Confirmation on CAFC twitter, which seems to suggest a 3-5-2 formation based on the use of semi-colons:

Ipswich bench looks strong. Like the look of our midfield though.

We got a young bench but come on................go for it you Reds!

Good evening from Ipswich. Interesting line up. No predictions from me

Agree - that looks like a 3-5-2 starting line up.
I don't see Onyewu as a conventional LB, as he doesn't really have the pace for the position.

Surprised that BP seems to want to start with 3-5-2 ....... seems to go against his typical start cautiously tactics.

It can be seen as a back 5 remember

Dont think I'd want to put Cousins as Left-Back... I know he started out as a Defender but...

Expect it will look more like 5-3-2

will be interesting having cousins as a lwb, considering he started out as a right back

i like the look of that tbh, gudmundsson behind the strikers could be very dangerous

So three at the back by the looks of things.

Not averse to that given our issues with the left-back position but does make the decision to offload Morrison look even more dubious as he would slot nicely into the left-hand side of a back three

Good stuff

Looks like 4-4-2 to me with Onyewu at left back. If it's 3-5-2 u can see us getting ripped to shreds.

Just got home.
is anybody going to update on here from 'our' perspective?
If somebody wants to do that I will update from the Ipswich perspective, if not I will work from our perspective.
Apologies in advance for my slowness and typos.
respect to the travelling Addicks, especially at those Ipswich prices!

Henry Irving

Let's see how the three at the back works against a decent side as opposed to a Cardiff team happy to sit on a lead.

7 goal thriller.

Are you a time-traveller and more importantly, did we win?
