Anybody else think changing the system to 5-3-2 would suit us. Would allow tav and Wallace to operate as wing backs with less defensive responsibilities. 3 centre half's would give cover to tav and Wallace and give us some added height at set pieces. The midfield three would remain the same. The front 3 would become a 2 but the width would be provided by the wing backs. Something like this maybe.

Tav Barton Wallace

Thinking along similar lines but using 3-4-3. As said giving the full backs freedom to attack.

Can't fault your idea there and thought the same myself but don't think warbs will change his style and formation unless next year for Europe.

I would have thought that having flexibility of line up and formation based on the team that we are playing and the venue would be the best option. Such a strategy would necessitate us having a larger squad with several more players joining the Club including two or three better quality, more experienced players.
I have a strong feeling that we will see a couple more Barton level acquisitions before the end of June.

Coops left foot, you got a crystal ball in your house?

I would play 4-4-2, bring Mckay back into left/ right midfield and whoever on the other side and let them run at the defences and have 2 holding midfielders, like Barton and Rossiter for instance and let them break up play.

Realistically Scotsman if we are not top 3 or winning Scottish cup next year given the players we have/ will acquire it will be a complete disaster. So no crystal ball but quietly confident we will be in Europe the season after.

Wilson0212. What about Ball (if we get him again) , Zelalem (same if) , Halliday, O'Halloran, Forrester, Windass and Miller? And what if Kranjcar signs? Also, I'd definitely get Hardie involved in the squad. Rossiter sounds exciting but is he good enough to throw into the first team straightaway? I'd say a first XI to start off might be: (4-3-3-
Foderingham; Tavernier, Crooks, Wilson, Wallace; Holt, Barton, Windass; O'Halloran, Waghorn, Mackay. With players like Forrester, Mill, Rossiter and Halliday to come on as subs. I've left out Ball and Zelalem as they might not come back.

Mark warburton WON'T change his 4-3-3 style as he has stipulated many times, if he was to slightly alter our system it would be a 4-2-3-1 I'd imagine with joey barton and jordan rossiter as our 2 sitting/ defensive midfielders.

3-4-3 has been played a few times this season.
