I’m not a fan of 532 at all, especially at home. But away at Norwich I could possibly see a case for it and our players would fit in to it quite well.
I think the key to it would be getting some creativity in to the midfield 3.
A 3412 with Junho as the one advanced in midfield behind Wesley and Campbell for example could work well. The problem seems to be more with having 3 box to boxers in the middle who are too samey and leaving the two up front isolated.

Why be scared of anyone in this league though?
Playing 3 at the back suggests we’re scared.
There’s no one to be scared of in this league, just yourselves. It’s wank.

If we get firing up front, maybe. But the way we've just given goals away, year on year, as teams cut through us like a knife through butter, I can understand managers getting the fear. I'm just hopeful our umpteen new offensive and attacking midfield players mean we don't have to worry about that any more..

I think we need to be more offensive and take the game to them. In their previous game, Rotherham showed that Norwich don’t like a physical team getting in their faces. For me, an attacking 4-3-3:
G- Travers
RB - Hoever CD - Rose CD - McNally LB - Gooch CDM - Pearson AM - Burger AM - Bae LW - Vidigal RW - Léris FWD - Wesley
That team can frustrate and break them down a bit, but also give guile and dynamism. As this strategy starts to pay off, take the game to them and gradually move to a 4-3-1-2 with the following subs:
Mmaee 🔁 Wesley Campbell 🔁 Léris Junior 🔁 Hoever Hakšabanović 🔁 Vidigal

I couldn’t be anymore excited by Bae but I think we ease him in a bit. He’s settling in to a whole new culture, language and team at 20.
If all fit:
—————————-Travers
—Gooch —McNally —— Wilmot —— Stevens
———————— Pearson
——————- Burger Johnson
———-Leris ——————————Vidigal
———————- Wesley

I’ve said it before but if he reverts to a 5 back he’s not the man for the job.
I’m off the Alex Neil express if he comes up with that gutless toss again, it’s never worked for us as a club and it’s absolutely turgid and we fucking lose anyway when playing it so what’s the point?.

Or yer know, some defenders that can defend It would help! Especially from set pieces, but defending is a team discipline especially these days. The best defence we had was Pulis time, where it was basically everyone but Ricardo - watching us get into shape as soon as we lost the ball was a thing of beauty (often a fairly low bar at that time). I do think we have an abundance of forward talent, let's see if they can score against anyone but Rotherham on a regular basis. Then the whole you score 4 we score 5 Keeganball might kick in...

Not my preferred set up but it's not necessarily overly defensive and we don't always lose but other than that your "facts" are spot on.

Whichever team we pick, it must be one that goes for the 3pts.
If we go there for a draw, we will come unstuck, you can see Norwich scoring at least 1 goal, so we have to go with a plan to score at least 2 goals, if not more.

Norwich 3-1Stoke. All of my confidence in AN has evapourated. He is going through the same salesmans patter week in week out. His tactical nouse is none existant. He will not change, stubborn to the end. We will finish 5th from bottom at best.

If he plays four at the back they will pick us off easily, whereas a five might see us more solid defensively but the forwards will be feeding off scraps 🤷♂️ My opinion is that 4 at the back can be more solid than the 5 We have been poor at 5 because the 2 wing backs push up and leave space, therefore one of the Centre halves has to cover leaving holes for the opposition midfield to exploit. Pulis made a living out of a flat back 4 and where I am not condoning that it does also give you an extra man up field and cover provided by Pearson and possibly Burger, with 5 at the back I always feel we lose the midfield battle and invite pressure and diagonal balls I just think if we have spent what we have on attack minded players like Bae, Johnson, Vidigal, Wesley, Haksobanovic and Mmaee, to win games like these they need to be on the pitch (appreciate you cant play them all) and not trying to avoid defeat by reverting back to a formation that we are frankly shite at and then lose 1-0 etc

We were a good away side towards the end of last season, can't see why we can't get back to that, easily beat or bested 3 of the play off sides. And supposedly we have better players this season. Smallb one was wank apparently.
