Plan A the good ol 4-3-3 is probably best suited to our current players?
Ok this isn't promotion stuff based on the last three years but still effective in keeping us in the top ten.
We tried the 4-4-2 this season and it epically failed. Maybe NP would have cracked it within a year but meh this is a results based industry. If your team is in the relegation zone then you gotta change things up ASAP?
What's our plan C if any?
A good team ie, Real Madrid have A/B/C/D+ in-order.
Could Keogh, Pearce and Shacks be in a back 3 in the same game?
Carson
Keogh, Pearce, Shacks
Bradley
Christie, Hughes, Butters, Olsson
Vydra, Anya
Kick and insert players as you like.
3 at the back leaves us a bit meh going forward, with the way our L/R backs play it sometimes gets messy on the wings. The amount of times I've watched the likes of Christie and Ince bump in to each other is crazy, same with Fozzy and Russell.
Just one of my many 'tarded thoughts anyway, we played a consistent formation for 3 years, it worked a treat 50% of the time. Exciting football which scored plenty of goals.
I just can't see us going up sticking to a rigid format, if you can think of decent plan A to Z's then gis a shout, I'll run them through football manager xD
Plan A/B/C all the way to Z

It's true that Johnson played wide on the left when Norwich got promoted, and scored 15 goals. Not all wide midfielders play as old-fashioned wingers. Johnson played in tandem with Martin Olsson and they functioned very effectively as a pair, Olsson being an attacking full-back and with Johnson covering his runs in case he lost the ball. Johnson is aerially strong so scored a few on the far post from right-wing crosses.
Just goes to show the importance of players playing together rather than just looking at them as individuals. I'm not suggesting Johnson playing there for us is the right thing to do but his success at Norwich shows that such a thing is not entirely ridiculous. Our Olsson is not as good as theirs going forward. Lowe might be though, in time. Very skillful and nippy wingers are not generally the greatest at tracking back to help their full backs so what you gain in one area you might lose in another.
Balance.

They played a 4-2-3-1 too with 2 decent central mids allowing BJ to get forward more.

Short Rse and all round di ck Liam Fox had to swallow the lump in his throat and rush to the toilet to spank himself off. "I'll get those lazy MDs off the golf course and working hard like I do. They've all had it too easy for too long, Ooooooooooooooooo, that's better, bend over Boris".

Can you try to use the same logic to Cyrus?

I can try, Iwas. Christie must be difficult to play with because he is inconsistent in his choices. Sometimes he careers off on a run that can be quite effective but his final ball is often poor. He doesn't overlap as a traditional right-back might. If he did this a bit more reliably it would give the wide right player the option of cutting inside or playing it for the full back. Because Christie often stays put and likes to have the ball played to his feet he and Ince (when they play together) sometimes occupy the same space and get in each other's way. I have thought that this season he has been getting in his crosses a bit earlier than previously though which is a good sign.

Thanks I'll sleep tonight.
Good to finally get some detail from May though. The week after U.K. Cars lined up under the Eiffel Tower not a word of support for the industry. Whereas May chooses to attack labelling industry that was born in Cambridge University and split up to become global leaders in the market.
The Euro negotiators must be crapping themselves at the anticipation of locking horns with our lot.

Your superstate is on the brink of disaster and we're just in the first lifeboat is all: it'll be remembered by future generations as an experiment gone horribly wrong.
