Why we abandon a successful 4-4-2 Formation where we start looking solid, confident and win games to go with a 4-3-3, where we have constantly looked disorganised and where it negates the positive aspects we have in midfield and renders us to a wide open. Even when we shouldn't see it working there was a point to change it with Winnall's injury, but we decide to bring a less hard working striker on. Didn't work against Chesterfield and didn't work here. Am i missing something because it seems an obvious issue to me and a problem we bring on ourselves.
Because we spent months trying to sign Trotta and now we have to play him which is turn has disrupted the team Sent from my GT-I9300 using Forum Runner
Agree about the formation. We've nowt out wide in midfield. But not many options in the squad to change it unfortunately.
Recently, to me at least, we've been playing a diamond in midfield and not a conventional bank of 4. We didn't change the formation all that much today. It was just that Trotta played in an even more advanced position than Williams/Hemmings had been doing previously - effectively creating a 433. Same principle though, with Hourihane, Bailey & Berry as a midfield 3. Which I don't like tbh, nowhere near defensive enough - even at this level.
