Dougie has indicated in the past his preferred formation is 4231, which is popular at the moment among sides such as Chelsea, Man Utd et al. Disrupted this season due to the injury/suspension position hence the diamond. 4231 is the current flavour of the month in football circles.
Fans will remember past changes in fashion such as Alf Ramsay's 433 in the sixties and the 442 slavishly employed by the successful Liverpool sides of the seventies .
Yes we could have included youngsters to maintain the 4231 against QPR but we opted for experience in a match I consider we were unlucky not to salvage a point from.
BSA adopted for a time 433 (when we had the ball) flexing to 451 (when we didn't have the ball).
I suspect we will continue as far as possible to play 4231 as this is the favoured line by Dougie and Lenny Lawrence. We all live in hope results will pick up!
