Ah yes you’re right.

Suppose they could do the sensible thing and recall Shodipo.

Mmmh, cant ever remember seeing Shodopo defend.

And before you say Little, Bowyer said he'd made a big error playing Little Smyth at RWB last week, and he doesnt often admit to making errors, a Carlton fan was telling me today

No, I don't think and haven't said he's been sensational, he really needs to cross the ball a lot, lot, more than he's been doing. But as a LWB I think he's a lot better than Nico, and I can't think of anyone else that could play there for longer than the 15 minutes or so Albert or Willock would last there, even if they could defend well enough, which I doubt.

Who do you reckon will play there tomorrow, or are we going to abandon a formation that's worked well for us until and if we can find a replacement in the next 2 weeks?

How has this formation worked well for us? We’ve been ****. Charlie scoring against Luton hasn’t changed that.

I suppose it will have to be Nico, who I agree isn't terribly good.
I, too would have tried BOS as right wing back, as Kane is a bad footballer.
I also can't understand why we haven't recalled Shodipo.
I hope he sticks to 3 at the back, but changes the 3-4-3 to 3-5-2.
Dykes and Charlie up top with Chair, Carroll and Ball in the midfield three.

It allows us to play 2 strikers, which given the very few goals we've been scoring seems a good idea, and Dykes looked a far better player alongside Austin, than he has since he joined us. The 2 of them did well together. We look more solid with 3 at the back to to me as well, our defensive play and stats have improved of late, though it had got better before we went 3 at the back. Early days, but so far that improvement has continued with the 3. But to play this way we need decent WB's.

I dont think we've been **** either, in a few games yes, but in many including against the teams near to and at the top of the League, we have looked the better team for long periods of the game without being able to finish. Being able to play this formation when we want to with the 2 up front helps fix that as does a fit and in form Austin hopefully.

Agree except Kane did manage 7 decent crosses at Luton. I don't think BOS supplied one, Nico managed about 1 or 2 a game from LB, and Kakay's crossing is usually as erratic as Kane's pre- Luton. I think basically he's been playing 3 5 2 as well, but with Chair pushing well forward at times against Fulham, not so very much at Luton.

Dykes was on the right of a three against Luton. Although admittedly it was pretty fluid.
I just prefer a definite 3 in midfield, all be it, with Chair ahead of the other two.
I hope he doesn't **** about too much with the line up.

I think it's made us better defensively and keeping it means someone up front with Austin.

I hope you are both right, but we are talking about the evidence of one game, or am I missing something?

Think we've played with the 3 CB's and 2 (or 3) up front from the Swansea game, Swans, Norwich, Fulham and Luton.

Well, this is how clubs at our level make money. If we can make a good profit on him, the job is done. If he really is Man City level, he is too good for us.
