After failing to get a RB ysterday, just wondering if 3-5-2 might suit us better now...
We could play Bartley, Hegazi and Dawson (If fit) in the back 3.
Gibbs and Phillips wing backs.
Brunt and Field (If fit) as central midfielders
With Barnes as attacking midfielder behind Jrod and Gayle.
Could easily swap Nyom with Barnes and put Phillips as the attacking CM if needed too.
That would give us more legs in the middle. Right now, having Brunt and Livermore in there is killing us. I wouldn't drop Brunt though because of his set pieces and he can be a threat going forward. If you have runners around him, we could accommodate him in the middle.
Just think this might suit us more than a rigid 4-4-2 where we've been outrun and outworked in midfield for the first two games..
