I think we could have played five in central midfield

and still would have been out passed by Swansea and Southampton. They have technically better players and have playing a possession style every game.

"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

        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
