This is what is so frustrating, the formation you suggest should have been tried last week at Pompey. Albeit with a slight change to personnel due to suspension, injury etc. It was a "free hit" , it would have been something different and may have been a success. I know it didn't work for JED but 4-4-2 isn't working for us now!!!
One or two twitter rumours suggest qpr will recall ingram in jan. That would add to our sizeable list of problems
