Quite an interesting question, would the likes of Somma, Howson, Parker and Kissa make the starting xi if you had the entire squad to pick from... What formation would you play, and would you change the formation away from home?
Home: --------------lonergan thompson--lees-------bruce--pugh snodgrass--howson--clayton--townsend --------mccormack--somma Away: -------------lonergan thompson--lees-----bruce--white --------clayton------pugh snodgrass-----howson-----townsend --------------becchio
hmm, thats a tough one for me actually. I think it'd look similar to Logi's home formaton but i wouldn't play Somma alongside McCormack, i think they're too similar and Somma doesn't work hard enough in a team to warrant walking straight into a first team spot. I also dont like the idea of changing formation every week dependant on whether we are playing home or away, I know a lot of teams do it but i'm not a fan. Also Bruce isn't good enough but we have no one better. I'd start with McCormack and Forssell upfront with Logi's home pick to be honest lol
Lonergan Thompson Lees Bruce White Snodgrass Clayton Howson Brown Townsend Becchio Doesn't feel right leaving our top scorer out but feel we play better in a 433/451 formation.
Of the suggestions so far the defence looks very weak, White isn't the finished article when it comes to LB and it will be a matter of time before Thompson gets shown lacking in the same department on the opposite side. Sadly the club doesn't have an answer so you have to feel a 5 man midfield offering some cover to the back four is the only option.
