Colours Nailed and all that

Middlesbrough usually play a 4 - 3 - 3 have seen them 4 - 2 - 2 - 2
Looks as if Hellberg can be flexible .
When they lost to Coventry they played
4- 4 - 2 .

Will be interesting to see if they play this 3-5-2 till the end of the season. They looked good last night.

I see boro switched to a 3-5-2 last night. I will keep banging this drum but if we want to be a successful team we have to think about transitioning to a 3-4-3 in the summer.

I think if we did go this route then it would probably be something like

Vigs

Ward
Cabango
Burgess

Key
Galbraith
Stamenic
Galbraith

Walta
Yalcouye/Widell

Vipotnik

Let's be fair, at this stage it wouldn't do much harm trying it away from home.
Although Matos has hardly if not ever played without a back 4.

Key would certainly have his work cut out

Key is obviously important for unlocking defences in your system.

He does when doing 1 job so 2 jobs would be a tough ask for sure.

That back 3 just worries the life out of me that's probably part of the reason why I wouldnt mind waiting untill the summer to try it.

Third time lucky maybe?

Realistically all we could go with if we went 3 at the back......Santos being the only other option in there

I think it would be ok personally. Would we consider this formation given that we have been persistent with wingers aswell as signing a few since the summer?

Oh no I definitely see us still persisting with this 4-3-3 next season.

It's just a personal hunch that I feel like the winger position will slowly be phased out outside of the elite clubs so I'm just hoping we jump on the train early. Also watching these wingers every week as made me want to change even more.

Not one has really impressed or hit numbers to impress unfortunately.
Makes the calls to go 3 at the back with wing backs all the more understandable.
