How he won't play two upfront so adding in cms and Hoskins won't make a difference agree with the first three tho

I think we have too many players of the same standard. I'd prefer to have less average performers replaced by one or two top playmakers, I for instance would have taken Yossi Benyoun instead of all our recent signings. But what do I know?

You can't argue with fact...

1) We have two strikers fit, and a young attacking midfielder who hasn't scored yet.

2) Key midfielders out injured, meaning we lack quality

3) as a result of 1+2, we have to play more midfielders to compensate

Personally, I think 4-4-2 is a fine formation, and the successful championship teams play it. However, it won't work for us. Our problem is converting chances. This has been evident all season. Playing another striker (Rod or Lingard) with Ulloa will take away from the midfield. That takes away a 3rd of our midfield, our weakest department. You could also argue this will reduce creativity and chances made, thus weakening our chances per game. Other teams get lucky as they covert few chances into goals (Ipswich last Saturday for example), we're just not quite there. If Ulloa put those headers away in recent weeks, we would be 6th... And possibly in the Semi Final of the FA cup. Fine margins, we're just the wrong side of it

When CMS and / or Hoskins return, I would revert to trying different formations. But I wouldn't be looking forward to seeing a midfield of Ince + Andrews / Stephens.

Are you now the clubs physio?


My mate was talking to him on Saturday in person for 30 mins and CMS said that himself.
He also let on a few other things but I won't post on here cause of idiot comments like yours
