple of positions , I agree wholeheartedly with the 4-1-3-2 formation as being the way forward and it is something I have advocated for a long time .
This is a system which has been tried and tested across the whole of Europe by many teams and with great success in a lot of cases .
I’ve never been Gary Neville’s greatest fan but he said very early in the season that our system was one of the easiest to counter and subsequent events have proved him to be right . Even Wilder himself has admitted that , for it to be successful , every single player has to at the top of his game and giving 100% every match .
For a large portion of last season that was the case , resulting in our extraordinary and unexpected success but towards the back end of last season and for the whole of this disastrous one , it has been blatantly obvious that this is not sustainable in the long term and is clearly no longer the case .
That being so , surely logic dictates that rather than persisting with a methodology that require a group of relatively ordinary players to produce extraordinary performances week in and week out , a different one is required which makes allowances for their limitations . This is an approach which Sean Dyche has been successfully pursuing for a number of years without being described as a ‘tactical genius’ but with an end result which puts our feeble efforts this year to shame .
