Definitely think it'll be a 4-2-3-1 or some sort of variation of.  I'd agree with jamesgtfc on the back four.  Longe-King and Pearson looked to have a decent understanding already and whilst I don't want to go in on him straight away, there was a marked difference with having Waterfall on for the second half.  It's just less composed and less organised.  If Pearson and Waterfall are competing for the warrior/leader role, there's only one winner. Longe-King's physicality and athleticism sees him in for my eyes.  Efete definitely looked the better of the right-backs and Crooks looked more natural than Khouri, who I don't even think is really a left-back.  

In the middle I think it'll be two holding and at the minute it's from Clifton, Fox and Coke.  

The three further on is anyone's guess. Sousa, Grant, Wright for the wide slots and then at Scannell, McAtee as the more central one but I think both could operate out wide too.  

The striker - well at the minute we've no-one fit!

Watched clips on youtube, and Looked like Scannell was playing as a CAM, behind a front 3?

Yeah he was, sorta drifting about a bit.  Grant on the right and Braithwaite on the left but it was quite fluid really.

Second half McAtee was the one with the free type role.
