Formation 17:24 - Sep 6 with 1177 views | davman | Far too open with full backs playing like Wing Backs. Would a third centre back at the expense of one of the two DMs work better? We played it towards the end of last season and I think it could work as it allows Manning and Kane/Kakay to play as Wing Backs rather than ridiculously high full backs. Actually, sod it, let's just go with one at the back, eh? | |

Formation on 17:32 - Sep 6 with 1155 views | bosh67 | I kind of get the feeling we are often going with one at the back! Personally I would play a much flatter back 4, have a sweeper ahead of them, then 4 across the middle with 2 wingers who can track back and one up front. | |

Davie, you mean like Grant Hall a couple of years ago when he drops back when we HAVE the ball? That's a bit different to a traditional defensive midfielder to me, but might work if our wingbacks are going to push on | | | |

Is this called Boshball? Sounds fun. | |

Good point Davie. My bad but thinking about it 1-4-4-1 may be best suited given what seems to happen with the sweeper, as you say behind the back 4. | |

My understanding of sweeper is that they drop in behind to clear up but bring the ball out of defence. So they kind of alternate between being in front of and behind the back four. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Formation on 15:50 - Sep 7 with 633 views | DubaiR | Too late now as should have been tested pre season but I would love to see: Kelly Dickie Masterson Barbet Kakay Ball Manning Carrol Chair Bos Dykes | | | |
Formation on 15:53 - Sep 7 with 621 views | DubaiR | Doesn't show in my post but 3 at the back, wing backs, holding CM with LTC and Chair in front and a front two of BOS and Dykes. | | | |
Formation on 16:06 - Sep 7 with 601 views | bosh67 | Or ------------- Kelly Kakay Dickie Masterson Barbet --------------Ball BOS Chair Carroll Manning -------------Dykes Possibly ask Barbet to play LB with Manning left wing. Then you have Barbet, Manning and Carroll, all left footed on the left and Kakay, Chair and BOS all right footed on the right. Ball as defensive midfielder behind Chair and Carroll and protecting Dickie and Masterson. Dykes of course uses both feet. | |

Formation on 16:26 - Sep 7 with 572 views | stanistheman | I would play 3 at the backand yes, Kakay did play there in July and I thought he did ok. Perhaps we could have the following agaonst Forest. Dieng Dickie Masterson Barbet Kakay Ball Carroll BOS Chair Manning Dykes Subs Lumley Kane Cameron Bettache Thomas Smyth | | | |
