That's the team I'd like. Forget the five at the back - just doesn't work at this level. It does work if it's played correctly. Coughlin made it work because DC's team shipped goals

Pity ogogo was still not here No chance of recalling him before January? Think we're up to our declared amount, as he was never given a team number i should think it unlikely

5 at the back obviously can work although I’d prefer to see us use 4. The reason Garners 5 at the back didn’t work is bevause we’ve got an extremely young squad with no toughness whatsoever apart from in defence arguably and Hanlan. That weakness mentally and physically combined with dreadfully slow build up play with the ball are the things that got him the sack. I really don’t mind what the formation is next game because that’s down to the management to decide but the players need to fight for every lose ball and attack with the sort of passion and tempo needed to win football matches at this level. We’ve played most of our games this year like they are friendlies and that’s not acceptable.

5 at the back didn't work for England tonight!
Trouble is it takes out the potential of another attacking player, so if you only have one, Harlan for us, or in England's case, Kane, you're stuffed.
Also means playing a dangerous attacking player, Nicholson, too far back at RWB!

We haven't scored enough this season and I would sacrifice another defender (even if it meant we concede more per game) with the hope we can at least score more! This is why I suggested a 4-3-3 to really get the best out of our attacking players such as Nicholson, JML etc.

Don't we have the players for 4-3-3 or 3-4-3? More entertaining than stodgy 5 at the back or 5 in the middle
