Would This Formation Work?

I personally think we should give this ago since Bothroyd spends most of his time out wide!

That's a valid point and one I've thought about for a while. Bothroyd has been basically non-existent as a target man and often drifts wide to cut in, so why don't we just play him out there?

After a long think about it though I've felt he'd be better up front and it's not his position he needs to change, just his attitude.

Good point + I can't really see him chasing back all match to defend!

it could, except bothroyd on the right!, that formation would require the wingers like bellamy to do a hell of a lot of tracking back when we are not on the ball, and jay is not one to continually do that all match, some1 like burkey with a high work rate could though!

its to late in the season to change formation to be honest could take 4 games for everyone to get used to it

Our best form comes when we play 4-4-2 and I don't understand why jones isn't playing it.

If Chopra is selected then we have no option but to go with 4-4-2 otherwise we are wasting one of our better players.

One thing for sure is that this nonsense of MC playing out wide has to stop.
