Can't see Leo changing formation much for one match given that the club are reportedly looking for a head coach to continue Wilders blueprint. It would be carnage trying to rip everything up in 24hours. The 3412 that Edward's uses might be feasible as I assume that's just like how we set up against Rotherham with the four being the wingbacks and two sitting midfielders.

Sadly Jones missing restricts his options as well.
 
Out of fashion, you get over run in CM these days playing that way
Yup.

People keep saying they want to change formation, but most variants would make our weak midfield three into an even weaker midfield two, we would get absolutely dominated (worse than the one-goal defeats we've had this season).

We'd be overrun playing that way with average midfielders, but at least one are below par for this level, and none would get in teams of top sides.

If we had kept Tav then maybe it could have been an option.

We'll end up going 4-5-1 counterattack or 5-4-1 with a diamond or something like that.

Our players best suit 3-5-2, but we miss some good midfielders and a striker the manager wants. If we play another formation we will still miss some good midfielders, and the strikers we bought will be even further to the back of the queue, as we will only be playing one up top.
 
I wouldn't be against that, effectively 5 attacking players when we have the ball (both WBs, No 10 and two forwards).

I do think we'd need more better defensive minded midfielders for the "2" in that situation though, or the wing backs need to be more intelligent with who goes forward when.
 
not dissimilar to how we play today, just invert the midfield 3 from 1x CDM+2x 8s into 2xCDM+1x 8.

Might suit our players better, protect us from the break away goal with a double midfield shield.
TBH I've no doubt at all we will improve, almost regardless of tactics (which I don't think were necessarily our problem). Clearly been big trouble in little china behind the scenes, we had to move on, these things affect everything at a club from top to bottom.
