It's a solid gameplan and shape for for a 4-4-2. I've got no issues with it and as a player, if he produced that as his concept to me I'd have no issues with it.

There was something that immediately gave me cause for concern though. He's deploying a lot of the same methodology but within our 4-2-3-1. It highlighted why some of the things we're doing aren't working because he's using the same principles but for a different formation.
He can't play 4-4-2 with one striker though

I know. I think you might have misunderstood what I was saying.
Not really. But he could still be implementing the basic system with a view to us playing it once we have the personnel, may seem a bit daft but at least the rest of the side know what's happening. If we did get Mateta, then even if we assume Woody is out for the season, we could still manage to play 4-4-2 with 2 of Mateta, Taiwo, Jesus and Lucca, or maybe with one of either MGW or Ndoye as a kind of second striker player, but then none of them showed on Thurs they could step into that role either (maybe SD was also hoping this). Like the jigsaw won't make sense until all the pieces are at least out of the box

That might explain it but it's a very confusing message when your current team is set up in an entirely different way. It's almost set up to fail whilst using it in a different system.

Dyche tactical plan "okay team, you only need to do one thing, hoof it long whenever you get the ball , aim at the general direction to our new italian 7 foot tall striker luzzo, luzo, lezo whatever his name is , he'll head it , we score, we win."

Can we make up a chant for this guy? I'm thinking to the tune of Luka by Suzanne Vega...

His name is Lucca
He is 6ft 7 tall...

Suggestions for the rest.
I hope that any suggestions do not include the words “Derby” or “Leicester “ in them!

Probably depressingly accurate. Apart from the scoring and winning bit.

His name is Lucca
You know that he's bound to score
He's way better than you
His head is on the second floor

OK, Lorenzo. If you got to the CG and signed in time, today is your time. Now is the moment to seal your place in football history.

For Forest and St George. Seal that goal up with the Brentford dead! Thanks Shakespeare, I needed that.

Am I alone in thinking Lorenzo is unlikely to get a starting place, even if he has been registered in time?
I know it won't take long for him to understand "Cross it to the big lad", but he wont knoe the names of his team mates, so won't be able to thank them properly for the assists they give him.
Imagine the look on CHO's face if he has put in the cross and Lorenzo says "Thank you Morgan".
I mean even if he gets the full patronymic, he won't know that Morgan Gibbs-white should be thanked as "Morgs", or ~Anderson thanked as "Ando".
Vitally important for team inclusivity and bonding.

They'll be fine Captain, if he just sticks with "useless c*nt" most have been called it and will answer to it.
