I’d like to see Hak tweak the formation from the 4-3-3 to a 4-2-3-1, like we played against Potter’s Bar. A small change, but one that could have big consequences, not least more defensive solidity.
Wynter + 1 as the double pivot gives the defence more protection.
If our wingers aren’t going to track back, then it allows each of those in the DP to cover a side of the pitch. Tbh I think Luke works v.hard off the ball, he was the player who blocked the ball behind for their corner in the 6th minute, from which we countered and scored.
Playing a no 10 gets someone closer to Mills/Lynch, or play both.
Porter/Robe/Lynch/Wanadio could all play there imo. Against PB it was Jeffrey, Wanadio, Marshall, some rotation but Luke was most central.
With Marshall/German’s injury issues I do find it strange we haven’t looked for another CB, even if on loan. Maybe we have and there’s no one of sufficient quality available.
