is it 4-2-3-1 ?

Only 10 players there. Why is the goalkeeper always forgotten/left off formations, surely he is worth a "1" on his own, particularly for his footwork when playing "out from the back".

Knit picking, me thinks, Mr Nes.

Isnt it spelt 'nit' ?

On that point, is it titbit or tidbit?

Our lineup vs Burton. Were Graham and Archibald wing backs?

Our formation is what Ritchie decides it is. Pointless thread closed.

So we play a fluid 5311/352 ?

This is how I see it.
Slightly different with, and without, the ball.

It does mean the wing-backs (which, if its Theo/Graham, aren't really wing backs) have to cover a lot of ground.

Believe that at the start of the season, and for almost the entirety of last, it was 4-2-3-1 - two 'holding' in midfield, 2 wide attacking players (Smyth/Theo as it was), and one behind the striker (often Moncur)...

1-2- 8

What is it now? Pre season RW spoke of 2 up front to get Agyei and Kelman on the pitch but I don't think its that and our limited number of strikers surely doesn't encourage that either?

4231? Agyei wide?
