No central midfielder on the bench, i guess Jordan Copp really doesn't figure in Fletchers plans.

We could always move Max into CM just in case there is an injury, otherwise that means Lowry will be playing 90 minutes.

Good call, forgot he can play midfield - it would give the other CM license to get forward.

Also Richards can get some minutes at centre back.

Plus I imagine Gurrieri can play in central midfield if desperate.

2-1 Burton win !

Yes he could move Blanchard or Nelson into central midfield, but then he is making 2 changes to solve 1 problem should it arise. I believe many fans
see a lot of potential in Copp and i find it hard to believe he hasn't been given a chance yet.
Anyway good luck to those that are playing, hoping for a win tonight.

Good god!!! 4-4-2 :thumbs:

About time 4-5-1 does not work, glad we have 2 up to tonight.

 

[Ottawa Green]

4-4-2 on paper but as soon they lineup it will a 10-1 system

Or he just doesn't feature in his plans YET. Fletcher gave him a pro contract in May and the lad is only 18.

For all those who are rejoicing at 4-4-2: were you that happy after the loss to Aldershot, poor draws with Dagenham & Wycombe and the dismal loss to Wimbledon playing 4-4-2?

Or after the free flowing wins over Aldershot, Barnet (second half) and Rochdale under 4-2-3-1?

4-4-2 ain't the Amber Nectar. It can work yes, such as Morecambe, Northampton second half and Barnet first half. But it can also flop, see the examples lifted above. 4-2-3-1 can flop, ala Rotherham/Dorchester but can also do well as listed above. I really don't think we should be celebrating one formation as so much better than the others given the very mixed results of them each, just my opinion. I think some people are looking on 4-4-2 with very rose tinted spectacles. Let's just hope it wins tonight mind.

The one thing I am annoyed about in a 4-4-2 is that Gurreri is starting. He only works in a 4-2-3-1 in the ACM.
