Don't think it's meant to be a 4-4-2 with wingers. More likely the usual diamond formation.
What is the alternative to Clarke?

I say risk Eastwood upfont with Nimely, let the crowd decide his fate.

Wasn't sure tbh. If that is the case Clarke will have to play. We are really down to bare bones in defence. Wonder if there is a clause to call McPake back?

It's got to the stage where AT has to see who turns up fit enough to play before he can decide on a line up and formation.

We can always text in to make a substitution if the formation isn't working.

That is a bit harsh, but we sure do need better if we're to have any chance of surviving. Should be a bench player.

He's the best we have got at the moment. From what I have heard he has been playing well recently, although we do need someone who can actually score goals desperately.

The thing about Platt is, if he has an off day, he is liable to look awful. If his flick ons and hold up play is off, he can't really offer anything else. No pace (which impacts on his closing down and ability to make tackles), no real eye for a pass or huge goal threat. This is why I thought he got a little unfair stick upon arrival. It is somewhat similar to the situation with Andy Thorn... if you were expecting a world beater; you should have borne in mind that he would probably even describe himself as a journeyman striker, playing at his highest ever level, 33 years old, and cost £25k (rising to £50k depending on add ons). He comes across as a really likeable bloke and, on his day, offers a real problem to defences. Is he the answer to our rise to mid-table mediocrity? No. Is anyone else on our books? Er, well, to be honest, no.

Haven't told my missus either.
Why do you think I am sweating like mad in the kitchen at the moment trying to conjure up a special meal?
Ready by 5.30, eaten by 6 pm., tell her at 6.25 p.m., leave for the match at 6.30 pm.

We'd probably have to send norwood back to free up wages to recall McPake...

Going for a complete mix up as what we are currently doing is not working. Got to change if what you are doing is not working.

I actually think when all players are fit a 3-5-2/5-3-2 formation might suit us, with wing backs. I would go with (assuming fully fit squad):
GK - Murphy
RWB - Christie
CB - Cranie
CB - Hreidersson
CB - Keogh
LWB - Hussey
(D)CM - Deegan/Norwood
(D)CM - Clingan
(A)CM - Baker
ST - Nimely
ST - McSheffrey

Platt should be nowhere near the starting 11. However, I agree he has to start as we have nothing better.
Over his career he's not even been a one-in-five striker; and less than one-in-ten accounting for all his appearances in a City shirt. Yes, he grafts - of a fashion - but that's not enough to command a starting berth at this level
