Likewise 433 with the 3 midfielders all passing the ball with 3 forwards taking players on. Penn was better and so was the CM who played alongside Lee Fowler whose name escapes me, so is Turnbull and many others.

Those 3 at their best would do the job, but the trick is unearthing players like that before every one else including FL clubs want them.
I too was thinking about Penn when I posted and a younger Penn would be great but there arnt too many about and at his best he was in the FL.
Fowler was a great at this level, but everywhere he went he took baggage and the only reason he came here and was playing in the NL.
Turnbull is steady but no better than Wedge.
I agree 433 was better for us but when we did play it, fans were screaming out about no wingers and width. I was surprised Keates went 442 but maybe he knew the limitations of his squad and he thought that was best fit.
