    Who is starting up top?

    Owls are flying, who can shoot them down?

    I realise SP probably won't, but I'd like to see us change our system/formation a bit. I believe it would give us a bit more of an attacking edge.

    One Possibility is to go 4-4-2.

    Trafford


    Roberts Egan-Riley Esteve Pires

    Koleosho Hannibal Laurent Sarmiento

    Flemming
    Hountoundji

    Or a narrower 4-3-3, because the one thing I have noticed is that our final passes from wide areas are shockingly bad. As much as I like Koleosho, his pace is a threat. But his final ball is woeful. Same for Anthony.

    I would look at variations of

    Trafford

    Roberts Egan-Riley Esteve Pires

    Hannibal Brownhill Laurent

    Koleosho Hountoundji Flemming

    Humphries Worrall Esteve Pires

    Hannibal Brownhill Laurent

    Koleosho Flemming Sarmiento

    I think this has to happen cornerholme - though I would have liked to see us give Foster a chance with some support up top ( I guess our hands are forced at the minute )

    Interestingly you left Cullen out of all formations and that is also my thought unless Sp can find a way that suits his style.

    I think centrally we’re more competitive with Laurent in the side , he’s no ball player but physical and makes us stronger.

    It’s a dilemma as Cullen is a quality player but imo anyway slows everything down in our current system / set up unless we’ve changed from the last three games

    Leeds blunted the Blades, we really must not lose tomorrow.
