I mentioned before I wanted to change our formation after the International break when AJ and Engels come back from injury.
I’m not sure we have the strikers to play a 3-4-1-2 after watching last night.
Celtic played well with plenty of crosses and loads of corners but our strikers don’t get shots away.
I was thinking with the players we have a 3-4-2-1 formation would destroy teams after the split.
Sinisalo
Johnston, Trusty, Scales
Araujo, Engels, Calmac, KT
Nygren, Oxlade
Any one of our Four strikers.
Nygren and Oxlade can make all kind of runs between them to help our lone striker.

Are you Wilfred in disguise?

Buzz - agree with same type of set up against the other mob on Sunday.

We've always been on the same page when it comes to formations Buzzbomb, I'd like MON to try this or similar.
27 Feb 2026 13:15:53
Not hard to disagree with that as we have been struggling in almost every game since MON returned after Nancy. Whether he decides to switch things up is a different matter, but something needs to happen because every domestic team we play is finding it far too easy.

Nygren great option from bench maybe, he’s just missing and a man down in midfield.

It is in midfield where the game will be won or lost. We need players in there, so we don't get overrun, as we have been all season.
Buzz, think changing things like you suggest may make us difficult to beat and spring opportunities on the attack, as their defence is as poor as ours.

Jaa - you can’t say that about the top scorer.
Hatate you certainly could but without Nygren and his goals where would we be.
3-4-2-1 or 3-4-1-2 one of them would allow him to stay further up the pitch where he can affect games and leave the other 7 to keep the defence secure.

Of course I can, Bishopton, you can't deny his back for a goal, but he's simply rank elsewhere.- scored plenty but missed twice as many.- leaves midfield terribly exposed.- pace isn't there.- doesn't have an engine like others. Sounds as if I'm leathering him here, I'm trying not to, u can't get away from how important his goals have been, I'd have played him cf if he was just a bit stronger.But in tough games like this he's just not an option for me, as we can't afford to be that exposed, similar to Tonetki, he's prob beginning to make a claim to play over Daizen, but Daizen running alone would have him in this game also (like the away euro ties, ) .
