IdealI was there at Elm ParkIdeal Who is going to provide any sort of width in that formation then, cmonurz? Shall we play everything through the centre? Right onto the head of their central defenders, while our smallish strikers fail to compete for headers?
Who is going to provide any sort of defensive duties out wide?
Obviously fielding four central midfielders is not a good idea.
The width should come from the full backs
Oh, you mean for example Rosenior, who is already struggling to cover defensively in 4-4-2? Obviously this would not work in the real world.
What Elm Park said - I like the formation because it is fluid; Nicky Forster was a winger/attacker who would tuck in a bit, and Murty over-lapping was one of our biggest attacking threats back in the day. We know Rosenior is decent going forward, so should utilise that, behind which the centre-back and defensive midfielder covers.
