Formation yesterday
« on: July 16, 2023, 03:20:25 PM »

So it seems the three at the back is here to stay... but what I quite liked was the tweak at the top of the field.

Unless others interpreted it differently to me, it seemed to be more of a 3421 'Christmas Tree' - with a sole focal point in attack (Linney) and two forwards to support him.

In that first half it certainly seemed to do the trick having the extra midfielder instead of two out-and-out forwards like we did at the end of last season.

There seemed to be some words between Jones, Kosylo and Conn-Clarke in the first half, but I think the challenge was that the latter two were taking up the same positions.

Something along the following lines certainly has a nice balance to it:

                         [GOALKEEPER]

              Ja.Jones    Roscoe    Baines

Donawa                                             E.Jones

                    Marriott      Jo.Jones

          Amaluzor                  Conn-Clarke

                              Linney

If we could get the goalkeeper situation sorted, I'd feel fairly confident about things going into the Dagenham game.

Yes I guess it would be. I'm sure Angus came to be a starter, but we all know the season is long and everyone will contribute their minutes.

Out of the triallists, I'd probably be the keenest to sign Sean Lawton as things stand given there's no obvious cover for Eddy Jones. I know he was regarded highly at Nantwich.

I think Cooper is regarded as Left Back cover (as well as cover across the back line) isn't he?
