Not ideal?
That formation had us in 20th place before the change. If we return to playing it on a regular basis the season is a write off.
It’s not just the formation and when interviewed, Robins had no issues with our performances back then. No COH, and a side that needed ‘bedding in’.
The big change wasn’t so much the formation, it’s been the partnership of Sakamoto and MVE down the right wing. Can you imagine Simms, Palmer or Allen in his place?
We will rightfully keep 4-2-3-1 as a formation unless Sakamoto get injured.
