I agree with the majority of your point but you're wrong on 4-4-2. A lot of continental teams now play the system, it's the 2nd most popular formation for champions league finalists (after4-3-3) for the last few years. Our problem is that we're so far behind we've only just moved away from it now it's back in. We'll probably work it out and get back to 4-4-2 when the Spanish have moved to a false 4 or something mental.How many goals have our central defenders scored from set pieces?
How many goals have midfielders scored from free kicks?
Fans cry out for a big man up front, yet Denis Law and David Speedie both around 5' 9" scored most their goals with their heads. As well as leading the attacking line.
One of the reasons England aren't really successful at the top Internationally is because the fans are stuck in a 4-4-2 time warp.
Perhaps Beavon brings a lot to the dressing room and on the pitch. He has more experience of promotion and what it takes than anybody in our squad.
The team is still gelling and developing. Most fans would change it from week to week based on a players last 5 minutes and a computer game data base.

It isn't the system we play, we don't have players that have the all round game to adapt to different ways of playing. The PL and England side have adopted a possession based game, but ignore that it takes one or two great passers to make it work, not Jordan Henderson or Eric Dier plodding around midfield. English teams were doing excellently in Europe playing the high tempo game we've always played, since we've adopted to trendy methods from elsewhere it's all gone wrong. Square pegs and round holes.

The main problem with English football is that English players don't get enough game time. We are the best in the world at virtually all age groups up to and including U21's and then it goes pop in a big way. Not sure where I read about game time for homegrown players(probably on here somewhere) but we are miles behind other countries when it came to playing our own players domestically in the top flight. Whilst all of the money is spunked into the premier league and clubs like Chelsea are allowed to ruin 20/30 young players careers at a time nothing will change. The systems aren't the problem the players in the systems are.
The City have their own problems which is down to the level we are at and the standard of players we can attract. Hopefully we're on the up and over time the standard of player will improve.

Just another month at the moment.I take it until end of season.
I thought he’d have a part to play this season but Robins obviously doesn’t rate him. I’m assuming his contract runs out at the end of this season?
It does
he has only scored one goal for Solihull in 8 games.

Exactly can't see him come back in Feb and fire us to promotionWould guess nobody else would have taken him, you would think they would just loan him until the end of the season.

If we sent Ponticelli out on loan to Solihull or Tamworth who want him a league lower and he had the same return would we still have the same judgement?.
Thomas career record is 4 goals in 53 apperances
Jordans is 3 goals in 12 games
I know who I would back
