I think we should go to a back 3, we are just too weak offensively with Johnson and Spence supporting a lone striker
Johnson just isn't good enough to be a 1st choice winger in a 4-3-3 at this level, he's a competent 'wingback', but as a dedicated winger he is just too limited at this level
Spence is a full back/wingback, he's improving but he's not a winger and probably never will be, his crossing is so hit and miss
Akpom just isn't a spearhead type of striker, he's a hard working pressing forward but struggles against physcial defenders
Wingbacks again, and 2 up top or 1 striker with Roberts coming in off the right allowing an overlap from spence
I just think the wide options we have, we don't have the wingers that Warnock wants, he wants his wingers to also be a defensive shield for the fullbacks, and is playing guys there
First and foremost for their defensive contributions and not their offensive ones
Either that or play 3 ball winners in the 4-3-3, i.e Howson, Morsey and Saville in the 3 and use our 2 'offensive' wingers, i.e Roberts and maybe Watmore supporting the number 9
