Did we not play 4 3 3 second half? I thought it was a front 3 of Colbeck Southwell Cook?

This discussion/debate is going to dominate pre-season jonnyboy I am sure.

A few points i'd like to make are:

-If we are to become better and more familiar with 4-3-3 to the point where we can use it in league games, then is now not the time to play it, be a little bit patient and let the players get used to it?

-To everyone saying we were crap with 4-3-3 tonight, remember we were playing against a good League One side.

-The full backs we now have (Hatton and Thomas) will allow us to play the 4-3-3 system much better as they will get forward and provide width when attacking. This will be more noticable when playing against teams at our level.

-Could Hearn play the central role in the three up front, with Colbeck and Soares/Pearson outside of him? He may not win much in the air but he is strong enough to hold the ball up if it's played up to his feet.

-Remember.......it's only pre-season!

People keep saying we matched them when we went 4-4-2 but it may have been a case that they took their feet off the pedals because they were 3 goals up?

You might be right mate, but Soares definately had a more central role last 20 minutes or do! Best town player for me tonight, thought his close control, passing and vision was excellent!

Got to give credit to Southwell for two instinctive headers, looks like a natural poucher

some good points but we started 4 3 3 against gainsborough 1st half and we were all over the place as soon as we switched it to 4 4 2 second half again we were better..

we just look so uncomfortable playing it and agree with you when you say it is pre season but we could also be using the games to look at other things rather than just looking lost in a system what just seems to not be working so far,,

I think the managers are of the opinion that 4-3-3 will really let us get at the weaker teams who attempt to defend in depth against us.

I can see us switching between 4-4-2 and 4-3-3, depending on our opponents.
