Any chance we'll start 3-5-2 at Ipswich?

Any chance we'll start 3-5-2 at Ipswich?

There’s a chance of it because Ipswich have struggled against teams that play 3 CBs and wing backs. A quick scan shows the only team playing 5 defenders is Swansea. They’ve played Bristol, PNE, Charlton, Blackburn, Wrexham, Derby, Southampton and even Bromley. Whilst they’ve won 1 win in 9, they’ve only lost two games (PNE & Charlton) so if we did opt for that formation, it signals we’re happy with a draw.

The only issue I have is that a 3-4-3/5-3-2 involves taking out Eccles or Rudoni. Otherwise, it could be a good fit considering our walking wounded.

I could see a 3 at the back, let them have the ball and hit them on the break like Oxford did. Something like:

Rushworth
Thomas Woolfenden Kitching
MVE Torp Grimes Dasilva
Sakamoto Simms EMC

All depends who’s available

 

[SleepyGinger]

Could really do with Sakamoto to track the Leif Davis runs, MVE and Sakamoto vs Philogene and Davis is where it could be won or lost

 

[Johhny Blue]

I don't really get their reasoning for that.

We are.

I think theres quite a strong chance.

They have struggled all season. They are slow going forward and are never far from making a mistake at the back. They do get attempts on goal but need a goalscorer.

Whichever way we play we should be the better side. We're not flying for no reason. We should play to our strengths and to the best system for the players we have fit and not for our opponents. Their defence will struggle with our attacks whichever way we play.

Why are we worrying over Ipswich ?
They tried to save their “ better “ players last night , but had to put them on in the second half & were fortunate to get a draw at Blackburn .
They are a mess & nothing like the team that gained promotion , so it will be them that worry about us ……top of the league ….. 50 goals …… we will put them to the sword ……. Another 3 goals City
