I’d like to see a 4-4-2 with this squad but it’s a system that’s gone out of fashion for overly complex ideas for a simple game.

4-4-2 would be something that fits the squad and players we have, but it definitely doesn’t fit us wanting to see better football.The Red Robin said:I’d like to see a 4-4-2 with this squad but it’s a system that’s gone out of fashion for overly complex ideas for a simple game.

KelmanIf we play a 4-4-2 with our midfield 2 against most teams in the championship that play 3 in there, then we will surrender control of the ball even more than we do already, and play even more direct with less midfield to play through. We’d have to sit behind the ball and hit teams on the break being more direct4-4-2 went out of fashion because teams with 3 man midfields would dominate possession against it. Fair enough if that’s what you want to see but from what everyone else is saying about our football it probably isn’t going to be popular2 -
Funnily enough Blackpool played a 442 like system under Steve Bruce with Sonny Carey coming inside to make a midfield 3 and Rob Apter playing a bit deeper, it's surely why NJ thought he could convert him to a RWB. We can't really do that though because Carey would have to be on the left of the 4 and that means moving and nullifying TC0

We could use that general lopsided 442 idea though, with TC as a proper winger on the left, and Carey on the right with more defensive responsibility, but with a licence to bomb forward occasionally as he likes to do. Wasn't that sort of what we did back in the days of Graham Stuart?fenaddick said:Funnily enough Blackpool played a 442 like system under Steve Bruce with Sonny Carey coming inside to make a midfield 3 and Rob Apter playing a bit deeper, it's surely why NJ thought he could convert him to a RWB.

Saying that QPR set up in a 442 against us and had 72% possession. That being said seeing how Coventry and Skipp get so overrun with a AM ahead of them, if we remove that extra option ahead of them they would get absolutely batteredNabySarr said:

Also I am not sure giving Carey defensive responsibilities is a good idea.fenaddick said:

Ok but they had much better players relative to the leagues the were successful in , we do not have that and the only way to get that is by getting the cheque book out.The Red Robin said:
Plenty. Success is relative. Curbishley and Bowyer just two examples at our own club.Kindoncasella said:

They also have much better players in possession than we do. When they play 4-4-2 against other teams they don’t have more of the ball (15th in the league for possession)Crispywood said:

I have always thought a good barometer for a season is the table at 15 games.
