Why do people think we play 4-2-3-1?

We more often played 4-2-2-2 with the box midfield last year. The only time we seemed to play 4-2-3-1 was with Brocks spearheading the line.

I think most of the season it was a slightly lopsided 4-4-2 diamond, or a slightly llopsided 4-2-2-2 box midfield (maybe a parallelogram? Is that right word?). Basically Riera stayed back at all times and WeeMac stayed forward all the time, while A-Rod/Lia mostly stayed  back and Roly mostly stayed forward.We also played a 4-2-3-1 with the Griff a couple of times

I don't think the parallelogram is our best formation. We should move to a pentagram.

The 2-3-1 in a 4-2-3-1 is kind of a pentagram. Or were you thinking an inversed one might suit us better? 

Inversed pentagram. But struggling to see how we would fit Jeffrey into that.

Bad idea. Carry on.

On the other hand, our current setup doesn't really utilise crosses well, so maybe a fresh approach is needed
