Proof is in the pudding on this, we’re a far better side in terms of results too

Think it's obvious to most people with eyes. It's the same as last season when Biamou used to get hammered, as soon as he had McNulty alongside him we looked a lot better.
There isn’t really a debate to be had here about what formation to use.
Robins has mainly played 4-4-2 in the league, and has only really played 4-2-3-1 if we have unavailabilities i.e. Portsmouth. At the start of the season we were trying to figure things out and results have generally improved since we’ve found our best team, which is in a 4-4-2 system.
There isn’t anything wrong with experimenting in Cup games as he’s clearly done in the last two games. As we don’t really have an alternative if JCH or Chaplin get injured. The Walsall game offered some food for thought; Shipley played well behind JCH and made a lot of positive runs forward, for example. Our defence simply let us down on that occasion which was more individual errors as opposed to system failure.
What alternatives do we have if one of JCH or Chaplin gets injured? Hiwula is playing his best football on the left at this moment. Leaving Bakayoko, who certainly has a few question marks around him.
With Biamou out of the picture for the season, we may have to delve back into the market for a back target man — but let me make it clear that I’m satisfied with our options.
Should JCH be injured in the run up to this window or while it’s open for that we would 100% need a target man, we’ve no real like for like replacement in that respect, Bakayoko is the closest we have to being a bruit but isn’t that type.
If Chaplin was to breakdown then I’d be happy putting Hiwula up top with JCH, I’d also put Bakayoko up with JCH for that too.
We’re very reliant on JCH in being the physical edge in fact so I’d like us to get a target man in if a deal could be done.
What is double 6
We’re coventry city not Manchester cityLet’s just go balls to the wall and play a
2-2-6
I do seem to remember trying something like that in the dark and distant past (maybe against Southampton) Any better memories tha mine out thete?We’re coventry city not Manchester city
Add another loss to the isolated system. It did look at times that Chaplin was near him but other than that completely stranded.
Same when Bakayoko came on, get the ball and nobody at all near them.
People, help me out here. I don't know much about football.
Is there any transpostioning from one formation to another in football?
I don't mean the framework in going from defence to attack and visa versa but the manner one read games and sets out the positional array to be most effective against an opponent for any given moment in the game.
Is there a fluidity in football that allows to do this, or is the formation in football a rigid set of rules everyone works from?

It’s fluid. Obviously some teams/formations more fluid than others. And depending on the ability of the players to be in the right positions at the right time.
It’s common for example to move to a 433 from a 442 when chasing the game or a 451 when protecting a lead. Similarly you might overload attack early on or stack the back towards the end.
I thought so, I'll have a good guess the game is about geometry and space etc.
I remember, was it France in the World Cup(?), adopting a back three instead of a four when they had possession of the ball. The fourth extra player going elsewhere in the formation.
What I am trying to get at is; did the isolated striker gradually lead to two front players in the game which would resemble something of the attacking elements of a 442 formation when it was needed.
This is of course assuming the thread is correct and 442 has better attributes for scoring then the 4231 formation and it is worth the transposition into it.
