Dr T has pulled the trigger

[Monty]

That would just be a 4-2-4 like yesterday, just more rigid in attack and more exposed in defence. I know we all watch a different game, but it is a bit beyond me how people think the answer to last night is 4-4-2, ie the same but a bit worse.

[Walmley_Villa]

The feedback I had from an Albion supporting mate is that RDM was never at the training ground and swanned in an out, one of the reasons they canned him.

I think lots of managers do that these days. That's why we appointed Steve Clarke.

The wingers would support the full backs which would stop us being overrun.

The other formation I've thought of is 4-1-2-2-1

IE

                          Jedinak
 
                Tishbola       Gardner

Grealish                                     Mccormack

                         Kodjia

Starting to think he is the Italian version of Sherwood talks a good game did well at big club for short period with someone else's  players but useless with own team

I prefer that second formation. One problem with 4-4-2 is that you get overrun in midfield, meaning the wide players coming inside to help, at which point you get overrun out wide. I wouldn't mind trying any system though, really, so long as Westwood isn't in it.

                         Kodjia

I like it but feel with both Grealish and McCormack as wide attackers your going to have very little pace in team.Problem also is you can mix and match that front three with Ayew Gestede and Adomah the middle 3 there is those 3 and thats it bar Westwood.

For me we should of been investing big money on midfield not all of it on the attackers

[glasses]

When Fully fit
Gollini
De Laet Chester Elphick Amavi
Jedi
Tshibola Westwood
Grealish
Ayew Kodjia

Full backs to provide width.

At home could we get away with sacrifising Cissoko and playing three at the back with another midfielder - going 3-4-3 with Jedinak playing the holding role?

I'd swap Gardner for Westwood and Mccormack for Ayew.

[Richard E]

It has reached the point where I would consider literally sacrificing a player if it would appease the gods and win us a match.

[Ad@m]

Agreed.  When it comes to coaching players, I trust Steve Clarke to do a much better job of it than RDM.

You mean something like, Ashley Westwood, in a Wicker Man, on Barr Beacon? I shall call Lord Summerisle immediately.

That team is instantly void, it has Gardner in it.
