    Surely is we're going for a possessive passing team 4-3-3 would surely be better?

    Doukara and Antunucci on each wing using their natural pace dragging the defence wide with Sharp in middle goal poaching. Cook/Bianchi sitting in front of the defense controlling the midfield with Austin/Mowatt/Sloth/Adryan making runs at opposing defence, defensive cutting passes to Sharp/Antunucci/Doukara.

    Think Darko might be tempted to put Austin as DM but would be wrong decision imo he's much better running at players, smashing shots in than defending. Don't understand why people don't rate him? He was class yestarday but only time he seemed to get a mention was people winging he had a pass intercepted after making 4 good ones and nearly scoring from 30 yards out. This is after scoring a blistering goal last week against Town<confused>

    One thing we know for certain is that width definitely helps to get in behind defenders ... Milanic built Maribor on a 4-4-2 formation with a quick passing game and rapid counter attacks, a system they still use to good effect today ... the key thing now is how much Cellino tries to influence Milanic, because it appears Cellino is behind the diamond formation and lack of wingers being signed ... the most effective diamond was used by Barcelona, but they had Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Toure and whoever you wanted to throw in with those playing a high tempo game, passing their way with unerring accuracy straight through the heart of teams (and remember even Fabregas struggled to get in that midfield) ... in the Championship pace is the winner, because high quality players are hard to come by to make the diamond a dominant formation, not just effective and getting you more wins than defeats, but DOMINANT, because that's what's needed to get promotion
