I think we need to have another look at Reid up front for this one. One more chance and he might finally do something after 3 years.

Solid ratings for the lad so far, really feel like he’s coming into some form. So glad we aren’t signing another forward to slow his development

Won't happen but I'd love to see us try 3 at the back and 2 up top. I genuinely think 3-5-2 is a real option for us. 

 

McCarthy 

Aluko Soutter Okoli 

Joseph Braybrook Skipp Alves Watson 

BCR/Cullen Bristic 

 

No Thomas 🙌🏼 Aluku slots nicely into a back 3 but maybe better on the left side to cover Watson. Joseph gets to push on, he is fantastic defensively but he's so good going forward. Alves gets to play as a 10 or certainly more centrally with Braybrook and Skipp to cover him. I think 2 up front gets the best out of everyone, maybe BCR can do it as a 2. 

 

It won't happen but you can dream.

I wonder how long it'll be before we get the next 3atb thread? :P

This but could go either way in McFarlane or Aluko at LB. I guess McFarlane needs to play at some point. Just concerning he’s had 0 mins. 
 

Definitely no LT.

 

We just know Alex Mc and LT will start along with Bobby, the “thinking man(ager)’s” player up top, don’t we.

Him or Cullen seems to be the only option currently which I agree isn't filling me with much optimism but I think both will be better alongside someone

Just looks so much more toothless than what we have. Then you've got Okoli needing to be on the ball a lot more. Got a proper right footed winger playing as left wingback too
