Good Evening and welcome to …

… tonight’s edition of “Guess the Formation“. Our first question is: “given this set of players … Smith, Thompson, Cullip, Breckin (c), Curtis, Southall, Clingan, Perchio, Commons, Holt (Gr) and Tyson … what formation would you expect them to play?“ You’re right … it’s 4-3-3.
