After listening to post and pre match interviews it seems highly likely that we’re sticking to our 5/3/2 formation. I absolutely thought some sort of tweak would have been implemented this season to progress the team. Alas that tweak hasn’t materialised and it’s more of the same. Unfortunately the key components in this style of play (WB’s and CB’s) are either woefully out of form and worse still... out injured for the rest of the season!
Do we keep trying to fit square pegs into round holes for the sake of the system. Or do we use the best players at our disposal in their preferred roles?
Maybe a 4/3/3 is too drastic and probably won’t be entertained. But I think a number 10 should be greatly considered.
The free flowing football I’ve become accustomed to over the past few years has been replaced with slow over cautious dawdling... and worst still... hoofball up to McB!
Granted every good team is built on a solid defence. But god we need to show more energy and determination further up the pitch!
Our creative players at the club at the minute are Berge, Didzy, Burke and Norwood. These players need to be on the pitch more often than not if we’re gonna get our mojo back.
