Formation

[Jersey Canary 180]

Is it me or are we playing the wrong formation?

I think the 4231 formation suited us fine last fine we just didn’t have the players/squad to carry on the revival from just before lockdown.  At that point we were creating more and we’re beginning to look like we had an outside chance of survival. 
 

The 433 formation is missing the creative person behind the striker. This is probably the place that Cantwell will feel best or Dowell. And as a result we seem a bit toothless. 
 

I appreciate we’ve had 4 tough games and we probably won’t know for sure if we’ve got it right until the end of October or we need a change. 
 

I don’t feel we’ve played our best 11 so far maybe Farke is giving everyone a chance due to lack of pre season, certain people playing international matches etc.  I’m looking forward to seeing Normann replace Rupp.  
 

It’s interesting where Farke sees Gilmore fitting in because with the current formation means Kenny or PLM will get dropped (if Normann plays)?  As you’ll know I’m not the biggest Kenny fan so I suppose it will be he who makes way as PLM looks like he could be quite handy once he gets fitter. 
 

As for goals, I don’t feel Pukki is getting the service so I reserve judgement on what to do up front until the service picks up. With the current formation I would go for both Rachica and Tzolis for their pace. I’m not a fan of Cantwell, Dowell seems to be a luxury player without the defensive engine but with decent ability however, he can take a mean free kick and might be worth a place and take the risk? if so the Tzolis drops to the bench.

Choices choices. Maybe we’re just better off putting a full strength side out for the League Cup and go for a trip to Wembley and maybe a trophy? 😃
