yesterday seemed like it was more of a 4-5-1/ 4-3-3. either way holt was isolated. in a 4-2-3-1 we would be playing with 4 up top when attacking and 2/3 when defending, it's what could be called a very aggresive defensive formation, its one of the only formations that suits us as we are adamant on playing coady hogg and buttercup and out of them three I dont know who would play in a midfield two should we play 4-4-2, coady and hogg would be two defensive and the gaps would appear before kick off, hogg and butterfield would be a awkward as hogg would be required to do the running and butts would become a passenger, coady and butts would be the two i put together and even then i'd have to say it would be a diamond formation.

but still i do believe that 4-2-3-1 is our formation, one of the two deeper mids sweeps up in front of the back line, wins the ball and moves it, the other is the workhorse- he runs and he runs, he gets the ball and shifts it. the wide men of the three are wingers, out and out wingers, they attack and get the ball in the box. the middle man looks for the ball in and around their final third and moves it wide, then gets himself in and around the area. the one uptop stays up top, but doesnt get isolated as whenever we defend, there's him and one other left up there. the advanced three take it in turns to go back.

obviously this is what I feel is right going by our players and what we would have on the bench
