Is it a case of damage limitation, all out attack or the same old of recent?
Personally after seeing the recent performances i would adopt a 5-3-2 formation which some may view as negative but it could be just the balance that suits the players we have at present.
Blanchard playing with Nelson to his right and Richards to his left would be a formidable centre of defense imo with Blanchard allowed to venture out of the back 5 when on attack to give holding support to the midfield 3 of Hourihane sandwiched between Lowry and the creative option of Gurrieri.
Berry and S.Griffiths being given the roles of wing backs as both are a danger going forward and will provide excellent width when needed.
Then the strike partnership of Madjo and Macca which i believe would really work well, Madjo is strong and can hold the ball up better than most in the squad and Macca can either play off the shoulder of the bradford defense or come deep and use his pace to expliot the wings and run directly at the opposition.
Thoughts?
