What Formation suits us Best

[Concrete John]

Clark being back is a big boost.

If he is fit and ready to go, I would go with

Given

Lichaz Cuellar Collins Warnock

           Clark    Herd

Albrighton    Ireland   NZogbia

               Weimann

Despite his poor form, I think he'll stick with Gabby given the inexperience of the side.

Which is a good summary of one of his bigger faults as a manager.

[NiiLamptey]

I suppose if we really are clear of the relegation drop you could drop gabby but fielding just youngsters wont work...

against stoke it was a very surreal match, we where waiting for them to attack us, and they seem to be waiting for us to attack, and to be honest i felt this was down to experience (lack of) as we looked a bit rabit in headlights during most periods in the game.

Given the very similar performances of a team of seniors this season, I don't think this can be attributed in any way to inexperience.

With our fitness issues at the minute id go with

Given
Lichaj Cuellar Collins Baker
           Herd Gardner
Albrighton Ireland Nzogbia
                Gabby.
 
Maybe Weimann for Gab,or Bannan for Albrighton,not too much to play with really.

I think that positioning the Keeper over by the corner flag is stroke of genius. Should stop 50% of the goals that we ship at corners

Maybe its leadership then?

playing the youth wont fix it...

Its the wrong corner flag though... We seem to shift all out freekick and corners from left... (warnock - Lichaj etc) lol

But neither will playing the seniors it seems, so what's the difference?

Leadership, tactical  nous, training ground work etc - that's what it is, and that's not down to the players.

[pedro25]

               Given
Hutton Cuellar Collins Lichaj
         Herd Warnock
Bannan Ireland N'Zogbia
         Agbonlahor

Weimann being very unlucky to miss out and straight in for Gabby if his form doesn't pick up, even if he is captain.  Gardner should be good enough to force Warnock out of the side shortly and if not Clark would go back in for him when he returns.  If Herd and Warnock are missing, Bannan and Gardner in the middle, Gabby wide and Weimann up top, and pray they and or Clark return soon.

Is there any chance of Jenas, Makoun or Delph returning this season?

[Simon Ward]

I was going to say 9-1-1, but our situation looks slightly less critical now!

our goal difference (might be what keeps us up - not clear yet)

[hawkeye]

Any 11 that does not include Hutton is a good start

[TimTheVillain]

Any 11 that does not include Hutton is a good start

How right you are, how did he become a professional footballer ?

Did McDrawer need a Scottish mate in the team - Arry knew alright...

[claret and blue blood]

Given.Back four of Lichaj,Cuellar, Collins and Baker ,Herd,Ireland,Warnock, GardnerNzogbia and Weimann.
