    Theres not a single club who plays a 433 with more than one out and out striker. At a push you could say Arsenal with Aubameyang out wide but he has all the attributes to be a winger anyway. Doyle and Vaughan don't.

    No place for Cooke, a naturally attacking midfielder, is a surprise. Is he still ill or does it signal he's on his way back to Posh?

    Surely injured/ill.
    He'd be on there before both Anderson or Akpan

    Highlights the need for a left winger even more.

    It would have been nice to see Donaldson, Pritchard, Devitt and Mellor on it, that would have given Bowyer plenty of opinions if things weren't going to plan.

    Be interesting to see who takes a penalty if we get one.....

    Vaughan would be my bet

    There are many different 4-3-3 systems. For instance you could have two at the top and one behind. Or you could have all three in fairly straight line with two of them closer together and one wide slightly behind and then you'd have the other side of the three in midfield slightly further forward

    We have the best range of multi-faceted players in this league. Pritchard can play wide, centre or behind a front two. Connolly can play wide or centre. Cooke can play centre or further forward in midfield. Wood is comfortable as a LB/LWB or (left)CDM player. Mellor is probably a better wing back than full back

    Hence, all formations should be considered, with non assumed to be impossible, negative etc

    Fortunately, thanks to Bowyer they are now comfortable with whatever system they play and adds to my sense of optimism for the rest of the season

    A distinctly chilly south east afternoon. A few City goals hopefully to warm us up.

    I worry about that midfield in a 442 although I don’t think Taylor will be an orthodox winger

    I wouldn't disagree. But I think it suits the players we have best.
