Andy Hinchcliffe just proving that because you've played the game, it doesn't always mean you know more than the average fan. "Stoke playing with a back three and Jack Clarke as a wing back" Erm, no. Amusingly, rather than just admitting he had misread the situation, he went on to correct the error by claiming we had adapted to the threat of Watfords front three by reverting to a four at the back. They had barely been in our half.

I wish our wide players would try and beat a man instead of always cutting inside.

Best we’ve passed the ball all season.
We just don’t look overly threatening, especially without a recognised striker.

He’s not totally wrong, when we attack Norry D moves up into LM/W and we are left with a back 3. When we defend it falls back to a 451. We’ve been doing this transition constantly through every game this season. - even our own fans quibble over what system we are playing without clocking that it changes from moment to moment. We're playing with a flat back four and sometimes your full backs will get further up the pitch. Very different to playing with a back three and wing backs, which is what Hichcliffe is claiming we're doing this evening.

Just depends what side we’re moving the ball down. It’s 4 at the back, Collins also is supporting play when we move it down the right. Collins reluctantly and rarely goes over the half way line. It’s not really about which side - it’s whenever we have possession and attack - it’s been instructed and practiced and been done all season. It’s one that not only confuses commentators and fans but also the opposition. I’ve seen Collins over the half way line several times this half already. He’s playing as a right back.

For me we are looking by far the better side in the opening 15 minutes..but will it turn out in the usual way.....we need to take advantage of the dominance.....to state the obvious

good forward play but when we get the cross in we don't have enough men in the box to make it count. Almost begs the question - why cross if too few in box? just hold on to the ball until we DO have men in the box. Can't be that simple, can it?
