Anyway, Wootton, Ruben, Cal and Eli have 54 goals between them - that's our attack and all should play every game in a 4-2-3-1.

Arter, Palmer, Francis, O'Brien, DKE etc could play 54 years and they still wouldn't have that figure combined.
Play your gaolscorers, put the opposition on the defensive and you won't go far wrong.
Trust your defenders to defend, they'll play better taking more responsibility than standing in a line of wondering if the others will make the challenge.
This is what our squad screams out for to me.
Fans who want a cagey, solid (or stolid) approach should petition for Keith Curle to be reappointed.

No need, we have Mark 2.

Succinctly put, and difficult to argue with, especially now we know that the 5-3-2 does not provide any more protection against getting hammered.

Get your best attacking players on the park and get the ball to them in the opposition's half more often. Arter and Palmer between them should be good enough to screen the back four when necessary, as long as we don't overplay in our own half and bring needless pressure upon ourselves.

Just play that, easily the most balanced team we can put out from what we have available. Goals and creativity in the front four, a solid back four and two midfielders who can both look after the ball and get about the pitch. There’s no obvious reason why that team shouldn’t do well.
