Larry to stick with formation
Blackpool, 17:06, August 22, 2008 ,
Blackpool boss Simon Grayson has hinted he will stick with the 4-5-1 formation against Sheffield United this weekend.
The Seasiders have gone with the lone striker option in their opening two games of the season and Grayson says he could stick with it for the visit of the Blades to Bloomfield Road.
"It's definitely a possibility because it isn't a negative system," Grayson told the Blackpool Gazette. "It's really a 4-3-3 that turns into 4-5-1 only when we're defending.
"The widemen Gary Taylor-Fletcher and Adam Hammill are attacking players. They are a centre-forward and an out-and-out winger who are putting shifts in defensively but also give us that threat going forward."
