I agree with this. Def 442 for me. I know it's not worked so far this season but there are two reasons 1 we now have the forwards to do it with 2 williams being out
For me its his constant checking inside and back, off loading to Lindsay when he has space in front of him to advance.

A see this game against wolves as a bit of a free hit regarding getting any points from it so for me we might aswell go for it and play 2 up front. Nowt to lose. UTR
Glad to see some other fans also want to see 2 up front. Going with 1 up front is taking us down, especially if its Bradshaw in that role. Id definitely give Moore some game time tomorrow, even if its only as a half time sub.

442 has been much less successful this season unfortunately. Pretty sure we haven't won a game with 2 up front.
But it also doesn't help when we're changing our formation far too often, from one match to the next sometimes. Ive never been a fan of just 1 striker up front in a team by the way, this isn't just an overnight thing Ive decided.
If we are playing 442 Bradshaw must start up top with Moore. Thiam might look good poncing around 40 yards from goal but a striker he is not. Especially one who can get on the end of balls into the box
Nothing against 551 system like you say we've won more points playing like that . Just think tmoz nobody in the country expects us to get a result and possibly if we're honest nobody on this forum does so let's go for it stranger things have happened.
Agree, need to see Bradshaw with a decent partner, but I think you're being a bit harsh on Thiam, as he also deserves the opportunity to play alongside someone as well. When Bradshaw has games when he runs around a lot but doesn't get a sniff at goal, people put it down to poor service, so I think it's a bit harsh to say that Thiam doesn't get on the end of anything, because for the most part there's very little to get on the end of. Different kinds of players. Thiam looks to have a trick. Is physically stronger and will take a shot on. Bradders scores from close range, so basically one has a good all round game that lacks a goal, and the other has the goals but you have to be ever so precise to get him in. Hopefully Moore will be the perfect partner for both of them.
