The possesion game has served us well at home but our away record is poor since we reverted to 4 at the back and have dominated the ball.

Pep has said its not as effective any more and Man City need to change.

We need to do something different than we've done away in the last couple of months, that's for sure. But I'm starting to get 1997 vibes, and the task in hand Tuesday isn't as difficult as 97

Eaten it already? Good omen.

Can you link the ratings thread please?

Woke up this morning starting to feel a bit more optimistic about our chances It's the hope that kills you!

think it was triggered by appearances rather than offered

Tim Kruhl released by Luton. Could be a short term solution to the keeper issue until Dovin is back.

I assume because BTA looked better than Simms when he came on.

Since reverting to a back 4 we've played 6 away games and took 4 points. We're 20th in the last 6 away form table. We've heavily dominated possession in 4 of those games, had the majority of possession against Sheffield U and obviously had our backs to the wall v Luton due to the red card. It...

Ideally he prepares the team for both eventualities and we're able to switch accordingly.

Even if we dont get an early goal, if we can create a decent chance or 2 and start to sow some seeds of doubt

If we're looking to that game for inspiration let's hope we play the same formation

There's plenty of reasons why we can't! But that doesn't mean we won't. There were plenty of reasons why they shouldn't have won last night but they did, but I'm hoping against hope really.

What does it matter though? Everyone on here wants us to win, but if people think we can't go up there, a goal down and win our first away game for 2 months its hardly being unnecessarily pessimistic. But what posted on here won't make any difference it's all down to the manager and players now.

We dominated possession, we didn't dominate them. The game went to plan for them. We dominated possession against Derby, Plymouth and even to a lesser extent Sheff U yet we lost all 4 games.

It happens with all our strikers, should have played Bassette, he plays, should have played Simms, he plays, should have played BTA, It tells me none of them are good enough, (currently in Basettes case and Id still like to see if we could develop him).

I think they may very well try.

why can't they?

We haven't won since March 1st away from home. We had more joy in the preceeding couple of months playing 3 at back. Not really radical to suggest reverting back.
