So the 3-5-2, 5-3-2 business isn't, errr, doing the business.
So with the players we have at our disposal, what formation would you be gunning for if you were given the choice?
For me, 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. Let's also assume we have full fitness in the squad with no injury problems.
I'd be interested to see everyone's choices and proposed line-ups.

Puts a lot on the fullbacks to get forward and on Pearson to cover when they do.

4231 Sarkic Sterling Tuanzebe Wilmot Fox Pearson Baker Campbell Powell Celina Tezgel I think you and Pirate are pretty much thinking the same as me. Albeit, I would have Laurent in I think over Baker on yours, and Wilmot in over Jags in Pirate's team. |

However, I’ve gone over this a lot already. Bonham will likely still be a No2 next season, Sarkic will be back at whoever we loaned him from. |

When everyone's fit:
4-3-3
Sarkic
Sterling
Taylor
Tuanzebe
Tymon
Pearson
Laurent
Baker
Campbell
Gayle
Celina
I wouldn't be averse to a 4-2-3-1 though, in which case I'd probably bring in Powell for one of Baker or Laurent.

Quite like this one but would play Brown before Gayle, we have no ideal CF but Brown at least puts defenders under pressure and scores a few. Gayle is clearly an intelligent player but never looks as though he will score again intentionally |

Methinks most of our players couldn't play in any formation, they just ain't very good footballers.
They maybe good at playing in a kick around in the local park.

We are probably playing 5 at the back now because Neil wants to create a team thats tough to beat and because Jagielka's slow and not dominant in the air.
Until we have a better fit centre back to partner a shaky Wilmott it's hard to move away from 5-3-2.
I've not been impressed by Hoever so far and id like to see Baker in the team, so id be tempted to try Thompson at LWB.
Now:
Sterling, Wilmot, Jagielka, Fox, Thompson
Baker, Laurent, Smallbone
Brown, Powell/Gayle/Tezgel.
Keen to get Tezgel getting lots of minutes as sub because Powell wont be here after the summer and Gayle shouldn't be.
When everyone is fit:
Sterling, Wilmot, Tuanzebe, Tymon
Pearson, Laurent
Smallbone, Baker, Celina
Brown

433 or 4231.
Persisting with wing-backs when they offer very little in terms of attacking threat is getting tiresome.

If all are fit
Sarkic

Tuanzebe
Tymon
Pearson
Laurent
Brown IF
Celina no.10
Campbell IF
Gayle poaching
If gayle didn't get any goals in that system after 4 games I'd roll the dice and play Tezgel for the rest of the year.

There is very little unanimity about any position apart from just about everyone picking Pearson who hasn't even kicked a ball.

Sarkic Hoever Jags Wilmot Sterling Pearson Baker Campbell Celina Tymon* Tezgel * Id try him as more of a winger than a full back i just think he is better going forward than defending, Him and Sterling could compliment each other ** Cant remember how many loans you are allowed in a team Think we've tried tymon there before and it didn't work? Or maybe it was 4-3-3. I think it was tried midgame sometimes too. In the Barnsley game last year we were 5-3-2 in defence and then 4-3-3 in attack with tymon as the left forward. TBF it took him a while to learn wingback so it could just he's not used to it but I think of 4-2-3-1 as inside forwards and he doesn't have that ability to cut inside and be lethal too. |

None of us have any idea how close Tuenzebe or Pearson are to actually playing, if it runs into 2/3 weeks then that is unacceptable deadline day business.

I think its safe to say people don't watch Smallbone My teenage kid plays in a developmental, competitive coached league down here. Watching yesterday (at the game) his observation was that Smallbone was nowhere near the worst player for us. |

He was probably MOM but actually for the creative midfielder he is meant to be, what the hell did he create? He struggled to find Stoke players quite regularly too. |
