Woodrow Chaplin Mowatt Dougall McGeehan Cavare Halme Diaby Sibbick Brown Collins Halme passed late fitness test otherwise Pinillos was set to play CB. Ben Williams dropped. Told that Murray wants more presence in centre midfield without losing attacking impetus. The style remains the same and we'll continue to press, but we "won't be pressing like headless chickens anymore". Also told that Odour is an unbelievable talent and was close to starting. Personally, I'm pleased we're trying something slightly different. Disappointed to see Cavare at left back and worry it'll be too much too soon for Dougall. Time to get behind them!
On paper looks stronger in the centre of defence and midfield. Could get ripped a new one down the flanks though.
Let’s face it, we don’t have loads of options really. Be happy to see Pinnillos replace Dougall after 65mims if required.
No idea about Wilks. Only just seen he's missing from the squad. Dropped perhaps? I think he'll be a good player for us in time but he's had a poor season so far for me, constantly turns over possession.
Like the 3-5-2 formation, I do think it'll make us a little more solid and possibly get more out of certain players. I do prefer Jacob Brown as an attacker though and I hope we don't persist with him as a wing back... he's got an attacking instinct that seemed to wain last season when played at full back.
It’s not 5-3-2 we are playing 4 at the back. Guessing it’ll be 4-3-3 with Chaplin occupying one of the wings

Yep in game it looks like that. Was going off the warm up where they were practicing defending against long balls and they had 4 of them and Brown was at the other side practicing his shooting. Clearly.
