Quick question, are we all in agreement that our formation is 3331.
As that is what I believe it to be.
Going on then to discuss, it could be called a fluid 3331, as the formation allows us to defend with six players and attack with six players.
It appears in the way that it operates to give you an extra player on the pitch.

Agree its 3-3-3-1. Has worked well for us defensively but i think we need to be more direct when turning defense into attack, which we were against QPR. No need to take 30 passes to get into their box when you can do it in 5. Think Roberts will make the difference there and KP if he can get forward more. Think Pablo and Roberts will be a good pairing. Still think more use should be made of fringe players as it is a long hard season and winter pitches will take their toll on players. We have a good bench just think we need to make more use of it.

Exactly what I said to George, he was saying about 2 up top, our formation allows us to get more players forward and back.
Its the speed we get the ball and players up top that is more important.
Along with running at defences and getting in behind, chances for Bamford coming on to the ball this way might give better results.

1970 Not just speed but positioning. All I know is Tyler the Creator and him a bit further up the pitch is going to help a lot. I simply want more directness in our home play.
