Either in a back 3 or just in front of 2 CBs, with the other midfielders we have the defence looks exposed otherwise. Danny needs a formation which allows defensive protection without stifling creativity futher forward, and yesterday's line up and team performance seemed to offer neither.
With a 3 (and without Bostwick) we looked secure for most of the game at Vale, with 2 including Bostwick, horribly vulnerable at BP. Hard to tell accurately from the iFollow extended highlights, but whereas we won most second balls at Vale, we weren't at the races in that respect yesterday.
I'd go 4-1-2-3 but as with all our punditry on here, I don't see how they're training and talk to the squad daily, the Cowleys will analyse, talk, and plan accordingly for a different challenge on Tuesday.
