Based on pre-season game it appears that Peps preferred system is 3-4-1-2. Do we have the players for system? IMO no......

I genuinely think any formation that is set as 3-4-anything is Championship suicide.

I did mean for us, so meant with the squad we have. Not even sure 3/4 players would change my opinion on that either.

So it's not Championship suicide tbf. Obviously your formation should suit your playing options but it's been proved to be capable of being very successful. To write it off is daft (I know you didn't btw)

Not sure about that. We're going to struggle as it stands whatever the formation. I actually think that Colin and Pedersen are very decent choices for wing backs. I do think if we do go with that 3 at the back it should be a 352 to suit Juke

I'm not against 3 at the back. But our most recent flirtation with it under Clark gives me nightmares.
It's like my dad always said: eventually, everybody gets shot.
