That can't be right in my opinion .

I think this conversation has it's place personally .

Yes it can come over as knee jerk , fair enough .

However .................???
Animal, something you mentioned on another thread about putting an extra body in midfield and Schopp tweaking the formation, I totally agree with. The wing back positions are too exposed from a defensive point of view at times and the team has also lacked balance from what I've seen. An extra body in midfield would take the heat a little off the wingbacks from a defensive point of view and allow the ball to be played through midfield more. That I feel would suit the passing football Schopp is trying to implement.

Personally, if I were Schopp, I'd go with the same formation as the 96/97 team with the 2 up front but that's just my opinion.

As I say, we're 6 games in so still early days and obviously patience is required all round. In the long run I believe that the passing game is the correct way to progress the club but it waint happen overnight
