I wonder what would happen if a formation like that was tried nowadays . The old formation looks very attack heavy , but I can't recall the scores being much different to today .

I'll post this for the younger generation to show what you're talking about!
1 goalkeeper. 2 right back. 3 left back. 4(Southernrams position, the Alan Durban of his day)right half. 5 centre half. 6 left half. 7 right wing. 8 inside right. 9 centre forward. 10 inside left(my position). 11 left wing. Those were the days.
Come on then lets hear it, what positions did you play in the formation of the 2-3-5 days.

Be careful lads, florest fans are mildly autistic and can't follow sarcasm. They'll take everything literally here.

I was a tricky right winger but I can kick with both feet (check back and cross with my left)and put anyone on their a*** perhaps I may be too good for your team
I will play if you can get me a car allowance
quite like them new Honda civics
Right Back... mostly of the non overlapping style, since I was ****e
But most games we played were in about 90 degrees heat and 80+% humidity, so I really don't get why a hungover group of a pub side can play in those conditions yet the super fit professional England team are worried about playing in Manaus.
Maybe they might run around a bit more?
If it's a forward from the Netherlands, Castaignos is the most likely, Finbogasson would cost loads and he's linked with prem teams, I hope we look at a winger who was on trail at palace at the start of the season.
Owusu Abeyie Quincy plays for paninthiakos and is extremely skill full, a deal with palace could not be reached last year and thus wasnt bought by them. I think he used to play for Arsenal too.
I was a regular Left Back.
I was left back in the changing rooms until I finally got the message and tried golf instead.
I was **** at that too.
Striker! Play best just of a big man.
360 vision and good finisher, but awful physically and a bit of a whiney git.
Talking of old formations, I've always liked the look of the old 'wm'
It wasn't really, the front five were a W formation with inside right and inside left dropping back. I myself was outside right although on many occasions I was outside left as it was more difficult to fill that position.Originally Posted by charenteram
I always figured you as a left winger Awkward. You probably went on the Jarrow March too back then.
