    If Pattison was 100% fit, I wonder who would play more? Would either play wider to fit the other in?

    It was almost a 3-1-4-2 or something. 3-3-2-2 maybe. Depends where you drop the wing backs in.

    3-3-2-2. Back 3, Smallwood and wingbacks, Walker and Pointon, Cook and Kavanagh. I really like it and hope we stick with it next year.

    In fairness, Pointon, Walker and Kavanagh are all very fluid and rotate well so the formation can be absolutely anything when we're going forward. It's probably a reason we've looked good in that department for the last 6 weeks or so.

    Well if you're sure. Most sides are lining up 523 at the minute, and I believe we did too.

    Yeah you're probably right in that it was a little bit of both. I've no doubt we saw each formation, as we were very fluid as you say.

    I wonder if we’ll do anything around keepers. There’s Twitter rumours linking us with Max Struik but doubt he or Walker would want to be number 2 and Walker has done well. Will we go with Doyle and Hadi or maybe bring in a prem/champ youngster as number 2, meaning we could loan Hadi to a national league team

    Be happy with Stryjek.

    First choice keeper for Wycombe for 2 years before a red card saw him lose his place and end up on loan at Crewe.

    Are the rumours based on nothing but him having an outstanding game at VP though?

    Pearce is a LWB. Fill a void.

    Chaz Wyke, nice competition for Cook. Good mates with Smallwood and Gilli. You never know...

    Humphrys at Wigan released. Forward, 26, 9 goals in 38 this season at L1 level.

    Could offer something perhaps.

    I'd say our formation was much more of a 3-4-3 than either of those. At worst a 3-4-2-1
