It gives you encouragement ahead of next season though, as I feel he'll be more willing to switch formations when things aren't going well.It’s ridiculous that he took so long to go with it really but he got there in the end. Onwards and upwards.
Everyone been saying it since the Villa game that we are much better suited to it. Stick with it til now to the end of the season and we’ll have a chance.
Paddy bringing the ball out along with clarkey really helped us push them backMuch much better defensively
Absolutely 100% agreeWith a full strength team I don’t think it is the best option, with who we have available it definitely is.
I'm not sure. Who are we still missing that would make a difference now? Hackney and Jones?With a full strength team I don’t think it is the best option, with who we have available it definitely is.
Overlapping centre backs? It'll never catch on.It depends who the 3 are though. Today we had both Clark and McNair pushing on into midfield with VdB being more disciplined. Having those two on their good foot really helped support the midfield when we attacked in the second half.
It'll hopefully be a feature of the 3 at the back that we'll work on as it stops it being negative, especially at home when the onus is on us to take the game to teams.
The more options we have, the better we'll do.
I still think we'll see a few high profile exits in the summer due to our financial issues so hopefully we are planning our recruitment accordingly and we'll get players in that'll be comfortable in either formation.
