I guess it depends on how narrow the diamond is in the middle,

when we played it under Lambert, we'd have Fox, Surman and Crofts all of whom we're quite central. I suppose Bennett and Surman could play and drift out wide but think that would leave Johnson too exposed in the middle. Be interesting to see what formation we play!

    - yep, the main worry with this formation to me (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Aug 10, 15:22:25
      - we have to shape change, Wes might have to come back more into the middle. (NCFC) - usacanary, Aug 10, 15:25:55
        
        yeah, I think Wes may drop quite deep (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Aug 10, 15:39:40
