    Whatever the issues may be defensively, O' Keeffe most certainly isn't the answer.

    I can't see how we can your still back to 2 x holding CM's which is quite negative, we haven't the naturally wide men in the forward 3 who can beat a man, perhaps Jalo apart, we end up exposed in midfield and all that happens is the forward 3 get deeper to make up, leaving an isolated front man, teams would just set up with 352 or 442 leaving both full backs exposed to 1 on 1 situations.
    These first 10 games or so have brought to light just how bad a squad balance we have.

    I am starting to wonder how much of what Clarke is doing is to show how woeful we are in terms of a plan B, otherwise its utter lunacy to pursue other systems we aren't set up for.

    I’m unreliable informed that this is the video Clarke is basing his formations on

    It can't be that, they look as though they know what they are doing
