    That team is bordering on illegal for a game like this.

    Good line up. Sticking with the back 3, but that may be because we lack wingers…

    Wow what a strong team!, I wonder what formation that is, it looks like a front 3.

    I timed my IOW holiday so that I could see the amazing comeback against Brighton. 300 miles plus RedJet voyage to show I really, really believe there is a football team somewhere in the south that I believe in.

    3-4-1-2 with Archer playing off the two biggies?

    Interesting from Still, we’ve gone from a front line with no player with a good history of leading the line to three strikers with no good history of playing wide

    This is all I can think of, although admittedly I don't know much about where Downs can play so maybe it would be him and Archer either side of Stewart.

    I think more of a 3-4-2-1.

    Maybe it is the countdown formation of 4-3-2-1.....

    The more I look at that team, the more it looks like Still wants it wrapped up by half time.

    I think he just wants to win. The sooner this lot can forget last season ever happened and gain confidence the better.

    Yep I think his philosophy is put out the strongest team that circumstances allow, rather than the strongest team for the level of opposition.

    Of course, when we are 3-0 down at half time we will all say what a cock he is and how we should have rested some players for Ipswich.
