But dropping two of our in form players negates your theory

What run ? We've just won 9 from 11 playing two different systems. Like I've said in other threads at this point of the season just play your players in form . 5 at the back means dropping EMC and Sakamoto which would be madness . For me just a bit better game management and stopping the stupid...

It's a minimal trade off

If the players in front of him underperform he has little impact on a game . His performance tonight reminded me of a lot of MacAllisters early games for us , he was looking for something ahead of him but there was little there . If I was to be hyper critical of him he did drop too deep and it...

Disagree

So we drop Sakamoto and EMC ?

He has been since Rudoni got injured

Sunderland haven't been on form for weeks , they are stumbling along rather than flying like they were before Xmas . Even Burnley seem to be hitting a sticky patch too . There are points to be gained where we least expect them and we will drop.some ,like tonight, when we least expect too

Norwich went 2 up tonight and lost 3-2

It really isnt

Two in midfield just won't work , it's madness to suggest it

I don't think Allen would've made a jot of difference tonight , both Torp and Eccles moved around a lot and showed up but the ball just didn't stick up top at any point tonight for any of the strikers

But he's played well in his last few appearances, looks more confident on the ball and links well with EMC . No need to panic or damn players based on past poor performances, just play players in form

Do we ? DaSilva looks in good form at the moment

Stop giving up silly free kicks first and foremost

Eccles ? His game for us up to this point has been as a 6 , someone who breaks up play and gives it simple to others . For me it's interesting that FL has a lot of faith in him and sees him in that more advanced role

That wasn't the point I was trying to make . It's rather why spend so much of the season getting him up to level required only to sign a journeyman ahead of him ?

Eccles isnt naturally a number 8/10 but he tries his heart out and tries to play on the front foot .

I understood Wright starting as it was reported that EMC had a knock but Bidwell coming on for DaSilva who had a very good game Saturday was bizarre . No need for a change of formation just play players in form . That's two substandard performances in a row from the usually reliable Bidwell

He needs those in front of him otherwise his game is nullified
