Arnold is still injured and Hurst surely wouldn't be daft enough to play a striker such as Pittman as a left wing-back. I know he can play out wide as well, but I'm not sure about his defensive abilities as yet.

To be fair to Adam the formation he's picked is 4-5-1 presumably with the idea that it becomes 4-3-3 when we have the ball so Pittman wouldn't be wing-back, he'd have a full-back behind him.

OK, I have to admit I didn't look at the defence much - just saw Pittman stuck out wide. I'll adjust my comment about his line-up:

Playing Connell up front on his own sounds like utter madness to me. He's not strong enough to hold up or link up play, has no pace to run on to passes and has offered absolutely no threat in his first 3 appearances. If you want to play with a solo striker, LJL is the obvious choice or possibly Pittman might be capable as well though I'd doubt his ability to last 90 minutes.

Regardless of who was to play, I think 1 up top would be a poor idea, even if they were theoretically supported by 2 other wider men because it's all too easy for players to be sucked back into midfield, leaving the lone forward utterly isolated.

Wouldn't disagree with any of that Maringer.

LJL can play right side. Did so at his last club and did so when he first arrived here. Pittman could probably do the lone striker role with his pace, supported by LJL and Neilson when attacking.

Just a thought but probably a stupid one thinking about it more.

LJL dropping deep to defend if needed. Keep it tight and organised, they will keep the ball for long periods but if they're like they were last season then they pose little threat with it. Hit them quickly on the break.

If Pittman has had a full weeks training behind him,

I would play him along side Lewis ( who will play )

With Connell on the bench.
