Before the game London and Sinton were saying we were 4 3 3, but during it they admitted it was more a 4 3 1 2 which was how it looked on the stream with Chair behind Dykes and Armstrong. Dykes and Armstrong looked good together too I thought.

Smells about right to me but it was much harder than normal to say what formation we were playing as we had so much of the ball in their defensive third, given the extra man.

Our formation seems to be very fluid. I agree that the “default” seems to be 4-3-3 but there is much movement.

When attacking the wing-backs move up and a holding midfielder drops back. When defending they press by zones. It is a well drilled fluid formation with very good team work.

It will take a much better expert than me to analyse it! :)
 
3-1 Keane (of course)
Dykes,
Chair
Armstrong

Dieng ,
Laird Balogun C-S Kenny

Tiny inkling for Amos in for Tim.

Yes, Sinton was saying exactly that. The camera focus was on our attack with Laird well forward down the right. You couldn't see it on the stream but Sinton was praising the work Field was doing apparently, covering behind him and Paal when they got forward.

I'd lime to see that but as this is the 3rd game in a week maybe one or two will need resting. Think Beale said Robert's will be back in the squad.

But it is very difficult to see the full formation on the stream. The commentators do their best, but seems quite fluid and they have difficulties themselves on how to describe it.

I guess that this is excellent for us. If it is difficult to explain how we play, then it is nigh on impossible to prepare how to deal with it.

I will call it our “fluid formation”. :)
 
Ffs I hope not, just worsens the team in my eyes. Willock might be on bench

Doubt Willock will be involved, saving him for Brum next Friday........

Likely Steff will be rested with Richards or Amos coming in.......... and possibly Dozzell for Tim 5 Vowels...... neither changes will weaken the side

Can't remember when we were this spoilt for choice.........

Wasnt Steff rested for Luton? If he is rested tomorrow I think Dozzell is his most natural replacement.

Can't remember Os to be honest, it's possible he was........... If he could play 3 games a week he wouldn't be playing for us......
