This is what seems to have worked so far. At least it is a plan.
1. Start with Mackie and Washington. No fan of either, but it is our most effective option if we want to play the high press. They run their bollox off. This gives our midfield some time and defensive help. We look tight, don't concede, and maybe even snatch one.
2. Second half: replace Mackie, he has done his job, bring on Sylla, a greater attacking threat as he is not bad in the six yard box. Half an hour to 20 minutes left, bring on Smith for Washington for the panic he can cause.
Simple!

Yes I can see that. Hopefully Mackie will get reenergised by his ban and be raring to go. Needs to stop jumping in though as his card was just waiting to happen.
As an alternative though, start with Sylla and Mackie and then bring on Washington at ht. and Smith for the last 30.

I'm a bit lost with these suggestions. Are you saying that we only have one substitute for each game owing to our forward situation? In each of the suggestions we sub both forwards. That limits our tactics somewhat, does it not?

You're the type of bloke who uses his rear view mirror, ain't ya?
I'd go with an attacking 3-5-2, especially at home. I'd play Smith AND Sylla as the front two and I'd have two out and out wide men to pepper the centre with cross after cross after cross. Then I'd have three centre backs with the wingers coming back to defend when necessary. The midfield three picks themselves. Why not? I don't think we've tried this yet.

that would leave you with 3 centrally deployed midfielders, 1 highly immobile striker in smith and 1 striker w poor work rate in sylla. Out of possession, wed be a nightmare and Luongo scowen and Freeman would expend all their energy trying to win the ball back

I'd quite like to see the formation Ollie used when he got us up before. Kind of 4-2-4 with, luongo and scowen holding and two wide attackers freeman and pavel most likely, with two up front including at least one of smith/sylla. Get pavel playing how/where he should be playing. He seems one of our most potent weapons to me and we're not using him well at all.
Or buy/otherwise obtain a decent striker somehow from somewhere even if we can't.

I feel like we really need to get our wingers on the pitch - when you think back to last season against Reading & Brum away, our main tactic was Pav bombing down the wing crossing it in for a striker.
Would like to see a 4231 - Scowen/Luongo in the 2, Osayi-Samuel Freeman and Pav as part of a 3, then Sylla up top. Smith/Washington on as an impact sub.
I'd like to see 4-3-3 / 4-5-1 or 4-2-3-1, maybe alternate depending upon the opposition. I think if you look at the squad & out of contract players in the summer this could be the best option to utilise the squad too.
That leaves Perch, Caulker, Robinson, Petrasso, Borysiuk, JET, Mackie, Washington, Grego-Cox & Ngbakoto all available to leave & massively reducing the wage bill. We'd also have little need to bring players in. Obviously the above is with next season in mind.
