    That centre midfield gets overrun and won't defensively track runners, they'll also all want to be ahead of the ball too.

    That midfield would be absolute carnage haha.

    I think for now the 3-5-2/3-4-3 stays, something like:

    Slocombe
    Rawlinson Ellis Lacey
    Boldewijn Reeves O’Brien Barnett
    Roberts Wootton Knight

    But it kind of depends on the opposition - against sides more likely to sit back, you’d want Rodrigues in there. The Doyle/Reeves midfield partnership only has a hope of working with Knight and Roberts in the team to make the opposition sit deep and give them space. For tougher games you might want a Doyle or Griffiths in there as well.

    Ideally I think we still want 4-2-3-1 really so we can have three of Roberts, Enzio, Rodrigues and Knight playing in behind Wootton. So if everyone is properly fit it’s probably more like:

    Slocombe
    Brindley - Rawlinson - Lacey - McCrory (Barnett)
    Reeves - Doyle
    Roberts - Rodrigues - Boldewijn
    Wootton

    This for me if they are encouraged to move the ball quickly, looking to isolate RR, Enzio and Roberts in 1 on 1 situations would be very difficult to defend against.
