we have got quite a few wins with 4-4-2 (or a variant of) this season

Away at Southampton we lined up 4-1-4-1 and got smashed. Do we just lack the right attributes for away games, we are unable to counter attack effectively for example.

"Hughton's half time subs were defensive". Sorry, no they weren't (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Mar 29, 23:26:25
- Hughton didn't change the formation... (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 29, 23:29:42
  - I know - that's why I said he partly changed it. Frankly, I think there is no case at all (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Mar 29, 23:31:38
    - Did you watch it? (NCFC) - Huge Small, Mar 29, 23:49:13
      - ? (n/m) (NCFC) - Huge Small, Mar 30, 00:01:15
    - They were defensive (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 29, 23:41:48
      - So it wasn't a 4-4-2 then? (n/m) (NCFC) - Huge Small, Mar 29, 23:51:09
      - I agree with your suggestions 100% - but the mindset behind his changes wasn't defensive (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Mar 29, 23:44:56
        
        The problem is, we fail to keep possession (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 29, 23:48:00
        
        I think we could have played five in central midfield (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 29, 23:49:57
        
        yes true... but BJ giving the ball away half the time didn't help. (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 29, 23:52:29
      - didn't RvW set up our best chance of the game just after half time? (n/m) (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 29, 23:43:16
        
        yep, a very poor return given the amount of game time he was given (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 29, 23:44:48
        
        Just give it a rest. He is sh*t. (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 29, 23:44:08
        
        yep, why let facts get in the way? (n/m) (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 29, 23:46:49
        
        he's been bloody awful... I mean, I hope he comes good, but lets not cloud reality (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 29, 23:49:27
        
        of course he has been poor in general, but why pick on him today? (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 29, 23:50:58
        
        he completely failed to get involved, him and Elmander don't even link up (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 29, 23:54:07
    - we have got quite a few wins with 4-4-2 (or a variant of) this season (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 29, 23:35:18
      - Depends on the opponents too though. Saints and Swansea are good, bright passing sides (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Mar 29, 23:38:04
    - problem is that with Fer out (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 29, 23:32:59
      - Heh. Three's still better than two, even with Bradders around. I agree that we're missing (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Mar 29, 23:34:13
        
        we didn't even have him for 2 seasons and we did ok. (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 29, 23:37:53
