Lath behind Coburn

I agree, with what we have , we lend ourselves to 3 5 2 .. or 4 3 3
Substantially more than 4 2 3 1 .
Even our best spell last night was 3 something something 🤣
 
I said it on the other thread... We don't have the defense minded CMs to play with three at the back.

When it worked under Wilder it relied heavily on Howson playing defensive, and Tav being all over the pitch.
 
4-2-3-1 is an incredible powerful set-up, if at least 2 of the “3” have the energy and discipline to support the defensive unit, and cover for overlapping full-backs (Which we don’t have, currently)

Jones fits this (forward 3) profile.
it also relies on a “10”, who (isn’t supporting defensively) and can hold the ball high up the pitch.

We’re not playing Jones, and don’t have a left sided attacker who can work both With and without the ball. We don’t have a Chuba at 10. All of this exposes our 2 in midfield.

I'd agree with all of that
Our best option for 10. In a 4 2 3 1 . odd as it is .. Coburn
Best options wide in the three, given your description , are forss and Jones..
( still think we don't suit 4 2 3 1 )

Latte Laff could play deeper.. Morgan Rogers could be all over the place.

————————-Dieng————————-
———-Lenihan—Fry—Van Den Berg———
Jones—Hackney—Laff—O’Brien—McGree
——————-Forss—Rogers——————-

Would take some big balls to open that up against Southampton on Saturday!

Agyemang & Bilongo on the bench?

Not the first to suggest it but if we're sticking with the ridiculous formation I'd give them two a crack as a pairing ....

I just keel heading back to 3-5-2 though, the team picks itself in a 3-5-2. Very frustrating...

You've got epic subs for a 3-5-2 as well.

Maybe or you could put him one side and Jones the other and Coburn Central with Rogers behind
 
If I was Carrick, I go for the same tactic.
Only change role for some position, and tweak minor tactic.
With all players we have, we can't change to 3 CM tactic.
Crook is slow player, and CM need mobile ability.
Another players in attacking midfielder position,
not have quality enough for that position.

Stick with same tactic, or change manager and team's philosophy.
