No, 5-3-2 is a wing back formation. 5-4-2 is playing with a rush goalie!
 
My vote is for 4-4-2 - we tore Sydney FC apart with that the other day so that'll do me! Reckon the team looked really comfortable in that shape...

so, did we play 4 - 4 - 2 against Bling? I read Old, Clebs, Dodd and Lockhead were the 4 backs. How did the rest line up?

Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet

I like the 4-3-3/4-5-1 type formation  but I'm pretty sure that they'd play 4-4-2

Yeah, 4-4-2 seems the obvious choice, but I think 4-5-1 might have it's merits. The midfeild seemed a tad thin at times on Sunday, but that may just be the team adjusting to each others style more than anything.
