It's been an eventful January and league position aside if you look at todays squad compared to the one he inherited, on paper it looks a job well done, summer will be massive though If we don't go up, we're back to square one with what I assume is a tiny budget. Failure to go up and a poor window could easily see us pushing for mid table, we just have to believe he knows what he's doing and to be fair on the whole the types of players we are getting in lately is encouraging. We really need Bursik to come strong now, I'd have let him finish the season getting more games on loan myself

I’ve liked the look of THB in the last two games tbh. I think the front players will rotate generally. But that’s our best combo. Brown is best as a sub. DWP the only winger we have bar JPB so should get some time there. |

I appreciate this thread is about our ‘best’ team, and I’d agree with going for a back four, but…
Jagielka
Wilmot
Harwood Bellis
Moore
Chester
Five centre halves, with one being brought in yesterday, points towards MON wanting to use a back three with wing backs to me.

I can't see it any other way and with all that he still hasn't solved the problems we have with this squad if that's his aim. |

An almost fully fit Bursik is a much better bet than either Bonham, Fielding or Blondy. |

I would include Brown in the games where high energy pressing needed, especially while Maja gets match ready. Vrancic is clearly a great midfielder but might need to rotate with Allen and Thompson too. But in terms of a side I'd like to go and watch, Bayern's one is pretty close. Our reserve XI quite decent: Bonham Duhaney Wilmot Moore Fox Clucas/Thompson Sawyers Allen Brown Fletcher DWP/Sima  |

The wide men in a front 3 aren't really wingers - they are really second strikers. Last season when Campbell was playing well before his injury he played both on the left and the right of the central striker (Fletcher) in various games. No one claimed he was a winger - he was clearly a second striker - or wide forward if you prefer that term. Recently both SWP and JPB have played as second strikers or wide forwards, not wingers - I would expect they will continue to feature in those positions (rotating with Campbell) probably with Maja as the central striker. |

Bursik
Wilmot Jagielka THB
Smith Allen Baker Tymon
Powell
Maja Brown
Subs Bonham Moore Thompson Vrancic DWP JBP Campbell.
The forwards are the most difficult to choose. Depending on form and fitness it could be any combination of 2 in this system. or 3 with wingers/wide forwards from 5 (6 with Fletcher)

I think I'd go for something similar to what we had in the 2nd half of the Huddesfield game. Bursik Smith -- Jagielka -- THB -- Tymon Allen Baker ----- Powell Campbell ------------------- JBP Maja

Bursik Smith Jagielka THB Tymon Baker Vrancic Campbell Powell JPB Maja Subs: Bonham Wilmot Allen Sawyers DWP Brown Fletcher You’ve been chubbing your arse off all day yesterday and you then give us a starting eleven with a front four which looks, to me at least, as good as anything in the league. Maybe the window wasn’t such a disaster after all? |

DWP should build on the success he's already had playing centrally. Playing him as a winger - when we often don't use wingers - is a major step backwards. JPB shouldn't play as a winger either We’ve got enough players centrally for him not to feature there and given he is actually a winger or a wide forward let’s use him there. Where does it say that "he is actually a winger"? Just because he played his first few matches for the u23s as a winger, because we had Varian and Norton central and wide left, doesn't mean he is doomed to play there forever, does it? It didn't take Rooster long before he realised DWP was better centrally and the goals kept flowing. I'm not sure we have a better instinctive and intelligent central striker with pace and a great eye for goal than DWP, not in the short long term anyway. I don't expect DWP will be here for many years, but he'll be here longer than the Villa loanee - unless we're already planning to sell him in the summer. Granted I don't know the exact formation we'll be playing and who does what of the new players, but I do know that DWP is more an Ian than a Shaun of that clan. |

The problem when we use "wide" players is that they get saddled with defensive tasks, meaning they are short when it comes to forward work. Who's SWP? |

Bursik Edwards THB Jagielka Tymon Baker Sawyers JBP Powell DWP Maja I'm with you, gk though is a spot without an outstanding candidate atm. Swap Sawyers for Varancic too. Get Powell right up there with Maja, DWP and phill&Jean. Let's not write Campbell off as CF just yet either, he's a goalscorer in the making |

There's one thing for sure, at this stage of the season, No matter what formation we play, we need to Go for broke, certainly at home. The defence may not be the strongest, but we must have the firepower to worry most teams in this league.

An almost fully fit Bursik is a much better bet than either Bonham, Fielding or Blondy. Which says how dodgy we are in that department, Bursik really started to tail off, GK isn't really a position you can let a player develop, I much prefer seasoned keepers but with a decent track record, good clubs and standard of football behind them, Been there and done it types, im sure defensders do too. I'd have sent Bursik out on loan for more experience, there is plenty of time for him. I'm not keen on our gk options at all at present infact imo weakest area of the squad |

.....................Bursik.......................

.....................Baker........................
.............Powell.........Vrancic..............
Campbell............Maja...............SWP......
Subs from: Bonham, Moore, Smith, Tymon, Sawyers, Allen, Thompson, Clucas, Brown, Fletcher, JPB. Against the better teams I'd probably have a midfield formation like this instead:
........Allen..........Baker......
..............Powell..............
