Watkins went off injured for Villa last night.
That must move Cook’s England call up at least 1 place.

I think he tried a 433 with a sitting DM after McDonald came on, but again just had the people in all the wrong positions. If you play a sitting DM, it needs to be one of McDonald or Smallwood, it doesn't seem either can play together. You need Gilly in there as the legs to cover space but he was RB and if he likes Walker as the bridge going forward, so be it. But he seems to juggle around and end up with square pegs in round holes.
For me, if he wants a back 4 again he needs a sitter, i'd go McDonald and drop Smallwood, Gilly and Walker fill the other CM roles. Although at this point i'd be using Pointon more and seeing what we have in guys like Wadsworth or other youths around the place, rather than giving time to players who wont be here next season. But I cant see it happening.Onside likes this. -

The 352 worked really well but once Walker and Pattison got injured against Doncaster we didn't have anyone else to play as left number 8 which is why we ditched it for the 343. In the summer we need to decide what formation we are going for and get the back ups to suit that. We started this season as a 352 then once Smith got injured we didn't have a partner for Cook so we went 343 and 4231 but barely had any wingers. Whatever formation we go for we've got to cut down the number of wingers we've got as I make it 5 plus Kavanagh and Walker who can play on the wing which is far too many.Onside likes this. -

Got to hope that at least 1 of the 3 injured CBs are back ready for then or it will be interesting to see who we play RCB. -

We have enough centrebacks and options up front to get something from these games
