Quite so.
On topic.
Tactics. 4.2.3.1 seems to be the fashion. Southgate deploying basically the same thing to compensate for England's lack of 'Italian Love' on the ball.
Similarly, Hughton deploys it in the absence of quality recruitment. He may well have used it at Brighton and Newcastle where both teams scored loads of goals.
My ultimate view is one of deference to Brian Clough. 'A lot of nonsense is talked about formations. Players win you games.'
And Forest don't have enough quality players. As the last two results proved.
It really is quite that simple.
