I think this team (and formation) would get us results. Torp playing a little further ahead of Sheaf & Rudoni.

3 big central defenders would be pretty sluggish against quicker forwards.
That midfield would probably get overrun.
I don't think BTA is the answer. Simms or Bassette are better options going forward.

It’s not a bad shout but (a) I would, for the time being, continue with Simms up front alongside Wright and (b) I reckon Bassette could be worth trying in the hole behind the strikers. This latter position might also suit BT-A.

We will never know unless MR gives it a go.

Bassette or BTA or EMC adapting their role for a year till we make the expected sale of one of either Wright or Simms,but got to get him scoring first!

Depends what formation your playing against, think that’s similar ( different players) to the wolves game ) it got us playing further up the pitch, like somebody else said it leaves us a bit open at the back, can’t do any worse though can it

Can't agree with any suggestion that picks BTA ahead of Simms.

I don’t hate it but I do worry it’s not playing to our strength which is our attack, to be missing Saka, Simms and EMC seems like a bit of a waste tbh. We can score goals, we’re just too passive and backwards-thinking, we should use a more attacking formation imo, be more confident and fluent with our passing rather than looking backwards all the time.

The priorities for me are finding a system that does the following:
- Enables MVE the freedom to get up and down the pitch
- Gives us defensive solidity at left back and someone who can use the ball from that position too
- Stops us getting overrun in midfield
- Gets EMC on the left side of the pitch rather than the right but also facilitates the fact Wright is most effective there


My proposal would be nominally a 4-2-3-1 but that becomes a 3-2-5 in possession, which is broadly what Ipswich used to great effect, and Boro in the season we beat them in the playoffs. It could look a bit like this:

GK

RCB LCB LB

CM CM

RB RW CF AM LW



In terms of personnel. You can do it with:

Dovin

Thomas Kitching Binks

Sheaf Eccles

MVE Sakamoto Simms EMC Wright

The benefits of this would be:

- Less open on the break as no onus on the left back (Binks in this case) to go forward like Bidwell and Dasilva are encouraged to do. He essentially slots in as a LCB
- You can end up with Sheaf or Eccles joining MVE and Sakamoto on the right and EMC and Wright on the left to create overloads
- You fit EMC and Wright in the same team together, they would need to work on their understanding but I'm sure they're both capable
- MVE has even more freedom to pile forward

The downsides:
- Would Binks get exposed out there? Maybe, but he won't be worse defensively than Bidwell has been so far this season or than Dasilva is
- No sure how Rudoni fits, maybe as an alternative to Sakamoto
- I don't think this could work if Sheaf isn't fit as it would be too exposing for Torp/Rudoni and Eccles
