This is what I was saying back in March 2017..
I'm all for a consistent system across all age groups, and a long-term plan. It's just a pity that Ruud Dokter and the rest went for a 4-3-3 when they were choosing what we would play. For years we've had good centre backs, good full backs, runners/dogs in midfield, and strikers who don't play well up front on their own.. 3-5-2 takes advantage of the strengths that we consistently seem to have (centre-backs, full-backs, midfield runners) and mitigates against the weaknesses by getting us an extra body a bit further up the pitch. It also helps you to get more of your best players on the pitch - both Coleman and Doherty can start in this system, and it suits more of your regularly playing players - all 3 of Egan, Doherty and Stevens have played their best football at club level in this system. Put as many of your best players as you can in their best positions. And get as many of your best players on the pitch as you can. If you do that, it stands to reason that you'll win more games than if you don't. 3-5-2 also makes up for the lack of pace we normally have in defence. I feel like it's the best cultural fit for us with the kinds of players we normally produce - shame it's not what they chose back then to implement across all age groups - nothing to say you can't play nice football with 3 at the back.... Also, just looking at those teams there, it shows that where we've really lost players over the past 3 years has been up front - only Long and Hendrick are still playing for us out of any of the front players, and only Hendrick is making squads... we're in bad need of one or two of those young lads who play up front to come good.. unless they do it won't matter what system we play! |

Just looking at the Coventry team tonight. Both Jordan Shipley and Callum O Hare can play for us can’t they? 23 and 22 years old respectively and both playing a lot in the championship surely more worthy ahead of Curtis, Harness and others?

What has Shipley been like? He’s played for our 21s O Hare would have to get his papers sorted if he declares
