I'd like to see 4-2-3-1:
GK
ROUX REID SMITH DOYLE
TUILOMA THEMI
KOSTA ROJAS THOMAS
WOOD
SUBS: RGK, boxall, weemac, smeltz, rufer (ahead of ridenton/howieson/h-wihongi)
Boxall covers CB/RB
Tuiloma covers RB/LB
Themi covers CB
Smith covers LB
Weemac covers DM and wide mid
Smeltz covers CF
10 is the problem
Not sure Marco is a natural 10
Rufer next best 10 (and wide forward cover); whereas ridenton, h-wihongi, howieson are really only suited to DM cover.
Definitely time to forget the kids/projects and those yet to experience a pro environment - as none of them have shown enough.
Just wish Hudson would play this formation as it is natural for all of the players and I'd like him to stick with it from now until the end.
