Our formation

For me we must try to play our 4-1-3-2 formation which has served us so well. We played this in our first four games in which were, on the whole, very good and with a little luck could easily have won them all. We also played it against Birmingham where they stifled us a bit but we still showed flashes of our previous form. On the two occasions we changed it, at Palace and in the first half against Leeds, we struggled. When we reverted back agaist Leeds in the second half we played very well again.
We should try to play 4-1-3-2 as often as possible we have got Reid, Pep, McGugan, Lansbury, Coppinger, Raddi and Cohen who can all quite effectively be incorporated into this system with mininmal fuss.
For me SO'D picked the teams against Palace and Leeds to counter what he thought they'd play against us. With the squad we have we should put our our best possible team and let the opposition worry about countering us.
