4 at the back
« on: September 19, 2010, 11:52:40 AM »

Are we the only team in the league (or indeed the world) who play with 3 central defenders?

We got away with it when Greg Young was playing, but playing 3 central defenders with no positional awareness or confidence is shocking.

time to go 4 at the back.

While one player shouldn't make a massive difference, I'm absolutely with you on this one !

Joseph got the gig in his natural position of right back yesterday and i saw all i needed to know after 49 seconds,and the keeper should dealt with it, tuesday should be coburn,densmore,smith,welch,williams,brown, hewson,lawton,crowell, little,reeves, or slightly different if denham and clee are fit,we need a experienced left back,and experiened pacey centre back and and striker that can finish,even if its 3 loan signings thats what we need urgently, for starters...

Sampdoria played a very successful 3-5-2 last season. Probably no consolation though...

It's battle of the 3-5-2's tonight at the Luigi Feraris - Samp against Napoli. Our formation seems to be in vogue in Italy at the moment, we could decamp to Serie D or something?

I play 5-3-2 with Alty on FM. But what I saw at Gateshead was 5-2-2-1 which managed to negate most of the good points of '5 at the back' i.e. using the wing-backs to supply width and not needing to rely on a defensive midfielder.
