Bring back the diamond

[dickos1]

No, that is not correct.

We change throughout most games from a 4 to a 3, or vice versa. It seems for all the games we win you're saying we played 4 and the ones we lost we played 3. Which simply isn't the case

Well in the last 3 games we have played 3 at the back with wing backs. That is for definate and if you don't agree I suggest you ask DF and I am 100% sure he will confirm it.

Blair was right back with Copps, Houghton, Grant and Rowe in the diamond.
When he subbed Mason he played Rowe at left back with Blair right back and Alcock and Butler centre backs.

Sorry you are so wrong. You must have been at a different match to the one I was at.

I do agree, but we've played more than the last 3 games with 3 at back,

I agree with that, in fact our formations are more flexible than they've ever been

[Alan Southstand]

When they warmed up before the game on Saturday - it was as a 4. That changed during the game to a 3 and then sometimes back to a 4 again.

Personally, I think with Blair as a RB, its easy to switch from 4 to 3, a 3 when we are attacking and a 4 when we're defending. Simples!

Flat back four throughout January with Blair at RB.

[GazLaz]

Rowe at left wing back is s massive waste of talent for me.

And 5 straight wins.. So why 3 draws and a lose (Is it any change)  It will have to alter now with injury to Houghton...

Easy grant to play Houghton's role allowing a reversion to a diamond

[Alan Southstand]

Mason to DM, Alcock to LB.

Job done.

Which was same against morecambe,
And all the games since we've switched from a 4 to a 3 and vice Versa throughout the games.
We probably switched many times in January to a 3 aswell.
Switching to a 3 in games has won us matches

[drfchound]

Yes i know that, DF said the same in his post match interview on Saturday too.
We switched to a back two for a while on Saturday as well, did you notice that one?
I was talking about starting line ups.

[dickos1]

If we're changing formations throughout a match I can't see how one can be blamed for not winning matches. We might start with a 4 and change to a 3 within the first 15 mins.
Blair can play full back, wing back or right wing, Alcock and mason can play centre half full back or wing back, Rowe can play wing back, full back or left wing, even centre mid.
It's good that we're so adaptable, it shouldn't be criticised
