I don't get the obsession with formation. That, on it's own, means nothing. It's the system as a whole that counts; personnel, shape, pressing and passing styles, and so on. It's rather archaic to talk about 'formation' like it's the be-all and end-all.

Personnel
Pressing
Passing style
Shape ?
Formation ?

Seems to be getting results, still early days with players bedding in. Depends on opposition as well.
but we had to be more solid this season. I don't understand people who can't see passed 4-4-2

Shape and formation are two different things. Regardless, my point still stands.

Id like to see Jackson upfront with McQuoid / Nouble. The lack of pace worries me for a title challenge or promotion push. Haynes on the wing/wing back looks positive but Clarke isn't attacking enough for 5-3-2. As has been said being hard to beat is good against the top teams but we need to be score more goals against the bottom half. Like to see where Coulibaly fits in.

A bigger issue for me is how many loanees we're now carrying. We'll get them used to the system, used to playing with each other and used to what Pressley wants, and then they'll head back to their parent clubs and we're back to square one. Not necessarily a criticism as I expect us to benefit while they're here but I hope there will be permanent signings in January to address this.

Before tonight they hadn't won in 51 games. They get beaten silly every game, it wasn't just that they couldn't score it was the fact they failed to create a lot of chances. This was due to the restrictive attacking nature of the 5-3-2.

Are you sure it's not done to having Coleman as manager? Have you forgotten how negative we were under him? The football was dire....

Well I doubt if we'd leak too many goals if we pack the defence! :claping hands:

As bad as he was, our U21s could beat Andorra comfortably.

And yet England's first 11 struggled to beat them away from home a few years ago playing 442.

Yep like all those journalists that give their opinion on football, you of course need to have played/coached/managed to understand how the game works. May as well shut down the forum Nick. What I am saying is true, their is substantial evidence to back it up. If you disagree with me, tell me why instead of just making sarcastic comments.

Never said I knew best. I will keep writing, watching and learning about football thanks. Continue to sit on the fence.

I hated the formation and still do , but whilst we are keeping clean sheets and picking up points why change it , it feels as if its a choice between scoring lots of goals whilst losing , and remaining solid whilst picking up 1-0 wins or draws away from home
