    Kammy introduced the back five to City and always used one converted winger on one side and one converted full back on the other. Actually he didn’t use three conventional centre backs. The central one, Marco Sas, was a sweeper who could pass very accurately over a long range. He eventually abandoned it towards the end of the season when we had to win matches to stay up. Personally I prefer a back four.

    Didn't Jewel use it a couple of times during the promotion season? I'm sure Jamie Lawrence played as the RWB in one game. Problem is I'm also sure in a shock defeat at home to QPR

    But they defend better when they’ve got a midfield shield.

    100% spot on this. Hiring Ryan Sparks was a cowardly act by the club in my mind. Remember when we hired Bowyer and he was sat in the press conference on his own? Remember! What an embarrassment! So then they hire this yes man in a suit to basically be director of Communications.

    Now I believe @Stan Smith@Stan Smith has said that director of communications has nothing to do with the football side of things. This is true normally. However, Ryan is acting like a fan.. tweeting about deadline day, joking about on twitter, having pizza the talking utter nonsense about the deadline day and why players left.

    Now, let me tell you why he is Ping me off. People like @Bronco@Bronco as much as I have banter with him and we will have our fall outs I have the total respect for him like I do any City fan on here. He went to Mansfield(I did) and he when to Oldham(I didn't) and both games over by half time & were an embarrassment. Don't talk about football, joke about then don't say SORRY to the fans that wasted their time and money to see that utter sh&te!

    Fans are not happy and he's trying to make fans look foolish!

    Come out and say sorry, say it's not acceptable and as a club we will be looking into things blah blah don't dare retweet thanks for your support rubbish but not say anything. Speaks when it suits him and talks utter nonsense. Bottles facing up to things. I have read his poor answers on his fans meetings. Playing fans!

    Rhodes should be fronting up anyway. We don't need a director of Communications! We need a sporting director if anything!

    We need a changes! Ryan needs not to talk football! Stick to making poor Labour Party looking adverts for season tickets which people won't buy if Bowyer is still manager.

    Fight doesn't win you games. Creating chances and scoring goals is where we need to improve. 1 shot on target per game is not going to be good enough for your scenario above. Where are the goals coming from to get 4 wins on the spin?

    Yes it has been used subsequently. Just as Willie Watson was the first to use the twin centre backs , Kammy brought us three. The game continues to evolve. What has this guy brought us?

    He just has to go. He has nearly a full year here. He has ample opportunity to start to turn things around. As ppl have said, no sign of any coaching players to play better, in fact the opposite is the case. We were promised that promotion would be top priority, no sign of that either. We have lost two really good players, because they didn’t want to be here.

    We have cut the wage bill half way through the season this is despite being in the playoffs, now we are dropping like a stone. I could only just put up with the crap football if it actually got results, despite my own personal thoughts that you just can’t play this type of football and win games on a regular basis.

    Not a peep out of the club, who I now hold responsible for the mess we are in. If Bowyer continues, I really do not know what the club want, it certainly isn’t promotion that is for sure. I have been a season ticket holder for years, but there is absolutely no way I am buying the full version this next season if I have to watch more of this. If they don’t want to invest a our club then they cannot expect the fans to do likewise.

    That's out of order. It's an opinion forum. No need to get personal

    I don't think forums are for you if someone with a different opinion to you means they're poison. The irony of you stating he needs to get a grip. We all want the best for this club and if @Fordy117@Fordy117 feels that's what should happen in his post above then so be it. Doesn't mean he's poison. There's no abuse or nothing personal in that post. Don't get why you've been so tilted? Why don't you give a constructive reply instead of getting personal yourself?

    Terry Dolan used it to great effect, Mitchell, Oliver, Evans, Sinnott, Goddard.

    I do remember Fordy being one of the first if not THE first to suss out Bowyer. His position then is almost everyone’s default position now. He received considerable criticism. This afternoon he has been called jealous, old and poisonous for stating his opinion. That’s bang out of order. Why not simply agree to disagree and move on.

    issue is, those that are close to admin have always been able to get away with what they want on this board.

    I think the Conte way is the best way of playing it. When RWB pushes up RCB goes to RB. When LWB advances RB drops and LCB goes to left back. That way you retain the back four even with a system which allows an extra man in midfield. Having just signed two more wingers I assume we’ve seen the back of 352
