Play like we can and we’ve nothing to fear here.

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

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
