5-3-2 was the system I assumed we would use this season given the squad which was assembled.

532/352 Hancox lwb, hunter rwb Pollock, Rawlo, Burke the 3 cbs Bainbridge the enforcer in midfield Weeks/Glendon plus one other in the CM role Caton/Peers/Willougby plus a targetman 3 CB for me would be Woodthorpe (left), Pollock (centre), Burke (right). Agree with your full/wing backs. Roberts as a DM in front of the 3 CB, Bainbridge and Weeks CM, Caton and Willoughby up top (playing close to each other) |

Personally I'd pick Mason at the moment. Harrison may have a great career but we're not playing well enough for his sweeper keeper stuff to work right now. |

Much of a muchness in the GK department, Harrison maybe deserves a rest now Mason is fit again. We cant play Glendon and Weeks in same midfield, and we need a loanee in maybe in the middle and need to find a big tall targetman from somewhere higher up on loan for a couple of months to give us a plan b |

Get Burke in midfield alongside Bainbridge for a bit of solidity. Actually let Hunter get forward. Give Hancox a run at left back - he’s more than solid enough. Let’s get Glendon closer to the goal - we know he can score goals. Ideally I’d like Willoughby up top but we haven’t got the personnel for it right now and we know he can play out wide, and has won promotion doing so. Get in the market for a centre forward which would transform our team. DMH off the bench to cause an impact in the second half.

Formations are obviously important but I believe the big issue is the combination and type of player we have.

Really need to change the system as all clubs have sussed us out as a negative team that try to control game waiting for an opening instead of trying to create one and then maybe lose possession.
I'll go 3 up top all within 5m of each other (Caton,Peers,Willoughby), 1 behind the 3 (Daly or Weeks), 3 centre backs (Bainbridge,Burke,Hancox), 3 backs (Hunter, Rawlinson, Woodthorpe). Burke will be a roaving player between centre and back depending how the game plays out, up to captain on day how the game is going to decide. Confidence wise I'll stay with Harrison.

Yeah, your 3-3-1-3 system will solve the width problems, Jesus. When have we created anything from width. The opposition will not use overlapping full backs (seen it so many times this year it causes us real problems with being so negative) because they will be defending our 3 strikers. Everyone is saying we need a centre forward (Richie Bennett). How about 3 centre forwards interactive with each other. Plan B bring on Dylan Mottley-Henry and change the system. Totally confuse the opposition what system we play. We can't keep the system we have now. Negative Negative Negative. Or do you want to keep our system we play. |

You’ve also got Hunter in a back three - suicide. You’ve got three holding midfielders, one in front of them and still a front three with two having to go wide. The alternative in your mind is we don’t go wide at all and play an even narrower 3-3-1-3 with three forwards on each others toes. That would be horrendous to watch.
My solution is to play the players in their best bloody positions. FIVE THREE FUCKING TWO.

More like a 424 when going forward
Hunter Rawlinson Pollock Woodthorpe
Burke Bainbridge
Peers Glendon Caton
Willoughby
Having the 2 sat in will give Glendon the chance to play without defensive responsibilities or starting deep.
You could put Weeks in there but Glendon has one final shot in a position he thrives.

Some interesting choices here, for me it shows that we lack depth in centre mid this season resulting in it being difficult to get alternative formations sorted.

No real issue with 5-3-2 in principle but every time I watch Hunter he seems to want to come inside which isn’t going to work if he’s the sole person on the right providing width

Hunter shits himself if he's got to progress further up the line, just comes inside all the time. Not a long term solution for me. |
