Did we start the first game against Grimsby in a 5-3-2 formation?

Well Monky played 40 odd games and he had 2 midfield chaps alongside so if you don't think Monky played as a left side midfielder then we probably did watch a different team. Not sure why you keep mentioning monkhouse? Yes he was LM, yes he had 2CMs alongside him usually 2 of SS, LM, OC or CL. But we almost always had a RM. Take your pick from Gos, Dawson, LDV, Balanta, and I think TL played there once or twice. We only played with 3 strikers on a couple of occasions and I can't recall going 352 at all? Lockyer played RM far more than once or twice as he became a regular when SS was injured before Lines was signed. As Hugo suggests we did go 3 at the back when chasing goals ie Eastleigh at the Mem. Although I can't see DC starting with anything but 4-4-2 on Saturday although I'd be surprised if he started with 2 wingers.

I wouldn't be surprised if we only played 1 winger, but I would be very disappointed not to see 2

I'm not a big fan of that formation Last season we looked uncomfortable with anything other than 4-4-2.

I wouldn't be surprised if we only played 1 winger, but I would be very disappointed not to see 2 Not playing two truly wide players at the same time negates the effect of only playing one. If your team is only wide on one side, everyone shuffles over by a few yards...it's like the nonsense we get when nearly every outfield player is in the same 10m-square area for a goal kick...

Brown acts like a wing back though so that usually opens up the left wing, I can't recall many clubs playing two out & out pacy wingers?
Anybody know if we are likely to get an injury update from the club??
