So when the system doesn't work try something new. heres what i would try.
                                         Kean

                       COLLINS OSBORNE CLARKE
                
             Mills                                                    Davies  
                                        mcallister
                                                                            

                                       Clements              

                  Dembelle                               DJ  
                                         Vernam



Surely Mcallister has to be the best in mid when fot, clem needs a go and the any striker with dj and dembele each side.

Is Osbrone one of the quality signings?

We are a squad lacking in pace but that 11 really highlights it. I'd like to find a way of freeing up Dembele and DJ to be more attacking which I guess that team does but Davies isn't quick enough to play wingback and Clements and McCallister have barely kicked a ball between them this season.

No they havent and why? surely once match fit  mac and clem are better than what we have? no disrespect to summers who has looked good but what is the benchmark for that to be set against.
Davies to be fair to him has looked more than capable since switching to the left.
i reckon the system gives some freedom to the front 3 to really get at the defence

I was surprised at how well Davies did when he switched sides, but wing back is a different matter entirely. I wouldn't be against us trying 3 at the back though; 442 certainly isn't working! Maybe Wright could be recalled to be given a shot there?

As for McAllister I doubt he'll ever be match fit.

For me it would be harsh to drop Summerfield over Clemment's/Mcallister. Our stand out player for a good few games now, really gives it a go.

I think there's probably a reason why nobody in history has ever attempted a formation like that.

Nor sure Vernam is able to lead the front line he is more a play maker so that leave either Vernon ,Hooper or Asante but Vernam hould be in there somewhere he showed a lot of potential.

Not there as a target man, how bout play the ball on the floor to vernam then the other boys running of the sides of him, then if he is a playmaker this will be bread and butter to him. lets forget the hoofball and keep the ball on the deck.

We haven't got the pace or athleticism in the full-backs to play with wing-backs.

Mills could probably do an OK job on the right, but Dixon or Davies on the left? No way.

If Clements was fit enough (and Matt's appeal was granted!), I'd try the following 4-2-3-1:

               Killop
Mills  Clarke  Osborne  Davies
  Summerfield  Clements
Dembele  Jones  Jaiyesimi
                Matt

Effectively 4-2-4 in attack (yeah, I know I'm being a bit hopeful) and 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 when defending.

Failing that, a 4-3-1-2:

               Killop
Mills  Clarke  Osborne  Davies
Summerfield  Rose  Clements
             Dembele
           Jones  Matt

Dembele interchangeable with Jaiyesimi in the role behind the front two depending on what you're looking for. Jaiyesimi is stronger and has more of the attributes of a third striker, whereas Dembele buzzing around in that space might be able to cause other problems.
