Does 4-4-2 now become 4-5-1 ???

[West Mids QPR]

Delighted with our transfer business (would have still lved a striker)

How do we now accomodate these players ?

Barton, Krank, SWP, Hoilett, Henry, O'Neil, Carroll, Philips, Faurlin, etc

Does it mean just 1 up front ?

[W12_Ranger]

4-3-3 and squad rotation

[theblackmafia.]

Barton, Hoilett and Phillips are surely certain starters and more than likey Nico and Tom, so unless Barton is off and we don't know yet it could well be a 4-5-1

[zeberdee]

might still be players to come loans, but either way need to be able to play different ways for different opponents. and periods of the game, switching between formations, 442/451/433 more options to do that now. in the end tho it is about winning and entertaining however you get there

With a 40-odd game season and half the squad around 30 or over I think we will need to mix it up a bit. That's where Harry will really earn his money IMO.

[West Mids QPR]

Harry does historically like his 4-4-2 with wingers doesn't he ?

Maybe Henry sitting in front of the back 4...

[stainrodisalegend]

one up front and no room for henry now.

time to dust down that song about the best midfield in the world...

[maverick69]

TBH. With that team, in any combo, we should spank everyone for fun. Defo high-quality strength in depth apart from perhaps up front...... if you were being picky.

But of course..... it's probably never gonna be that simple with the Rangers.........

4-4-2 for me still, it just adds competition for places and makes our midfield area strong for suspensions/injuries.

I'd guess our midfield when fully fit would be Phillips, Carroll, Barton and Hoilett.

Niko can play anywhere in midfield or in the number 10 position so he's a fantastic addition.

It's a long old season and players like Barton, O'Neil, Henry, Faurlin are going to pick up suspensions and injuries, we need strength in depth and I believe we have got that now for the midfield.

The loan window opens up next Monday and I fully expect us to sign a striker and centre half on 3 month loans.

You can have 2 season long loans domestically (Carroll and Benny).

You can have 5 loan players in a match day squad so we still have room for two more to make our squad really strong.

Philips and Hoilet are attacking wide players and those 2 with Austin up top carry a real threat
Krank and Carroll will create chance and Joey can sit behind
Away form home, Henry and O'Neill will probably come in to give us steel
