Whatever the formation can’t say it isn’t attacking
The trouble is, just throwing more forwards on the pitch doesn't necessarily make it attacking. Or at least effectively attacking. Being attacking is as much about how much you have of the ball and in what areas, how you move the ball, how quickly you regain possession and look to get forward or break, taking risks in possession. To do those things the balance of players you have in the team and the balance you strike between attack and defence must be right. You can start with just a goalie and 10 strikers, doesn't mean you automatically score more goals.
This team does not look balanced to me and has almost zero pace or width. Like @ValleyGary says, it's set up to lump it forward, imo. A hit and hope team selection to play hit and hope football.
I’ve always wanted to be a fan of K Anderson as he runs around a lot and committed but lacks creativity. He’s so is like my favourite chicken after I had severed its head. We have a very good forward line just feeding on scraps.
We’ll go 1-0 down in the 14th minute leading to an utter meltdown on here. We will then come back and win 2-1, unconvincingly. No-one will be quite sure what to think and thus the agony is prolonged.
The line up definitely looks like a fuck it let’s go for it scenario to me. We should beat this lot comfortably no matter what our starting team is but if they score first it could get very nervy. Lose tonight the NJ has to be under massive pressure imo
They just showed the equivalent game from 2019. We had Bielik, Fosu, Aribo, Grant Lyle Taylor, Solly, Bauer and Sarr in the side. Shows how far we are away from a promotion side.
Teams are out... back in our all grey kit, rather than with the yellow socks tonight, bit disappointing as liked that combo. Might be understandable as Burton wear yellow socks, but my night is still ruined now!!

Hopefully I'm eating my words at full time.
Can't be anything else as he has never played this formation before. (Or at least not here)
And playing 3 forwards doesn't guarantee goals if you don't get the ball to them.
Has all the makings of a very difficult night for us.
I said they’re weirdos and should be certified for going and I said we’d win , let’s not make stuff up 🙄
That team was light years ahead of the current side.
Atmosphere is rank
Hoping 4-3-3 inspires us
And how absurd it is we are not even confident of a win.
