Just thinking that hussey is not peforming not that good I thought a 3-5-2 might work
Murphy/dunn
Keogh mcpake/wood/cameron craine
Clingan deegan
Thomas bigirimana bell/baker

Juke Mcdonald
But then leaves no options on the bench thoughts

Clingan and deegan would need to sit so deep!
3 at the back in this league against the likes of west ham, we would get torn apart, I like the idea of 5-3-2 with keogh and hussey/christie bombing forward?

Well that's 12 players for a start mate. Not sure the league would allow that, not matter how poor we are.

Carl Baker as a wing-back? Suddenly Chris Hussey seems a godsend.

Our FOUR defenders cannot defend properly so why would three!!!!

Hi fellas.
Why change the shape? the current format seems to be working quite well, and with more of the same effort we put in against a good Blackpool side, I'm sure our luck will change for the better, and the wins will come.
I thought Andy Thorn made good use of his subs, and with Platt now fit again it gives us another alternative to ring the changes up front, but having said all that I do agree its helpful if we can apply a plan B.

Have a nice day....TankTop..Tropical Bedworthshire :wave:

He's deleted mcsheffery from the tip of diamond, where there is a big gap between midfield and strikers.

I'm not sure about 3 at the back - even with 4 we are giving away too many sloppy/last minute goals.

3-5-2 will work at certain times against certain teams. Might have been good against Ipswich where they had a good midfield. Maybe Christie as one of the players in midfield and ready to defend when needed, lets say near the end of the game when we are having most goals against us. If we had two playing out wide that can defend as well as get forward then it could do us well. Already having 3 in defence and the extra two to help could help our defence, but only if the players are disiplined. Taking Christie out of defence would give him more chance to get forward without leaving a gap when he is up front. Struggling to think of who we have that could do the same job on the left wing though.

4 3 1 2, its the formatuion we played last season, and its thee formation we reverted to on Tuesday, once we did that Blackpool found us a whole different proposition.
