If this has been talked about before just bin it.But is anyone else concerned about the quality of our friendlies this year.Also we are only playing four games.I just dont think its pushing the players hard enough.And boy do we need a decent start this year after our disastrous run in in the latter part of last season.A little worried already.  Plus this three at the back nonsense. |

It's three at the back as we only have one decent CB.

Rather we try at plan C in friendlies incase we have to adopt it. I went to the PNE game which when given time looked ok but under pressure we panicked a bit.
Hughes will know it as last resort formation if we have another lot of injuries.

do you reckon 3 at the back was more a reaction to who we were missing in the midfield/forward dept? A lack of Whelan and Allen meaning just Adam and Imbula for midfield, added to that no Shaq, Shobi and Walters. As I imagine they are all preferred certainly to crouch anyway. I seriously dont think he would play 3 CH's and the wing backs in order to leave out what would likely be one of those 5, with 1 of the midfield 2 playing instead of Adam.

The quantity worries me more than the quality as the quality is pretty good?
2 Championship clubs, an MLS club half way through their season and much fitter and sharper than we are and a Bundesliga side.
Not to be sniffed at.
But most teams seem to have 6 or 7 and we've got 4 and a training game on Monday vs Orlando B.
As for the formation I don't get that at all and even with the missing personnel we could still field a 4231 with putting one youth teamer in.

Plus this three at the back nonsense. Agree. Only 4 games before the season starts?  Our new players haven´t played a minute so far? Three at the back plus Johnson and Pieters in the midfield is nonsense for me too |
