WestYorksRoyal It's not just one game. We played much better against Forest, but we were still missing the focal point this formation relies upon.

URZZZZ Never see 5 at the back as a permanent fix, we don’t have a single wingback who contribute enough to goals/assists to play it (I’m aware Yiadom has three assists btw but they were hardly typical assists of a wingback)
OK as a one off game, but I’d be disappointed to see us return to it on a long term basis unless we actually have the players out wide to deliver the goods

Does it matter how he gets them?
Between them our full backs have 2 goals and 6 assists. That doesn't seem an especially poor showing as long as we're not relying on them as our sole attacking output.
Comparisons to wide forwards get complicated because quite a few of them also play upfront or in midfield, but I doubt the different is huge. The only fullback you wouldn't expect to contribute much in the way of goals and assists at all is Gunter.

WestYorksRoyal Another disappointing result and performance. 2 points from 4 games since Joao's injury. I repeat my opinion. Our system relies upon a striker who can play his role; it's shit without him.

Stranded Still not sure a shift back to 3-5-2 is the right way forward but unless we do bring in a striker capable of effectively being the lone man by Friday a shift is needed.
Perhaps 4-1-3-2 is the way forward with the current available players as the defence is for the most part pretty solid. So for example:
Rafael
Gunter
Morrison
Moore
Blackett
Pele
Ejaria
Adam/Olise
Swift
Puscas
Baldock
Not a massive change from what we are doing now and puts a little more onus on the full backs but could be effective.
