Will Malky opt for 4-5-1?

Got a feeling that we may see the return of the 4-5-1 on Sat. We haven't been very fluent of late,seem to be lacking fit/confident striking options to form a partnership and formation worked well against Blackpool away last year when it was introduced. Line up could be along the lines of

Marshall
Taylor
Turner
Hudson
Connelly/McNaughton
Bellamy
Gunnarson
Whittingham
Kim/Cowie
Noone
Helgusson

May be worth a shout?

I agree with the team but I think bellamy isn't as effective on the wing, i would put him upfront with helgason. Also we have won the last three away games so I would say why fix it if it ain't broken :)

I hope so as we will need to keep the ball against Blackpool and be difficult to break down. We absolutely killed Blackpool away last season playing 4-5-1, it was the most one sided 1-1 draw I have ever seen and it was in my opinion, our best performance of the season. Personally, I would love to see Tommy Smith being brought in as the third centre midfielder as I think he would be awesome there. My team would be:

Marshall

Taylor
Turner
Hudson
Connolly

Whittingham
Gunnarsson
Smith

Conway
Noone

Bellamy

Please, no.

I thought we had banished 4-5-1. :shock:
