oh dear

hoof to Arma ?

might not work that Tony.

With Dack flicking on and knocking them down to him it seems like a water tight plan.

Warming up as a four...

[philipl]

In the context of this season, this is close to a must win game for keeping top 6 aspirations feasible.

[Husky]

I think Tinkerman might get away with a hoofballing draw more deserving of a swirling wet November night.

1-1

[Tugay-is-God]

Really is the type of game we need to be winning today

Who as full backs: Tosin and Cunningham?

[Tugay-is-God]

Three at the back by the looks of things

[Tom]

Benno stopped a clear goal then 

Tosin wants to play about at the back with it, obviously influenced by City’s ways 

[Husky]

Wing backs, so hopefully not as much hoofballing.

10 minutes in and no one's paying much attention. 

Mediocre shit football. 

[Guest]

This is fucking awful. 

[Ossydave]

In fairness I'm more comfortable with Bennett as a wing back than full back, he could do a decent job there. Not sure about the rest of the team though the chopping and changing is getting a bit silly now, you piss about in pre season doing things like this.

Left CM.

Ive watched us pretty much game for game under TM, and we’ve played plenty of phases with 3 centre backs.

Havent started many games like this mind. I think (as I said) we will change between that 532, and 4321 (normal formation) that’s basically Stuart’s 442 with the wingers pushed on and dack behind AA

Phases, come on mate, that's not a formation you use, that's a reactionary change. The odd "phase" here and there is hardly a tried and trusted formation. 

As for Downing, that could be a fair whack of running about for him, and with Buckley as well in there, that's a lot of dirty work left to do too. Either that or Johnson is a very busy boy. 

It may well be a surprising masterstroke but I don't think anyone can say it is not unusual for us or risky.

What's the crowd like?

What a strike

[perthblue02]

What a strike from Williams 1-0

[philipl]

Wow just wow- thought we had forgotten how to smash those in.

 

[Husky]

SHOT! A Palace at Ewood Park moment back sometime wayback when in the Prem Days.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Good strike that.  

Thought the pitch had been re-done?  It looks crap.  

[DE.]

Maybe Williams is our answer to DG? Top goalscorer now isn't he?

[moerpho]

Walton sems up for it and a wonderstrike from Williams do that's something..... 

Got a feeling we're going to have to score a couple more to win this. 

[philipl]

This formation isn't working effectively. Rovers not shutting Millwall down properly.

[Tom]

Stunning goal aside we’ve been second best

Need to start offering something up front and Buckley looking weak

Yep Williams top goalscorer now......maybe he should play as a centre-back & "false striker".After all Mowbrays tinkered with everything else.  

 

It did wonders in the early 1960s converting Fred Pickering from defender to centre-forward!
