I've a feeling Fatty is only playing 4-4-2 because of the way Davies and Dawson are performing, lose one of these two and we are f*cked and back to 5-3-2
 
I hope that he proves to be the missing link in our midfield, it would be good to watch a genuine creative midfielder that can link up with Abel and Chuba, but who makes way for him? Surely not Meyler.

McGregor
Elmo Dawson Davies Robertson
Huddlestone
Meyler Diame
Maloney
Hernandez Akpom
Diamond worked well for us for about two games last season until Bruce saw we were playing too good football making him too **** scared to use it again.

Personally, I'd play 3-5-2 to accommodate an extra midfielder.

Gregor

Dawson Bruce Davies

Elmo Meyler Mahoney Hudd Robertson

Akpom Jelavić

This would probably be my starting 11, though you could easily swap the players in bold for Hayden/Odubajo/Maguire/Hernandez

I think there's a strong possibility the players in bold won't be here after deadline day.

Not keen on the 3-5-2 GLP, not the way that Bruce usually plays it anyway, but Mahoney might make all the difference to it.

It's the lesser of two evils. I think we have looked awful playing a 4-4-2. We don't look at all comfortable with it, and that's against fairly mediocre opposition! Although we've picked up some points, I think we've been really exposed defensively against all the teams we have played so far, include Altrincham in that aswell.

Can't disagree with any of that, Alex back in for Saturday then.
