Emc and saka as wingbacks is exciting attacking prospect albeit unlikely to work perhaps
Not saying the entire team should be built around him. Just thinking long term it's more likely we'll work with what we have rather than signing players to fit 352 again. We'd certainly need another CB, another RWB and another LWB and are successful teams utilising this formation at the minute?I’m not sure EMC has done anything to justify building the entire team around getting him on the pitch TBH.
Too many people seem to be reading too much into everything. Robins seems to have a habit of holding back new players. Look at last season. We had strikers nit getting much game time and Godden as our main striker. But as the season progressed our new strikers came in and proved the doubters wrong.Not saying the entire team should be built around him.

EMC is £4m worth of talent - difficult for a club like ours to ignore for too long.
Brad who?Man the recruitment team must hate the Robins tactic shift.
So in my opinion I do think it doesn’t change targets only as:
Milan is our only natural RWB. While Eccles can play there he’s doing great in DM. As such this would be one target.
We have four Centrebacks for three roles. This is personal preference but feel an experienced CB to control the middle would be a target as feel we lack experience in our defence.
In DM since torp has been placed as a ten we only have three players. As such I would want to see one understudy for Sheaf (this could wait until the summer tho) and one experienced box to box CM.
I think all other roles are well covered and imagine Brad would be off to help make way for numbers
Saka wasn’t great when he played RWB last season. He was the biggest beneficiary to the formation changeEmc and saka as wingbacks is exciting attacking prospect albeit unlikely to work perhaps
CollinsBrad who?
I mean we only signed EMC this summer who naturally doesn’t fit into a 352 right?What information?
Summer 2023 we built a squad to play 532 (or however you want to characterise our 5 back), then spent most of the season playing 433. This summer we built a squad for 433 and are now finding form in a 532 again.
You're confusing an agenda with an opinion.
Yeah that’s what I’m saying.I mean we only signed EMC this summer who naturally doesn’t fit into a 352 right?
Once we are fully confident as a squad and have climbed up the league I think there will be games we go back to a back four , especially when Bidwell is fit againNot convinced we'll play 3 CBs all the time. Game to game or within a game I expect we'll change it. MR made a change to stop the bleeding. Don't think we need to read too much into it. You want us to be effective and have depth however we line up.
He has played as a 10 in the past but would wait till he gets more accustomed to the league before trying him thereI mean we only signed EMC this summer who naturally doesn’t fit into a 352 right?
Not really a huge deal then and probably a good thing overallYeah that’s what I’m saying.
eh?We now know, Haji needs to be played down the middle.
Glad to see the back of 4-3-3 to be honest. We have 4 CF's who are all decent. We now know, Haji needs to be played down the middle.
Sakamoto can play AM, with aplomb..
As for Mason-Clark and Rodrigues,. Excellent choices for when we do switch formation in games, or if we need to push the WBs forward.
CM still the prime position in Jan. Thereafter, CB and RWB.
He looked good against Middlesborough and it looks like we may try playing 3-4-3 at points because the personnel is there for it.I’m not sure EMC has done anything to justify building the entire team around getting him on the pitch TBH.
But the only reason you'd have for changing it is if this stopped working.Once we are fully confident as a squad and have climbed up the league I think there will be games we go back to a back four , especially when Bidwell is fit again
Come on guys. Can just climbed onto the bandwagon. Who pushed him off?Spends summer building a squad for 532
Plays 433

I want to get off Mr Robins wild ride
He is similar to bassette. He played at the start of the season but they have put cannon ahead of him since he signedNot a suggestion really but I watched* FGR v Stoke U21s tonight. Stoke had a lad called Emre Tezgel who looks the real deal. Scored all 4 goals.
Just wanted it on record somewhere on here so that if we sign him one day in the future I can say I told you so (actually posted on gmk that we should sign Leon Best after seeing him destroy FGR for saint youth)
* I say watched... this was my view for long periods of the game:
