wingnut Problem with 352 formations, at least in this country, is no one knows how to play the sweeper role properly. 352 ends up being 532 with a flat back 5 and the midfield being overrun.
More importantly for us is that we had no width last season even when fielding a team with 5 wingers so I'd h8 to see us with none.

Guus Hiddink said in an interview...
Is there any formation you feel is more efficient than the rest?
4-4-2, 3-5-2, 4-3-3… whatever formation you end up playing, for me it is always a question of what you do as a team and, as a consequence, how individuals interact: what position you take when you have the ball, your first intention when you’re in possession. These are the key elements for a football team, not formation as such.
So, do you fit players to formations, or formations to the players?
For sure, the formation I use depends on the players I have. If I play with one striker it doesn’t mean I prefer one striker. If I have three good strikers I’ll try to use them all.
How and when do you decide to play three or four at the back?
It depends on the opponent – and then on the defenders and their habits. If, for example, as youngsters they were used to playing three at the back, it can be hard for them to fit into four at the back.
For some players it really is a big problem to change from one formation to another. You have to be very careful if you want to change things radically, especially with the national team – when you don’t really have enough time to practise a lot or teach them how to play differently from what they’ve been used to playing at their clubs.

If you still hate Futcher Why is everyone so fixated on McCleary playing on the wing?
I would love to see him playing up top, either alongside Pog or maybe even on his own. He's not bad in the air and his pace and skill would enable him to work the channels. If we can get the ball to him there he'd be running at centre backs rather than full backs
Didn't he play there for Forest a few times, one of them when he scored 4(?) against Leeds
