Two myths about our team:

1. Taking Tettey out makes us more effective going forward;
2. Taking Wes out makes us more solid defensively.

Neither is true. Tettey is brilliant at sweeping up the ball in midfield and giving the others a platform to play.He's nearly always in the right place and when he isn;t he can often get back to foul them to stop the opposition move.

Wes in the tam links everything and helps us retain possession a lot better. That in turn takes pressure off the defence as does his ability to receive a pass when under pressure.

        We let West Ham have a fair few chances towards the end of the game there. Before (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 19, 10:24:41
