It was a very familiar team of people didn't catch the game last night for any reason.

Keller wasn't goal.

It was John Egan came in for a prime, but it was Egan, Collins or Shea.

It was Coleman and then Scales came in, obviously, on the other side.

Malumbia Knight is the two in midfield, Ogbene and Azaz.

out wide, and then Parrott led the line.

And I suppose you would say as well, Gary, out of possession, that was very much a 5-4-1.

In possession, Azaz in particular would come in field, Ogbene to an extent, the full-backs would push on.

So in possession, they sort of went three at the back, the two boys sitting, and it was Coleman, Ogbene, Azaz, Scales, and Parrott.

So what do you want to say about last night?

So are you saying that like, in essence, whatever the formation, you know, if he's tied to five at the back, for instance, are you saying you don't have a problem with that as such?

Because I know Damien last week feels he needs to get away from five at the back ultimately in this medium term as we head towards Euro 2028.

Are you saying you don't have a problem as such with whatever formation he picks, but it's the implementation of it?

It needs to be front foot.

It needs to be going after guys.

Or do you want him to get away from five at the back full stop?

Dan I'll bring in in a sec please come in off the back of this fascinating to know what you think as well could I just push back Gary and shoot this point down but when you say like got his hamer a bit all over the place I'm sort of looking at him in recent times and thinking well I kind of see the bones of a team and a bones of consistency here like keeper boxed off the back three boxed off and you've got you know John Egan gets a bit of game time there's going to be injuries that's fine as well but that Collins O'Shea Jacob Bryan back three beautiful

Two good options at left back in Scales and Manning.

Coleman's future up in the air and there needs to be new blood there, but that's beyond any manager's control.

And then in terms of the formation, you've got Malumby, you've got Knight, you've got Josh Cullen to come back in.
