I was wondering what fellow bears thought would be our best formation? I personally don't like 433 or 451 whatever you want to call it. I'm just not a fan of wingers. I personally would play a 442 diamond with Dorrans, Pena, jack and kranjcar with Herrera and Morelos up front. I'm a big fan of the big striker smaller striker combo and I think it would work well with the videos I've seen of those two. Thoughts?

Tav? He shouldn't be near the 1st team. He's woeful

We need two new fullbacks, Pena could replace Krancjar and Rossiter would play alongside Jack with Dorrans on the wing.

I agree with that formation against every team in the league apart from Celtic. Their full backs and wingers bomb forward meaning it'd be two against one on Tav and Wallace which is asking for trouble. When Murty set the team up it was a simple 442 with the full backs not being as adventurous and it worked well against them.

I hate all this "we need a new left back" rubbish. Beerman will do a job. How are we going to develop young boys if they don't play? We u honestly rather Wallace? The guy is a joke.

Mprent111. I pesonally like a 4-4-2 BUT I don't think this formation works against the likes of the tic. i'm sure that's how we lined up on the last 2 occasions. The tic play with 1 up and fill the Mid yeah and I think most will do the exact same especially against us. don't get me wrong I as with most would like to see Herrera AND Morelos or Miller but I think we need to have 5 in Midfield or the tic will over run us. You can bet Hibs will play that way against us, so if 4-4-2 isn't going to happen then a 4-1-4-1 is what I'd like to see on the pitch NOT a 4-1-3-2. As long as we have 1 or 2 Central Attacking Midfielders that are top at supporting the Striker and know how to get their shots on target then all we need, and have is someone like Jack to sit in front of back 4 and be able to step up into midfield when we're pressing. In fact Jack is going to be a huge Player for us this Season as we now have someone that will do the job with covering when the Wing Back pushes up!
I think having 2 sitting Defensive Mids is a tad OTT especially for SPFL even the tic. We should start 4-1-4-1 then think about making changes to the system depending on how the games going!
