I dont think theres much in it. Keogh and Cranie v Wood and Malaga. Norwood, Nimely, Thomas & McSheffery v Jennings, Barton, Fleck & Kilbane. Platt & McDonald v Elliot & McDonald. 1 all draw I reckon

He didn't do anything wrong but he's not exactly an impact player. I think 2 games in 3 days for an old boy may be asking a bit much. Is it enough though to have a key midfield position filled by someone who just does okay as he didn't do much at Yeovil either? I think his name and pedigree are...

Daggers we were very poor so I'm led to believe (Wasn't there). Yeovil (I was there) and we were pretty poor and couldn't keep hold of the ball, although we did carve out a few good chances. Last night first half was again very poor but much improved in the second half. I'm happy we haven't lost...

After a poor first half where non of the new guys stood out(Elliot at least put some effort in and jennings was okay) I thought second half Elliot continued to impress and Malaga did well as did Jennings. Barton was a bit anonymous for me and Kilbane didn't have one of his better days but two...

So let me get this straight. You think Cov cant play 4-3-3 because we dont have wingers but Barca can because they have "wide players". So if you have the ability to stand "out wide" and receive a pass and then play a pass to another team mate your fine, but Cov can't play 4-3-3 because you dont...

Its like groundhog day. Who are Barcas wingers Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Fabregas, Messi? They dont have wingers. You couldn't have picked a worse example. Please stop replying as then I'll have to reply and we could be here for weeks. Lets just agree that neither of us knows jack about...

People are already twitchy now and we've only played one game so it'll be a blood bath if we lose. We are home so I always feel confident we will win. I might not have the same opinion after 15 minutes, I just hope the team turn up tomorrow and also a few more fans.

Oh haven't you given up yet? You don't have to play wingers in a 4-3-3 or even a 4-4-2. In a 4-3-3 the full backs tend to take up the role of wingers, Gary Neville was banging on about it tonight on Sky and and discussing the role full backs replacing wingers in these types of formations. I'm...

Ha ha yes the 3 year plan that stayed at 3 years every year. Priceless.

Are you watching this game?

Sorry didn't notice you'd replied. I'm bored now so will only say this once more and then we can just beg to differ. As I stated above I dont have a problem with the diamond but its a mistake to play it all the time and not have any plan B during a game or from the start. Only using one...

Hey I see Everton are beating Man U with that out dated 4-4-2 Christ that Moyes guy must be an idiot. He probably wears unfashionable trainers as well;)

A draw with a good performance would be okay but we really need to get the wins at home as I think away we are still going to be more miss than hit. Interesting to see what changes are made with Fleck defo out now and the defence looking very vulnerable on Saturday I thought.

Yes but to follow your logic, on another thread you stated that 4-3-3 wouldn't work with the players we've got. So how close is 4-3-1-2 to 4-3-3? Using your thinking they are so close its laughable. Like I've said already I don't have an issue with the diamond if you've got the players to play...

Yes I agree the diamond is not the problem but the players playing it. Its too early to say no to the diamond with this group of players but in the two competitive games we have played badly and been exposed yet again out wide and although the results have been okay you know if we continue to...

Listen you're the one saying we can only play the diamond not me. I think a group of players of this ability should be able to and would be able to play any formation to suit the circumstances and opposition. To reduce our options to just the diamond is basically telling every other manager how...

He's like a politician. What he says is just about correct apart from dealing with most stuff that came in, as I think we were pretty poor when the ball was put into the box. What he doesn't say is that when you take out the 20 minutes of the game where we showed up, the other 70 minutes were...

Are you always this sharp? You think 4-3-1-2 is a diamond? Are you sponsored by diamond formations or something? When you write 4-1-2-1-2 down on a piece of paper what does it look like to you? I'll tell you as your clearly not paying attention. Its very narrow and match after match teams...

Christ are you telling me we have a squad of players who can only play 4-1-2-1-2? I've never read anything so ridiculous in all my life. These players will never play for any other club again then as hardly anyone plays the diamond in the English leagues. I suppose thats why Fleck couldn't...

So you were 9 years old and we played 4-2-4 FACT because Deloumeaux, Gudjonsson, Suffo, Macca and Joachim played together. Well unfortunately all of those players were never on the pitch at the same in any game home or away FACT. I remember seeing Ian Wallace score against West Ham in 78 in my...
