Firstly, Man U defend with 4-4-1-1 but attack with 4-2-3-1. As for Everton, they use that system to play counter attack football, as 4-4-2 is a solid defensive formation (as England showed) and is good for the counter attack. Just saying...

I said no such thing! I merely said the diamond suits us best I suppose any one can play in any formation, but they'll play better or worse in certain formations as they don't suit it. I'm stating, based on results, certain systems don't suit us and I am not saying the players cannot use these...

I stated 4-3-3 wouldn't suit us, and 4-3-1-2 is basically the diamond, as, assuming we play with* Jennings would naturally drop back so Thomas/Kilbane and Barton can advance with the ball, therefore, if you looked at the shape during the match, you will find that it looks like the diamond, with...

Kilbane is a good choice and it doesn't mean we'll play the diamond.

No, I'm not saying they can't play those formations, but what I am saying is that it doesn't suit the team as well as the diamond. Why? because our wingers are useless, infact, Baker is better in the AMC role and McSheff since coming back has done better 'in the hole' which in itself speaks...

It is the pretty much the diamond, but with the DM pushing up CM, there isn't that much a noteable difference to ditch the diamond and replacing it with 4-3-1-2, as 4-3-1-2, still has the narrow midifield just, the DM is moved up slightly. Clarke and Hussey would still be susceptible to...

What promises are you speaking of? No leaders in our team - maybe try Kilbane & Wood? At a push Murphy, Thomas. I think we had a better team than Donny, but not better than Barnsley nor Brizzle (who should've been down there) and certainly not Pompey, judging by that, by should've came...

Regardless of what you think, he's here to stay for the foreseeable future, so you may as well back him for 9 games before calling for his head. As a supporter, best thing you can do is GO to Ricoh on Tuesday and roar on the lads. PUSB!

I had a quick search on Nilsson and I came across C&W reaction to him being sacked and a lot of people agreed with the board, however, I took into account their views could be disproportionate of the actual feeling amongst fans, as I said, I weren't really around for Nilsson so I don't have a...

And when we tried 4-4-2 last season we somehow did worse what a great alternative? We played 4-2-3-1 in pre-season, we got spanked by ICT and Wrexham, and beat by Nuneaton and Ross County, condeding 9 goals! Another great alternative! :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm: OH! Then we spank...

But quite simply, 4-4-2 doesn't suit us, 4-3-3 wouldn't, 4-2-3-1 most certainly doesn't! What other alternatives. Fortunatley for AT (for us it is yet to be seen), he has been able to build a team that will suit the diamond, therefore we may aswell wait and see how everything pans out, until...

What suits our team then. :confused: Give the biggun, now come up with a useful answer. Say 4-4-2 and you are a fecking idiot. :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

With a quite clearly superior team, a team that was expected to be promoted. Whereas under Thorn we was expected to be relegated, oh and not to mention he had his players sold off and other managers before e.g. Coleman massively under achieved bearing in mind the money he had, wages they were on...

I have to admit, I forgot about Cody, knew I missed out someone importent :facepalm: BUT, to be behind only Cody, what a crime!? It is expected and for Fleck to have 2 is good.

I weren't really around for Nilsson but by the sounds of it, he didn't do particularly well either. :whistle: Adams should've had more time but, after the 8th place, we did rubbish the season after.

Chelsea, Man C all lost to lower opposition in pre-season, less than Wrexham + Nuneaton and they weren't calling for Mancini or RDM, why? because P-s is about fitness. Also, Nuneaton we played one 1st teamer, Deegan, and he's at Hibs...

Or not, because McSheffrey is poor, in fairness does have few good moments and Baker, I'd try him 'in the hole', in the absence of Fleck. The system is not broke, why fix it?

3, but 2 in open play meaning he's our top goalscorer in open play still. :whistle: Besides, a goal is a goal, he still had to send it home.

If that is the case, I do apologise. :)

Face it, we've been on the decline since we got relegated! All of our managers have had appaling records. Coleman, if you dig a little deeper, underachieved massively whereas Thorn, well, no one was surprised when the inevitable happend or are you incredibly short-sighted and naive? Calling me...
