Nobody (as far as I know) suggested they played 442. I did cite them as examples of good organisation, however (pretty or not).

So it's not about 442 or otherwise then? - it's just a simple thing like good organisation, which works well outside the top flight. But not in the top flight? Hmm. Interesting theory; Pulis, Allardyce and Pardew, for example, would appear to be currently proving this to be not the case. And...

Sorry, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt. I didn't for one second assume that you thought there were no decent managers or half decent players (outside of our's, of course) in the Championship. And yes, of course, it might prevail in the second tier. Remind me again - which tier are we...

Absolutely. As decent managers with half decent players at clubs such as Hull, Burnley, Ipswich and Birmingham have so clearly demonstrated this season, as well as some lesser lights at the lower end of the table..............

Quite a few haven't! Although there are one or two still in denial about being embarrassed! Good thread to bounce occasionally - thoroughly enjoyable!

The point is, he didn't, thus not conforming to your desired style. He did better than that. However, if you think that a thirty odd yard precision pass leading to a goal isn't style enough, that's your prerogative.

Perhaps because it is just wrong. The precision passes that Bong pinged up to KLL (for the first goal) and Baldock (which almost resulted in another one) were excellent. If he can go on doing that all season, I'll be well pleased. Of course, he COULD have side-footed the ball to Hunemeier or...

Going by last season, it wouldn't be a bad start if every one of the players in OUR team knew that!

Lot of b0110cks on here about 442 being prehistoric, boring, primitive, whatever. Possibly some idiot might even have managed to get the derogatory term 'hoofball' in somewhere, although I haven't actually seen it! There's no reason why you can't play modern progressive possession football -...
