4-4-2

[sdmartin1]

Is Hughton's preferred formation, with it looking more and more unlikely Bent will return we will surely be targeting 1/2 more strikers at least especially if O'Grady is off as well...

 

[Rookie]

Is it?

 

[Withdean11]

With CMS, Colunga and Baldock, signing another 1/2 striker will give us a total of 2. I think we need at least 1.5 more.

 

[grummitts gloves]

Please let this be so!!

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Whether my favourite 3-2-3-2 or the unconventional 4-1-1-3-1 the key is that our players perform as a unit with total commitment for the new manager, supply ammo for the lads up top and we'll improve. Keep it tight, none in our onion bag.

 

[London Irish]

Have to be honest I thought Hughton preferred one up front?

 

[sebtucknott]

442 is for Sunday league not a team at the bottom of the championship, particularly one with very little strikers.

4-2-3-1 is where it's at imo

 

[Dorset Seagull]

4-2-3-1 according to the website I looked at

 

[rouseytastic]

Was just on talksport and they said the same that 442 is how he sets the team out. Might finally suit cms

 

[sdmartin1]

Only going by what he said on Talksport in an interview, perhaps he will reevaluate with us but I would not be suprised to see us in the market for a striker.

[Southwest Seagull]

I always thought he was a fan of the one up front.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

I saw his Newcastle batter Cardiff 5-1 on a chilly Friday night a few years ago, and he definitely favoured 4-4-2 that night. Andy Carroll partnered by Leon Best, who both scored.

4-4-2 Is Hughton's preferred formation

I don't think it is.

Looking here, it says it's 4-2-3-1:

Same here:

Here, he changed to 4-4-2 - a change from the norm:

I'm pretty sure he's happy to try either 1 or 2 up front, depending on which players he has available (whole team, not just the strikers) and the opposition.

Well he said about 15 minutes ago on Talksport that he prefers 4-4-2 unless my ears were deceiving me.

lol, fair enough.

He's allowed to change what he likes for a start, as he's certainly not always played with 2 up front.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Does this mean there is a plan B?

 

[Triggaaar]

Does this mean there is a plan B?

You know, I think there is.

 

[BBassic]

A plan B? A system that might suit a striker we signed years ago?

It can't be.

 

[mikevapour]

We need Chris Wood, played at Birmingham for Hughton I think?
