if we did play one up top, we would need to drop amond,.


Why?

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



I think some refs wouldn't notice

Well assuming Bogle is first choice...then Amond would be dropped as 4-2-3-1 allows for ONE striker, with a CAM (I'd have Monkhouse), flanked by two wingers (Marshall and Arnold)...I think this would work well. With Clay and Disley in the hole, they have the ability to retain and control play (I agree they might not have the legs, but they certainly have the ability, and we can always bring on a fresh set of legs). The defense in this scenario would probably require Tait and East as full backs as we would need quicker LB/RB to cater for the greater push up front....But you could certainly get away with having Pearson and Gowling/Toto - as they do not need to be as quick...

Arnold maybe better suited in the No. 10 role but it means playing only one of Bogle or Amond out.

With the athletic ability offered by Tait and East you could play Monkhouse up top with Bogle and Amond behind him at home keeping it narrow. Arnold staying central of the three too would make for a very attacking team.

Away from home it needs setting up more like a 4-51 on the defensive side of things I agree.

Keep repeating, tactics don't win matches players do.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

4231 just says we are to scared we'll lose we'll play for the draw by packing the midfield try to steal the ball and hit on the counter and hope we win, but at least we didn't lose guys


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

4-2-3-1? Nah, let's go with El Tel's 'Christmas Tree' formation: 4-3-2-1

Bogle up front with Arnold/Amond and Marshall running in behind him. Or, for that matter, stick Pittman up top (as he's probably strongest in the air of all our forwards) and play Bogle and A.N. Other off him.

Problem remains that our midfield 3 (whoever they would be) probably wouldn't have the mobility to do the job properly.
Attempts to play 4-3-3 in the Shorty/Shouty era failed similarly because the midfield was never good enough to cover all the ground.

I think the defensive options we have would probably allow us to play 3-5-2 which is a decent difference to the usual 4-4-2 but it would mean not being able to use any of our wingers.

Whats wrong with 4-3-1-2 we get both Bogle and Amond up top and Arnold as no.10
