    To quote Brian Clough: 'People talk a lot of guff about different tactical formations. I like to talk about good players with brains'.

    I agree but some people think that switching to 442 and 433 is a panacea it isn’t

    Get very much what you're saying. But every management team has a simple choice - sign good players and work tactically with and around their abilities. Or sign players you don't fully trust that much and impose a system on them. Lesser, less confident managers tend to do the latter and more often than not, end up with mediocre or failing sides.

    You're right ... and without crediting the source for his own copyright infringement...

    Once again, Park is less than objective. He has copied the 4-4-2 section headed 'Weaknesses' and omitted the section headed 'Strengths'!

    It is however a good article likening football formations to the kids' game scissors-paper-stone where there is no outright winner for any particular formation.

    Its going to be interesting to see who starts in net. It was probably AOC’s fault more than SH’s last week so SH prob keeps his spot?

    FCD has been the weak link too lately. Will Staunton or Foulds get a game with AOC at RB if they view season as a write off now?

    Can see Cooke starting. Novak off the bench for Cook late on.

    In the same way as I didn't think ROD deserved to be dropped I also think now that Hornby has the shirt he also shouldn't be dropped.

    Not much he could do with the goal and had very little else to do.

    Does it really matter? The remaining games will only confirm that we lack quality and strength of character. Something that must be rectified in the summer.

    Horrendous line up.

    FCD needs taking out of the firing line and if we've learnt only one thing from this year its that Callum Cooke needs to be further up the pitch.

    If we are playing 442 you need one defensive midfielder Sutton and one attacking midfielder Cooke FCD hasn’t been that bad at all

    Your answers made more sense when you were copy and pasting. I'd stick to those if I was you.

    I think I'll give it a miss if that's how we are lining up.
