I think Smithlooks the best of our currently available options up front - he has pace and determination, both things we're a bit short of.
 
It's a Warnock team with big **** off centre-halves. The way we set up with our front three leaves the centre-forward way too isolated from the wide players. This isn't even a formation thing. Lots of teams play 4-3-3 and have the wide men tuck inside and support the centre-forward. We don't do that though. So whoever plays up front, whether it be Eaves or Tyler Smith, will get bullied today. Personally, I'd like to see us try 5-3-2/3-5-2 like this:

I'm sure Warnock will know our tactics will be 4 3 3, fanny about at the back, diagonal hoofball and overhit passes into the middle - McCann doesn't know any other way and if the players got their act together it's a system that will work

And yet, eight weeks in, we're still doing it. So if we're going to persist with it, I'd at least have a target man on the field. Both of them up front is ideal, a big man and a quick, smaller man is perfect against sides like this. Just a shame we won't see it.

I don't really think it's even a deliberate tactic. We just get it out wide, run out of space and ideas and often end up slinging a ball in out of desperation more than anything.
 
City take short goal kicks, pass around at the back, panic and pass back to Ingram who hoofs it upfield
