Would definitely be happy to see less grunt and more guile.

Question is, do we stick with the wingbacks?
Do we try a 4-3-3?
5-3-2?
4-4-2?
5-4-1?
3-2-4-1?
4-2-3-1?

Must be honest, I'd like to see if we could finally recreate a partnership up top in the Bothroyd / Chopra mould.
Moore is probably the closest thing we've had to Bothroyd since he left (not quite as good in my humble opinion but probably the closest).
Watters looks like he has a turn of pace and he should know where the net is based on his track record.

Issue then though is less bodies in the middle.

Perhaps the false 9, even with Moore would still be the best way forward?

I dunno. My head hurts just thinkingabout it.
4231 has long been a favourite of mine. It can be quite fluid.
Allows the enforcer and playmaker in front of the back 4 and a fluid attacking front 4 with the 3 close enough to the 2 to pick the ball up but close enough to the 1 to get bodies in the box.
