Time for 5-3-2 ?

We've got to stop the rot. as we are short of options in the middle then why not play wing backs.

CBs Blake, Gerrard and Gyepes, Blake at least has a bit of pace to cover the other 2 and leave them to fight for the ball in the air.
Wing Backs: Mcnaughton and Matthews/Burke
Centre Mid Whittingham (L), Rae, McCormack (R)
Bothroyd and Chopra.

Might be able to get better use of Capaldi, Feeney, Tawio etc.. in this formation, and also counter act 5 man midfields.
alternatively you could play capaldi or Kenneddy at Left wing back and play mcNaughtn as one of the 3 centre backs, maybe instead of Blake ?
What do you think ?

I reckon 5,3 5, may work for us. Mind you, have we got enough players, I'd ask Bloomy, but apparently, he's a c**t. :?
