I could see us going very attacking
Going 4, 3, 3
LATS, Thomas, Kitching, Bidwell
MVE, Eccles , Torp,
Simms Godden Wright
I could see us going very attackingI'm skeptical about wingbacks with this squad. In the absence of wingers, could we look at maybe a diamond formation or a 4312?

It sounds like we do have some promising academy players like Andrews, Stretton etc but I don't think Maidstone is the match to blood them, or if so only as subs if all is going well.Is Saka out for the season then? I’m sure last time I checked in here it was a bruised bum and he’ll be right as rain, just after his career shattering pelvic injury of course.
We could always play the original front three of Wright Godden and Simms. Or stick Palmer out wide. Shame we’ve not got anyone from the academy. In days gone by this would be the time we’d all get overly excited about an Ashley Cain or Liam Davis.

Could we push mve forward into that Saka role?!

Dare I say Dasilva could play there…We have no wingers now

Yes it didn't work last season..I think people saying our season over is a bit over the top at this stage. However, if we go to five at the back it might as well be the case.
You would be better off going on the club official site rather than on here or the Coventry Telegraph ,(which just regurgitates what is on here anyway)Is Saka out for the season then?

That was with entirely different players more suited to that system. As was proven in the first half of the season it won't work with the current personnelYes it didn't work last season..
5 at the back is a shocking idea. It's what didn't work in the first half of the season.
Well saidBut what got us from League 2' to the Championship. Just like any system, it is only as good as the players in it. Sometimes you also have to play the system that suits the players available. Also set up for the opposition.
What wasn't working at the start of the season was players finding their way with each other and the staff finding their way with players?
Building a football team and squad is not an exact science. Otherwise it would be available discounted in the Aldi aisle of dreams.
There were a few other factors in play, such as they were a new team finding their way. While I agree the current formation is the ideal with a fully for squad, which players do you think would be taken out of their comfort zone by us reverting to 532?5 at the back is a shocking idea. It's what didn't work in the first half of the season.
Think we've got thing we could try with the front three.
Palmer playing wide. Possibly Simms wider and Godden playing? Tavares on occasion?
Not saying I'm particularly enamoured with those choices, but I'm even less enthused about returning to a back 3 and wing backs.
Called it after 25 mins??After last night still no idea how we are going to approach the rest of Season. MVE didn't work as a right winger proves it.
No goalie might leave us exposed.Thomas, Binks, kitching
Mve.........................Bidwell
Eccles, torp
Ohare, Palmer
Simms/Wright
Yes… running keeper….Like when I was a kid playing and Ben the local fat kid who always had to go in goal has been grounded and can’t come out after school and one of the teams is a man down!! The game had to be played 22 versus 21 kidsNo goalie might leave us exposed.
