When did I say Michael was better than Danny?
What I did say, and I'll say it again is that we have a suitable replacement. Not sure what you where going on about regarding supporting Sammy as I didn't question your support no did I suggest that he takes his tactics from this message board
.
I find it strange that you would dismiss the idea of 4 4 2 (Ignore my typo before, its not a new system
). I believe with the right players and depending on who you are playing then it would be just as good if not better than 5 3 2.
I don't think we should play a formation simply to hide our deficiencies at least not long term.
By the way we are not in 20th place (Although whithout the points deduction of other teams we may have been
)
I'm completely lost where your argument is going. All I'll say is that the formation plays to our strengths and hides our weaknesses - surely the result the manager is looking for? We've played well against decent league 2 opposition. Things are looking up? Why this Mike Bassett obsession with FOUR FOUR F***ING TWO?
Are you arguing
a) We should play 4-4-2 despite it failing
b) We should play 4-4-2 to accomodate Mr Consistently not quite good enough
c) Because we had a solid 4-4-2 that had top class League 1 wingers in it, that because those wingers have now gone on to pastures new and it's not working, that MCNQGE is the answer to make all this work again?
Take Hull for example. Phil Brown has realised his strengths are an industrious midfield, a hard as nails defence and an excellent Brazilian. He's set his team up with 2 big men to win the ball and give Giovanni space and time, and they are truly upsetting the applecart by playing a formation that no one is used to, hence providing them with an advantage.
I've yet to see any other sides set up like us, and this formation seems to be making the sum greater than the sum of the parts, so let's stick with it. Playing 4-4-2 would mean probably signing at least 4 more players. With attendances dwindling this doesn't compute.
MCNQGE is a good conference left back and no more. He should only be kept on if he's a)cheap or b)There's nothing else of similar quality or better that we can pick up.
