I'll go 1-1

No trains running due to engineering works

We didn’t play with fullbacks against Sheff U though, we played 3-5-2, so that’s probably not the “usual” answer for PP

 

You're right, they were wingbacks on that day.

 

Point is still valid though, our fullbacks when we do play four across the back have been tending to head forwards regularly.

Time for a PP moan.

 

PP decides on 442, with a 'target man' and a 'poacher'. Who I would assume would thrive off crosses, in a standard 442 with two wingers.

 

PP decides on a left footer on the right and a right footer on the left.

 

What the actual fuck is that about?

 

Ameobi likes to play on the right. Its where he wants to play.

 

Noone likes to do the opposite. 

 

I do agree that at times PP should try switching players over because it can become predictable. 

I’ve really liked the look of No one when we’ve seen him in patches - direct, aggressive and a pace that really helps in this league

 

Reckon there’s any scope for him being anything other ham a back up?

I agree and I'd play him on the left, where Armstrong & Buckley have both failed to shine

This. Deserves a few games and see how he does.

Noone looks like a grafter too, i'd certainly start him on Saturday on the left

The annoying thing about the game at the weekend now the dust has settled is that Huddersfield were there for the taking and the subsequent draw of Birmingham at home could have seen us in Round 5.

never been a fan of same league draws, I see your point but Birmingham would have replay all over

Spot on

Ameobi best skill is cutting in from the right and twatting the ball proper hard with his left peg.

And to be fair hes not too bad at getting the ball and running out wide with it before cutting in and getting a ball in

 

We've not had a proper decent winger since David Lee v Liverpool

Do many teams play with a winger in the traditional sense these days though? It’s all about wide midfielders playing on the wrong side and underlapping/overlapping full backs, isn’t it? They’ll be back in fashion soon enough though, I’m sure.

its happened all the games ameobi has started, hasnt it

 

in fact, im sure hes played on the right when ive seen him play against us

Yes, but when we play 3 in attack.

City have a pretty decent left footer on the left in Sane.

Back in my day, your back 4 stayed there, 2 wingers a hard man and a ball player in midfield, a big man and a nippy little tartliner up top. I wonder if them days will ever come back. Jumpers for goal posts etc

aye how times changed

 

Just look at the Bruce teams and that one of colin Todd’s in 97 sums up your words

Tartliner?

 

Is that an east Lancashire term?

 

Was always a titiliner here.

Yup. Titliner for me.

Centre backs had to be called Tony and Gary

I don't see any madness in it at all...

Folk keep missing those crackers of yours P.
