As you can see we will be continuing with the 3-5-2 formation which has worked pretty well over the past few weeks. I must stress that it is most effective when we play with this system as both an attacking and defensive unit, adapting accordingly.
It means that Jon and Andy J have to play flexibly going up and down the wing, supporting the forwards and blocking the attacking right and left backs (no pressure).
I also envisage that having an additional central midfielder means a link up to the forwards (Sam), a play maker (Greg) and a defensive midfielder (Jose) playing in front of the back three. That is the beauty of the system but can take some time to get used to!!
Obviously it does place additional pressure on the defence but the defensive midfielder's role is to protect them with the support of the wide 'wing backs' doing the same out wide.
We play best when we pass the ball around, make the correct decisions and believe in both our individual and collective abilities. Let's keep to those principles on Thursday and have a great game.
