My view (and it is only a view) is that 5-3-2 is best served by full backs who can also push forward (Cogley) while 3-4-3 requires wingers who can also track back (Schon). Those who are equally good at both roles, are usually playing at a higher level than we are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted August 3 Site Supporter Share Posted August 3 I would have thought that 3 centre halves and three midfielders would lend itself to a more attack minded wide player. Cover inside (as long as they're on their preferred side). With three up front, and only 2 in midfield, then perhaps a more defensive minded wide man maybe appropriate?

The 3 up top ... 2 are usually wingers (Collins, CMG, Schon) and 1 CF of Charles & Vic. Then you've got the 4 in Midfield which also requires 2 wide men (Williams, Schon, Cogley, Conway, Jones. 2 Central Mids which we have 6 of. What did we play today ... 352?

Moderators Zico Posted August 3 Moderators Share Posted August 3 So is 3-4-3 plan a or b I see how Collins and lolos fit in with Charles in the middle And Dan and CMG Less so rumoured McAtee and Dembele But no point in speculating on players we haven't signed Guessing as it stands it's Sheehan and either Dempsey or GT or Arfield in the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted August 3 Site Supporter Share Posted August 3 Cannot see Sheehan playing as part of a 2 in midfield. I'm wondering if the manager and staff are thinking about two separate formations, depending upon the opposition. Two plan As maybe, until one starts to become preferred.

If we can conquer that bit there's no reason why we won't be up there punching. Despite our obvious failings we were a couple of points/90mins away from promotion. I honestly think that if Johnston had been fit for the season we would have gone up automatically . Because of that injury we played Toal and Jones out of position and the season before George covered for Santos going forward and covered for him at the back . If he can get his form from 2 seasons ago then I think the defence is sorted with Johnston , Tantos , Toal and Forrestor and Forino to fill in when needed. id prefer us to find a dynamite front partnership like Reeves philliskirk, McGinlay Walker, or 2 beasts like Blake , Mixu etc Hopefully Collins and Charles is the one.

But at least I wouldn't be drawn in to read that particular discussion on false pretences. Maybe we just have one big thread - "Bolton Wanderers"!

Chrisj Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 John McAtee update. Reliably informed that he has four offers in one from champ three from League 2 two of which are us and Wrexham. Our offer is by far and away the best for him at this moment. Hopefully this will progress this week one way or another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted August 4 Site Supporter Share Posted August 4 I can't help feeling that we would be looking to loan out a striker if he came in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
