I'd stick with 5-3-2 but change the personnel

4-2-3-1 for me, was a formation designed to utilise Buendia's talents. It also asks a huge amount of the fullbacks as they need to provide attacking width and I just don't think Giannoulis and Williams are up to it, I think we'd get destroyed and not sure it plays to our attacking strengths in the absence of Buendia.

If we were canning 5 at the back, I'd go 4-3-3, giving Tzolis and Rashica a chance to show what they can do.

But, my preference would be:

Krul
Aarons Omabamidele Hanley Kabak Giannoulis

PLM Normann

Gilmour

Pukki Tzolis

  - but do you tak those sorts of risks when your job is on the line... (n/m) (NCFC) - CWC, Oct 25, 09:56:15
    - agree Gibson is currently the weakest player in the CB position. (n/m) (NCFC) - pinkney, Oct 25, 12:08:15
    - I don’t know but the worst thing he can do is put out that turgid sh*te team and lose (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 25, 09:59:53
      - At least he can’t play Gibson though which should improve us (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 25, 10:04:50
  - That should say “unleash” (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 25, 09:37:08

  - Massive straw-clutching going on here (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Oct 25, 09:53:57
    - Tettey was also part of a team that stayed up though (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 25, 09:55:55
      - Yes. We were averaging a point per game with Tettey in the side at one point last time (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 25, 10:35:15
  - It’s just so incredibly obvious isn’t it? I don’t get it. (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 25, 09:43:47
    - Even Amadou felt like an after thought! (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 25, 09:50:48
      - I wonder if Amadou was a stats recruit (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Oct 25, 10:21:17
  - Can we do any more loons in Jan? (NCFC) - CWC, Oct 25, 09:31:00
    - Unlimited foreign loans, but would need to send back either Gilmour or (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 25, 09:36:50
  - Omobamedeli as a cdm would be a option (n/m) (NCFC) - pinkney, Oct 25, 09:30:45
    - Why can’t we just play Sorensen, in his actual position we signed him for (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 25, 09:48:02
      - He's not good enough? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 25, 09:56:20
        
        PLM is the embodiment of why we are what we are. (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 25, 10:02:54
        
        Well yes, but then surely Sorensen is too? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 25, 10:04:47
        
        We don;t know do we as he's never given a chance. The one time this seaosn he did play CM (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 25, 10:37:20
        
        But he isn't a physical presence (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 25, 11:50:27
        
        He's stronger than PLM but what it really needs is positional discipline (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 25, 12:00:50
        
        I don’t really know how you can say that definitively (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 25, 12:33:28
        
        must admit I had forgotten him - he is strong and reads the game well and never panics (NCFC) - pinkney, Oct 25, 12:07:10
    - He's got the attributes but suspect he's never played there (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 25, 09:37:14
    - what makes you think he can play there (n/m) (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Oct 25, 09:35:41
      - Well i just guesses that if hr can play in the middle of a back 3 he could perhaps do it (NCFC) - pinkney, Oct 25, 09:44:06
        
        Sorensen, allegedly (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 25, 09:48:54
