I know he’s ridiculously stubborn and at this point, after all the Mike Bassett messages of ‘THIS IS THE SYSTEM. WE STICK TO IT’, I’d borderline lose respect for him if he goes back on it. This is the bed he’s made for himself unfortunately. But I’m just asking why we can’t play a back four, he can even point to the myriad of injuries as an excuse for going against the grain and adapting.

I think that provides overlaps, cover on the wings going backwards (4 fullbacks on the pitch!) and attacking threat. The two centre halves compliment each other, amps doing the running, jags talking him through the game (when egan’s back he’s in for jags).
I’ve been wanting us to do this for about 18 months, basham’s been our best player for me, but having him on the bench in this system means you can bring him on at 55 and completely turn the system on it’s head. The winners of games this season seems to be defined on who makes the best changes at 55/60 and which teams adapts to those changes, and I feel like our plan A is so tired and contrived, and we don’t have a plan B. If we went with this system til the end of the season we’d catch out so many teams that have worked us out.
Am I insane in this logic? Show your working.
