It helps that their physically suited to epl not like we were

Phillipe Clement was available

Thats what I meant, with the 4 it allows the extra body in midfield, think it was Mainoo. So the overall formation looked so much more balanced , we suffer from getting overrun in midfield , if we sat a 2 of Jander/Downes/Charles/Bragg in front of a 4 of Jelert/THB/Quarshie/? Then play Leo/Stewart or AA/ Fellows .... why wouldn't that work

It wasn't even the 4atb its the fact they closed off the centre of the pitch with their extra midfielder, sat in, let city try and break them down and hit them on counter with their pace, they did it extremely well and it could've been 4 or 5. We have the players to play that bar questions over left back so there isn't a valid reason why we couldn't play that

No no no its nothing to do with formations and managers as some would believe on here

Nothing to do with the fact he scored 4/5 in the cup against a 3rd division French side just before we bought him

People do forget we were poor under RK at a point he was going out the door at Christmas time until results massively improved

It wont be

Having a beer with Jan Koller

Both really good articles and a lot rings true

I remember a Monday morning in the sun football results pullout, can't remember who we played but it said ... v some south Coast team lol

There is a post/qoute somewhere of RAs time at Mityjland saying something like i tell the coaches to believe in the process it will come good or something like that

What a goal

Formations dont matter, have you not realised that yet

A bit like Amorim, 1st time in 18mths played a 4231 against Newcastle, got the 3 points, then prompty changed back to 3/5 the following game and were awful and held 1v1 by Wolves as they didnt control the midfield
