New system that was played today

[SuperHoopNik]

Based on a famous club. One of our players tweeted a picture of himself studying this particular system the other day and has now deleted it. Austin said today that we tried a new system and it worked for us in the second half. Probably shouldn't reveal but I have to say it looks decent. Looked very threatening in the second half once the players got familiar with it as Austin said.

1st half looked very similar to the system employed at Charlton and v Blackpool. Both of which were changed and resulted in 1 whole point against 2 shite teams.
Thankfully, today it was changed again. I bet he's doesn't try it again v Millwall.....

I have to say I think it was a crazy decision. Why change what has in all intents and purposes worked for 8months when you have 5 games left. We keep going on about consistency and momentum then we change the system that has got us where we are

I think the system was changed for one reason and one reason only because Harry does not want to drop one of Dunne or Hill and knows he has to play Nedum so the easy option is play all of them in a back three

[Ablockhoop]

Disagree.
I think this has always been Harry's intention but due to injuries we haven't been able to do it!

Finally getting 90% of our squad back!

I think we should play it going into the playoffs as well!

Hoilett looked like he would play it well when he come on

Some of our recent games have been 352. What is the big secret?

[DeepcutHoop]

44 games down and we're experimenting with systems...

If we are to play that system we can't have Carroll and Barton as centre mid, Watford completely overan midfield in the first half, and if Simpson or traore lost the ball upfield we were woefully exposed down the flanks! We need a hod carrier like Henry if we are to play that system

[Olly]

In a normal 352 you have 2 cdm's and a cam. Quite agree we got caught a few times down the sides.

352 in simple terms yeah

[Olly]

We gave it away a bit second half kick off. Dunne, Ned and Hill just in front of the 18 yd line. Simpson, Doyle, Ravel, Charlie and Traore all on the halfway line. Carrol and Joey on the centre circle.

[nasser95]

What it looked like at least in the second half was a rotational 352 with the two wing backs switching between attacking and depending based on the movement of the other. So if traore attacked, hill would move to left back and we would go into a 4 at the back as usual, until traore got back. Then when Simpson attacked, onuoha moved to right back and the same happened. This gave us a really good fluidity in switching between defending and attacking.

[Shepherds Mush]

Personally dont think Carroll and Barton are the best pairing in that middle. Inconsistency of games together leaves their understanding in a vital area lacking at times.

[dave58]

Didn't really work thought we were abysmal for 70 mins

[gator]

I wasn't at the match but it didn't look like a true 3-5-2 until Hoilett came on for Simpson and there was more desperation in our play!

[vanhoop]

Harrys substitutions won the game
