I don't think 4-2-3-1 is necessarily negative

But the way we are playing it at the moment is. Whether that's down to Hoots instructions or the players just dropping deeper as s result of a lack of confidence I don't know but we are playing so deep and our wingers are basically playing like full backs.

I trying not to be knee-jerk. I actually feel we have not been positive enough throughout the season and not just during the recent bad run. Reading away, west ham, QPR and Newcastle at home and west brom away are all games where I think we could have got mire pints had we taken a bit of a chance and gone for the win. Obviously if could be argued that we might have got caught on the break and lost but none of those teams were really looking that threatening and I just feel Hoot lacks confidence in the team at times.

Even if we lose we could really do with a barn storming performance against Spurs just to remind us all that we can be an attacking force.
