    I hope we see Scannell and Ismail as proper wide men with Donaldson and a combination of Vaughan/McCarten/Doyle with maybe Gibson at times in a No. 10 role.

    Vaughan can also switch with Donaldson, but would be better playing alongside him I agree

    They are both playing tonight aren't they? It's another mostly trialist team I'm led to believe.

    Gotta be Vaughan and Donaldson up front with scannell on the right for me. Play a simple 442 formation. Bring in a left winger and a midfield anchor, and we’re there.
    A part of why we failed last season was because we messed around with formations too much, and played men out of position.

    Ismail and Scannell can play either wing. Neither left footed but if Longridge gets forward well enough it won't matter too much that we potentially have a right footer cutting in as long as Longridge gets on his bike and keeps the width on that left hand side. I agree another wouldn't harm as I don't fancy Patrick or Gibson being back up for the left wing spot. Robinson getting the charges dropped wouldn't be bad timing. Still amazed how long it's taken, but let's not get into that.

    Yes, I remember Hopkins 'run' in December. Same players, same formation, win after win. Then he became bored of winning and his ego took over and he started messing with formations and the starting 11. I'm actually still angry about it 8 months on...

    Football is such a simple game. 4-4-2 all the way this season - Vaughan and Donaldson are made for each other.

    Always thought he was a decent lower league 'horrible sod'. At 32 does he still have the appetite and legs for it though? If he does and his misdemeanor isn't anything serious we could probably do worse than a cheeky enquiry on his availability.

    It does but our current squad is made for 442.

    Two of our three CFs should bag for fun in league two with the proper supply.

    I just want round pegs in round holes for a change. Parky would get this squad promoted.

    I think Doyle bags in this division too. We have 3 strikers all capable of getting over 20 goals if the service is there.

    You're right, looking at the squad it seems to be the best option but I know for certain Bowyer prefers the 433. Add to this Donaldson played on the right of a front 3 for Brentford and Scannell has been popping up on the left a lot in these friendlies and I can see something like that happening.

    Agree, I didn’t phrase that very well. 2/3 playing, happy with whichever combination it may be.

    Quite possibly before your time. Forget Jewell, you are probably too young, but Parkinson liked his 4-4-2 and his record here was very good. If you have the correct squad it is the simplest and most effective formation to play at this level.

    You say that but not one of the four teams who got promoted from league 2 last year played 442.
