More like Duffy, Dunk and BFG. TBH, wonder whether Duffy will be quite as effective in Prem where height is less of a factor than mobility.

Something I wouldn't have minded seeing at a few away games this season

Examples? W11 D5 L5 doesn't sound too bad a return......
Sigurdsson is being linked with a £30 million move to Everton with £150k a week wages today.. feel that may be a bit beyond our means.

There are times, I think you'll agree, when teams have doubled-up on Knocky. With this in mind and accepting that our full backs (especially Bruno) can bang forward we may have got some joy using this system. It would also cover a resting of players (if you see what I mean) It's just something I've mulled over a few times (normally after an under-par performance -hindsight eh?) Hard to argue with our away stats mind

Have to say that is one aspect of Skalak's game which puts him above Murphy...

I'm glad someone else agrees with me. Will Hughes is something of a fair weather player, fine if given the time and space, but doesn't like it if the game becomes physical.
Even Derby don't start him in every game.

I don't know, but it's sure going to be fun finding out!
Can't be true, It was Pulse (Burgess Hill) nightclubs last ever night and I was throwing some big shapes with Chrissy boy until 3am! He said we are After Ake, he burped then said Fenwa! Honest!!!

Three at the back seems a very probable approach and I see we are rumoured to be competing for Ryan Shawcross in today's media.

Most people thought the same about Ashley Barnes....
Have you seen some of the players at Bournemouth and Burnley? Do you really think all of them are a massive cut above Baldock?

More important than formation has been whether DS plays. People do not realise how important he is to us. In 6 of the 10 away games we failed to win (Derby, Reading, Newcastle, Preston, Huddersfield, Brentford) DS did not start. He was imperious at Wolves.
Blow formations,. Give me DS and I am happy.

I would have thought that if we sacrifice a player to give us 5 in the midfield it will be a striker that goes leaving us with two wingers, two centre mids and a deep lying 'Kante' type player to break up attacks and sit in front of the back four.

Your right, he does the job most people don't notice in the engine room of midfield. Keeps the Albion ticking over, and the ball moving. A box to box player in the same mould as Dean Hammond a few years ago. Vital in my opinion. Hope he agrees a new contract.

I've had the misfortune to see Bournemouth around ten times this season and they've played a back four every time. But on the subject of the village team, I looked at them the other day and asked myself which of their players were any better than ours. And I came to the conclusion that I'd have Arter, King and Wilson when fit but none of the others.
