I actually don't think that's a bad idea at all, would give Sarr less pressure as well with more defenders around him, we also know he's a very decent passer of the ball.
We certainly can't play a 442 or 4231 with the players we have currently so why not

Bauer at right centre back with a player who has played most of his career at left wing, playing right wing back. Got disaster written all over it.
No harm in giving different things and systems a try but it still has to suit the personnel we have at the club. Too much in the past we have played square pegs in round holes and it just doesn't work. The other thing is that with playing the system of how England played this World Cup, everyone needs to be comfortable on the ball and need to be extremely fit otherwise you lose the midfield battle. The personnel at the club right now, we would get completely destroyed between the right and left centre backs and the wing backs.
KR tried to play his favorite system when he first arrived but we did not have the right players, so he went out and brought in many wingers, that was a real success.

That's a 3 at the back not Bauer right back
I know that, hence if you read my post it clearly say at right centre back. It also says about we would get destroyed between right and left centre backs and the wing backs with that specific personnel.
I think Marshall will be cover for Solly. I called it last season and he did well there vs QPR.
I called it as well.
I might have hinted at it. Or did I just think it?
He had a great game on the right wing under Bows and his tracking back was first class. Really impressed me with his defending. He then returned to the bench.
Page on one side and Marshall on the right would be good with three at the back IMO. Think he has the making of a good right back in his own right.

Good job it's a hypothetical post on a message board by someone with absolutely no sway over actual team selection and tactics then
Bauer plays right in a centre back pairing so not that bigger stretch for him to play right in a 3. He's not too bad on the ball and is a bit quicker than he;s given credit for imo. Think he'd do okay.
Marshall has played wide right plenty for us and showed his defensive responsibility in that Blackburn game. He's right footed too so would balance things out. Whether we can pass the ball well enough is a fair question, but it's league 1 so no one is exactly Pirlo.
It seems we're going to be stuck with a small squad so won't be able to vary the personnel so I think we maybe need to be a bit more creative with our tactics and style of play if we're going to find a a way to mix it up and keep the opposition guessing. This is just one idea.

Like it. Would also ike to see that LB has more to him than 442.
Need 3 ball playing centre halves for that formation. I'm afriad none of them fit that criteria
You're joking! Sarr would be a Prem CB if not for defensive inconsistencies, due partly to lack of games in the right position with a settled back four. Good on both feet, quick so ideal for middle of a three. Hoddle like passing. Bauer not too shabby either and has made some great forays forward. OK Pearce is row Z but brings other attributes to table. Marshall makes more tackles than some past full backs so I'd be happy as 1st choice RB/RWB tbh.

He's poor even at our level. Premier League? He couldn't even get in our team.

Exactly this, they may be fairly comfortable on the ball but they’re not what you would really call proper ball playing centre backs. They’re first ball defenders, not more athletic, comfortable second ball defenders who would fit better in a 3 at the back.
However, this is all hypothetical and we wouldn’t be playing a back 3 when they’re the only senior centre backs we have.

Agreed. Sarr would be a Prem CB if he wasn't so poor. NB so would I.
Is there a competition going for the most cretinous post?

If Sarr is potentially a Prem CB then i'm asking for a trial at Charlton

*the OS
However, my head tells me that he would replace Bauer if he left.
