I should probably have an idea of this but I’m blanking, does Greenie have a preferred on field set up he’s been using for the under 20s or academy team?

One curious thing about Chris Greenacre’s WeeNix side is they’re the only one of the three A-League Reserve teams that didn’t mimic the style of their senior team
It’s probably down to Chiefy’s tinkering (three distinct styles in each season he was at the club) making it impossible to keep up... but Chris Greenacre never did a high line with the WeeNix. Never did a back three (even though three of his best players were CBs – Jayden Smith, Mac Munro, and Dylan Gardiner). Never did wing-backs. Always tried to have a second striker or attacking midfielder to support the main centre-forward. They’ve been doing 4-2-2-2 variations since Ufuk Talay was in town regardless of how the first team operated. Dunno if that’s the best way to prepare players for the jump up into A-League action when they’re called upon but it does give Greenie something different to fall back upon now that he’s replacing The Chief.
