January Transfers

And on your question; yes I am sure, as our players are so obviously suited to that. Only it would be wise to play Downing on the left when employing it, which Kenny doesn't seem to want to do.

You can all sit there and say you were happy with our tactics, that is your choice but I feel regardless of Kenny's status, he has made too many mistakes. Therefore these mistakes need to be rectified or he will find himself out of a job as these American's have no love for Kenny, unlike we, the fans.

Also I think people are getting confused between 5-3-2 and 3-5-2. 5-3-2 is three centre backs and two wing-backs, like we played under Roy Evans. 3-5-2 is three centre backs, sometimes one of them a sweeper and 3 centre midfielders with a left winger and a right winger, this was a popular formation in the eighties.

I agree, and I think it's you

TOOR other than the Stoke game when has he made massive tactical blunders.

We've played various formations, a standard 4-4-2, a 4-5-1/4-3-3 and 3-5-2. Stoke was the 3-5-2 and we drew. Against Newcastle at home we played the 4-5-1/4-3-3 and won 3-1 but then we also played the 4-5-1/4-3-3 vs Norwich and only drew. Both game at home. Same formation and tactics, different result. Why? Against West Brom away we played 4-4-2 and comfortably won 2-0, but then playing 4-4-2 against Bolton away from home we get beaten 3-1. Same formation and tactics, different results again. Why? Against Norwich I thought we played better football than we did against West Brom, The football was fluid and we created about 20 chances. But in one game we drew and the other we win. Why? Because football isn't just about formations. Maybe a goalkeeper has a blinder, maybe we're wasteful, maybe we're unlucky, maybe we have a decision go against us, maybe a couple of our players don't play so well, maybe the other team are having a great day. It isn't black and white.

I'm not saying that Kenny hasn't made mistakes. I don't particularly like it when Henderson is played on the right, but even then we've won games with him there and also dropped points. Same teams, same formations, same tactics, different results. All this means that we're not far from being a good team, and Kenny has pretty much got it right. He makes the odd mistake but he like the team are still gelling and trying to get it right. We're progressing as a team, including the manager.

This season I've seen some of the best football I've seen in ages, but we've also seen some dour games at home. Its a work in progress mate.

Also I think people are getting confused between 5-3-2 and 3-5-2. 5-3-2 is three centre backs and two wing-backs, like we played under Roy Evans. 3-5-2 is three centre backs, sometimes one of them a sweeper and 3 centre midfielders with a left winger and a right winger, this was a popular formation in the eighties.

I think you're getting it confused a little mate. When Evans stress playing it we played Rob Jones and Bjornebye as our wingbacks with 3 CBs. Jones and Bjornebye are defenders who could play in a flat back 4. They weren't wingers. It's not much different to playing Johnson and Enrique.
