And 95% of the time one up frontHe has changed the formation a fair bit here but it has always had a back 4 rather than 3 centre backs from memory.

Definitely be signing him then.Obita was out for two years with a knee injury according to this. Returned in July 2019.

I see where you are coming from with the problem at fullback but undoubtedly Gorrin should be in there defending the back three and allows them to be a tighter unit. If you look at the teams we've played against this year with a back 3/5 they've been able to hold their shape in defence quite well and playa block defence, now i don't think you need the best full/wing backs to do that. I think by playing them at wing backs it could turn our biggest negative into a positive, due to them not having to defend as much.We've looked weak through the fullback positions. Play with wing backs and it would be even worse. Clare struggles to get into position now, do it'll only get worse if he's given more freedom. Ruffels has struggled and Obita offers a different option at left back. But if he plays as a wingback then you risk Shodipo being cramped for space, and we potentially nullify our best attacking option at the moment.
Stick with 4 at the back, Forde or Long at right back, give Ruffels a break if Obita is fit enough to start, and bring Atkinson or Mous in only when fully fit.

1-8-1 formation is the way forward (or sideways) don’t have to worry about full backs being s**t if they’re on the bench, and this way at least Hanson gets a game so not wasting a wage

When you add Brannagan to the side no reason we shouldn’t be challenging for play offsEastwood

Seems like a decent side to me?
It’s not Jamie Hand is it?!?!?

Okay...shall we have a little bet???Well, that's relegation confirmed, should've been a centre back. Looks like Ruffels is going to be the fall guy.
