Change of Formation

[PrideOfLanarkshire]

Do you think it's about time we change our formation / team? We don't seem to have a plan B.

When Devlin Returns would 5 at the back work? With the full backs becoming wing backs (not too different to what they do the now)

I also think wingbacks and three centre halfs could be an option but will we change I'm not so sure as u said we like to push our fullbacks high up the park so I feel the third centre half could offer a bit more protection

[Mrsweetleftfoot]

I'm pretty sure, with the current formation, that Gillespie and McKinnon offer the protection.....

Three CB's would be a good option when trying to stifle the game and be harder to beat.

Incidentally, when is Devlin likely to return??

When McKinnon isn't kicking people lol all joking aside devlin is back full training and scheduled to play development game early December

Not convinced that having 5 defenders on the park would help us; and also the potential impact on the midfield isn't made clear by those advocating it. As has been recognised our full backs already push on and the back 4 get additional cover from Gillespie, who also has the main task to fetch and cary - he is really growing into that role and would far rather he did that than a centre half did so.

We just need better form and cut out fairly basic mistakes.
