    That seems the mostly likely to me aswell, with the set up changing between the two depending on opposition etc.

    Seems we want midfielders who can play every role

    Just happy to have a solid link to a player again, those 48 hours were a struggle

    I don’t think we played a double pivot against shields

    we defended in a 442 as normal with diarra where jobe would be and ELF Neil

    then played on the counter

    Can’t see us moving away from the game model / 442 press. One deeper midfielder, one box to box midfielder and the other box to box midfielder who joins the striker in the 442 press

    El Khannouss is one of a very small list that i'd like from the Championship clubs. Real bright spot in a terrible team.

    Nah we 100% had Diarra and le fee side by side. There wasn’t 1 sitter like we had with Neil last season at least from what I could see

    I don’t agree. Time will tell I suppose, I think we kept playing on the break. Diarra played Jobes role and Browne played Riggs

    we haven’t got a natural number 10 nor do we have 2 natural sitters so I’d be surprised if it was a double pivot. I don’t think RLB has ever played with a double pivot actually

    I can’t say I ever once saw one clear sitter like we had with Neil countless times. Everytime I looked Diarra and le fee were next to each other

    It is odd for RLB to say Sadiki can play as a lone 6 or a double pivot if we aren’t going to play both those systems, I think we will adapt to the team we’re playing anyway I doubt it will be set in stone

    Would prefer to not be linked with players from relegated premier league teams personally. Feel coming from a struggling team after a long season at the bottom of the league losing frequently is a bad starting point when moving onto another team who could potentially be in the same boat if they start badly and would prefer players who haven’t already had a season drained of hope starting the new season for us. I want players who will run through brick walls and fight rather than players whose will to fight could already be jaded by previous battles in the premier league.

    I remember West Ham going down with these players,
    David James, Michael Carrick, Trevor Sinclair, Joe Cole, Jermain Defoe, Frédéric Kanouté, and Paolo Di Canio.
    Those players did alright.
