Hopefully this wont become a pro/anti Hurst discussion....

I've noticed that about half of the premiership teams are now adopting a 4-2-3-1 formation, noticeably the more dominant teams, and was wondering if this would work for us ?

I see what you have done there dropped Mckeown and reasoned that we played well with 10 men against Lincoln so this formation could work?

I doubt we'd have played so well without Mckeown

I have outlined a few possibilities in my article on the home page; if we did play one up top, we would need to drop amond, which is a waste of a talent. However I'm for a change in formation as it makes us more unpredictable...

I think a 4-2-3-1 would quickly become a 4-5-1 as I'm not sure we've got the legs in central midfield to allow the wide two to stay further forward. We'd get overrun.

Tait and East would be perfect in that formation as they bomb up and down all day.

I think those types of formation are always designed to be 4-5-1 when defending anyway and definitely suit more counter-attacking teams.

I don't think counter-attacking is the way to go though. Makes it too easy for teams to come here and get a draw. Certainly at home, we've got to be taking the game to the opposition and dominating them not waiting to hit them on the counter attack.

Suitable formation if you've got two good holding midfielders - we haven't got one!

I would go for 4-4-3 but I don't thing we will getaway with it.
