The only negative to this formation is that we can't play it long term. The work rate is too high for the size of our squad. you could see how tired our players were at the end of this game.
Think it allows more of our influential players to be on the pitch at the same time and in an effective way.

Ofakor can play second striker and is tricky with pace. He was excellent when he came on. Gnonto can also play that role and seems to for Italy u21.

The losers are really Harrison and James (who is out for a while) - Arronson can play the advanced mid role in the 3 as back up if needed.

Bijol looked very good in a back 3 and there was also lots of cover.

Love playing with two up top with balls being whipped in by full backs - was a little redolent of the Gary Kelly and Tony Dorigo era of flying full backs with Chappers and Rodders up top.
