Well we could call on Brown but although i`m a fan it does not influence the midfield positively and i don`t mean any grind with Micheal Brown.It`s a home game we must not lose so i agree get mowatt and murphy to get there range of passing going.

Defensivley the DM provides cover when the fulbacks go forward. The LF and RF act as wingers when we are defending.

When attacking 1 of the forwards will pull wide (i.e the rightsided striker if we are ging down the right wing) with the other 2 then being central.

Numerically we should domminate central midfield having 3 midfielders. As such the opposition will be forced out wide which should suit us as Pearce and Zaliukas should be able to deal with crosses. If a fullback gets caught out of position the centreback edges across to meet the danger with the def mid slotting into centre back.

Sorted. 12-0 win and optimism restored.
Seems like when he went to my formation after 60 minutes things clicked. Only 2-0 to us duing that time...

So it's a good formation for when the opposite team have taken their foot off the gas.. :wink:

Except of course that on 60 minutes Zaliukas went off and was replaced by Smith.
