I'm no football coach and don't watch this team train everyday, so this is just an idea and not a demand.
I discussed the possibility of a 3-5-2 in the pub the other week, which received some mixed responses. I only brought this up as there is pretty much no effective creativity in this team. How could we solves this?
Well for instance our best player, creative spark and goal threat is right/centre midfielder who has been papped out on the left wing. There is no doubt this has been a great success but when the ball is on the opposite wing I feel Cairney is wasted as he's pretty much out the game for spells.
I'd have him right behind the strikers, one-twos with the strikers, Albert Craig esque runs and in the centre of the pitch where he can be involved as much as possible. Would he continue with good form? Who knows this is just a guess more than anything and a bored fan in the stand wanting some service for the strikers and more goals.
Cairneys form was the basis to this idea but our full backs could more than step up to the wing back position, they have the pace and pushed up a little more up the park, maybe they'd be getting to the byline more.
Worries over this - Archies pace at the back and whether the players would adapt.
