Tonight's Formation

[Art Vs Science]

Fair enough. I just wish I hadn't made quite so much effort to get to the game from North Wales!

Ouch. Fair play. Win some lose some mate. That is the joy of footy and the Albion

Really strange squad selection today that ultimately cost us.

 

[goldstone]

Also someone please tell me that Buckley and Vicente are injured because if they were rested for the Liverpool game that will really f*** me off.

agree with that comment.

 

[Lord Bamber]

agree with that comment.

Buckley was heard telling a fan before the game his hammy was a bit tight.

Sounded to me like we missed El Abd tonight. His aggression is really important to us in games like this.
Also think it again highlights, sadly, that Calderon is struggling defensively at this level.

i was a bit surprised to see IC in the line up

You sure he didn't say the formation is a bit shite?

My one point this evening was how well Henderson did against Greer. It was for me the worst game Greer has had this season and it was all because Henderson was such a hand full. Roll on Saturday when he will have Suarez in his pocket. Watch out Gordon, he bites!

May or may not have been Greer's worst game this year BUT, on the night, he was far from the worst !

Cant disagree with that and I am comparing him to his overall season HIGHs, it just struck me how much trouble he was given.

The starting line up was wrong and the bench was wrong.
We have all been saying Reyes looks as if he would be good in midfield, but to play him with Bridcutt and Navarro meant there was no attacking midfield.
Barnes and Macca behind Vokes didnt work, because there was no width.
But the bench with Torby, Kaz and Nooney meant that there was still nobody to go in midfield and go at Millwall. Really needed Vicente or JFC on the bench to give options.
Poor line up and poor bench options, Gus was at fault.
Saying that, credit to Millwall, they seemed more up for it, wouldnt say they looked good, I think we made them look good.
Got out of jail tonight, didnt deserve a point.

I suspect Gus will put his hand up and say he got it wrong.................................................. because he did.


Should have had an attacking midfielder from the start to provide more consistent ball for CMS/Vokes.

More worried that Dunk and Greer were so shaky when they have been our core strength all season. Hope they can analyse what went wrong and resume normal service asap. Also concerned that we never got close on Keogh from minute one to minute 95. Did no-one notice that he was their automatic out and we never stopped it? That and constantly backing off Trotter (surely the result of an imbalanced midfield) = death wish football. Not like us at all to be so niaive and do nothing to correct it

Getting a bit pissed with the flak given to Barnes by people without the football nous to know that by defending from the front and supporting the striker from deep he allows us to play in the way we do.

Hell, so Gus gets it wrong occasionally and we still didn't lose - not that a bad a day at the office is it?

 

[NorthStandN1A]

Gus has said it was his fault he played a formation that didn't work

 

[kevo]

Gus has said it was his fault he played a formation that didn't work

Wel, fair play then. I think we have to accept the fact that he is sometimes going to make mistakes. At least it means he hopefully won't be trying it again in a hurry!

 

[Brixtaan]

if Harley is the answer, you're asking the wrong question.

That's funny yet arrogant and misguided. I think it COULD have been a an evening for Harley

 

[Questions]

It needed either Noone or preferably KLL to have started tonight because before kick-off plenty were scratching their heads. I`m glad Gus has put his hands up though because we can forget that debacle now and move on.

It's disgusting what some of these footballers will have sex with these days.

Wrong on so many levels
