I think with the personnel that we have...

We're crying out to play 3/5 at the back employing wing backs.

Would give olson more freedom to get forward and we'd have extra cover in the centre for when Whittaker gets caught out of position or martin is being s**te. Depending on who plays on the right.

Would wtill give the manager plenty of options with the midfield and playing 2 up top if he wanted.

Only problem with that system is fitting redmond in, he would probably have to play a little more centrally. Think it's worth a go with our obvious defensive issues though.
