Yes his fitness level something else!Some decent performances but will highlight McCann who looks a real player.
Abosulety everywhere and didnt look like he broke sweat.

Another impressive performance. Ledson doesn't deserve to be dropped though. He's been very good this season.
McCann's time will come and it won't be far off with suspensions and injuries and then its up to him to make it his shirt to lose.

No - Earl is going from strength to strength as a wing-back. Let him continue to develop there. Hughes has also found his ideal role on the left of a back three - again leave him there.
We have five players as front line options for the three central midfield places - Ledson, Whiteman, Johnson, Browne, McCann. That is a good set of resources. They will all get used over the course of the season.
Hey, I'm not advocating for the change but it is certainly something that could be looked at going forward, no use not thinking of other ways to play moving forward, line up can obviously be changed but I just threw in any names, main point was the diamond
Unless the shit hits the fan it will be 3-5-2 every game….Frankie has had his fingers burnt tinkering with other formations and didn’t enjoy it.Not like the idea of completely shifting the team around from a formation that has worked, neutralising our two biggest threats in the process and dropping Storey who’s been excellent recently
Can if we go to a back 4 and McCann pays the DCM screeningFrankie is a brave man if he is to drop Ledson, Whiteman or DJ to fit in McCann but he'll only get better when surrounded with quality.
Shame he can't fit all four of them into a side as the incumbent three have done nothing wrong IMO
McCann playing the role of Minder?...........Can if we go to a back 4 and McCann pays the DCM screening
Cause some headaches on the left though
Think that causes us more issues than anything. Earl isn't great at left back defensively and would mean Hughes playing in a two and dropping Storey, or dropping Hughes and playing Storey when I think all the usual back five are currently undroppable.Can if we go to a back 4 and McCann pays the DCM screening

Frankie's diamond has always looked shite though.We know Frankie also likes a diamond, don't suppose you think we can go to something like this?

@Thracia notes the Frankie diamond has been shit, I agree, but IF this could work it's much more attacking, but you'd have to give the fullbacks a lot of licence or expect them to get forward. Basically it'd have to be very tactical and fluid for it to work but if we could bring it together think it'd be a revelation.We know Frankie also likes a diamond, don't suppose you think we can go to something like this?

He’ll get his chance sooner or later with the impending suspension of Ledson or Whiteman. It’s then Ali’s job to make himself undroppable. That should also make the rest of the midfielders think twice about picking up unnecessary bookings.
Ledson and Whiteman are both on 4 yellows.Ledson is only on 3 bookings.
Whiteman probably the first to miss out.
EFL Cup bookings don't count towards the league total.Ledson and Whiteman are both on 4 yellows.

Ah, cool. I had just googled and it took me to a Sky Sports stats page and it just said both had 4 yellows, didn't mention league or cup.EFL Cup bookings don't count towards the league total.
I get it, that's why I said in my first post the left side is the problemThere's a big correlation between Earl playing wing back and Earl playing well.
I think if we are playing a back 4, then realistically Greg has to be in the left back slot.
