Odd to see Campbell back out of the team. I suppose it can be justified that Gregory scored 2 in 2 and Afobe needs games. Hope it's not a sign of things to come. |

This has all the feel of pre-season friendly, with MON still trying to work out the best system and starting line-up.
I assume Mikkel is not match fit. I would like to see Tymon figure at some stage.
no Butland. Interesting.

I think Lawrence is wrong, this ISN'T 4-3-3, Afobe and Gregory are definitely set up as a front 2. I'm not completely convinced that it's a flat back 4 either, although I have to admit that Bruno is definitely playing very wide left if it is a 3. |

Well it's definitely 2 up top and Thompson is holding. You could say Smith is playing as a wing back but christ only knows what's happening on the left if that's the case |

It comes to something when you'd rather Cousins plays. |

Cousins coming in changed the lockdown results. He’s shite but he does a job. Thompson is just the ultimate nothing man. |

Confirmation that McLean played LWB by the manager. Maybe he should have told the player that.

Pretty obvious it was 3-5-2/5-3-2 I thought?
BMI was left side of a back 3 but got badly exposed for pace by their winger whenever he had to go across.

It wasn't obvious to Liam Lawrence, he swore blind that we were playing 4-3-3. And Bruno and McClean seemed to think they were playing in a team that was playing with a back four. |

How did the midfield three line up?
Was it one sitting and two advanced or two sitting and one advanced

How did the midfield three line up? Was it 1 sitting and two advanced or two sitting and one advanced Thompson was sitting and at first Powell was playing more advanced than Clucas but gradually it just turned into a mess, all three had poor performances. |

It's worrying that he sees Thompson as a holding mid, he's tried him there before and he's totally useless there. |

Thanks for that Paul. I didn't see it so maybe that turned out to be one of my better decisions in recent times!  |

Well, it definitely was 3-5-2/5-3-2 (as confirmed by MON afterwards). Surprised that Liam Lawrence thought otherwise, but there you go. |
