It doesn’t work please change it. It’s amazing that the previous manager was sacked because the squad couldn’t play it and yet the new gaffer keeps with it.

Expecting a few more defeats for the Os in the coming weeks.

We didn’t play 4-3-3 again today. Really? What was Brophy, Johnson and Kemp if not the '3' of a 4-3-3?

It was Albert Einstein that said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results

It’s not working either. Something needs to change and clear out of the squad ( which is the correct option ) can’t be done yet.

If you play 4 at the back then obviously you need two full backs - and from what i can see, we don’t really have one decent FB. Easy for me to say, but I’d be tempted to go with 3 at the back, and use three of our CB’s. Then play around with a 5 in front of them. Get a regular CDM to sit in front of the 3 CB’s, giving licence for the two wing backs (Brophy on one side) to get forward without fear. Sometimes its better to look at the players you have and let that dictate your philosophy, as opposed to having a philosophy and then trying to shoe horn players into uncomfortable positions.

The problem is whichever formation you propose, there are always several glaring omissions of the players needed to make it work.

The 3-5-2 with for example, we have no one to play 5e right wing back role.
