Clearly playing for the draw, no urgency!
Should win this be interesting to see the excuses if we don t. No walkover though, 1-0
Out of interest those that wanted Cody on, who would you have taken off?
Mcsheffrey or Clarke,we won the game but why didn't AT bring McDonald on and play with 3 strikers we needed 3 points and got them in the end but we could easily have drawn this game as we didn't really create many good chances.
Unbelieavble not bringing Cody on. We should have thrown the kitchen sink at Barnsley. Why does it sound like we were playing for the draw like they were?!
The problem with 4-3-3/4-5-1 is Platt is most likely to be the central striker which then forces Nimely out wide where he is less effective like the Ipswich at home game where he played on the wing and was probably his worst performance for us that game.Not sure this 442 is particularly working, mind: not against teams that play 1 up, whether it be the usual 451/433 style or the deeper backs-to-the wall 9-1 Barnsley version. At least the 433 with Sheff pushed on as the 3rd forward at times gives us a chance to compete in numbers centrally, and I think offers a far greater goal threat.
I'm not liking McSheffrey as a winger, and Bakers form today suggests that if we do go with the same formation, Bell must start RM.
Bit of credit to Bell: his injuries this season have been as legendarily sick-note as ever, but the last few games he's been involved in he's been superb. Both today and against 'Boro. he has come on and made a big difference 2nd half.
