I agree 4-4-2 is a good option, but Spoony doesn't have the legs to play on the flank anymore, as much as that pains me to say. However, we don't have anyone else do we!
Imagine us playing a system like this and actually employing wingers, to play in their correct position.
When we were linked with signing Forrest from Livi in January, that would have been a good signing in this system. However, CD was obviously going to shoehorn him into some random position, so made no sense.
The thought of playing higher up the park with forward players pressing sounds like a dream.
