Humble pie time for a lot of people but they cannot bring themselves to eat it.

Also it's funny how we have improved as a team when wo go out and play football instead of hoofball when most of the same people who were having a go at me about the 352 were also telling me to shut up because I did not know what I was talking about when I was saying that Warny should stop with the negative stuff and let them play. I was told we do not have the players who can play football on the floor in the Championship because we do not have Championship quality players. More humble pie not eaten.

I could go on but what is the point because those same people will only berate me again and when I am proved right yet again they will again fail to eat a slice of humble pie.

"A change of tactics required for this game as Stoke are pack hunters, they go forward as a pack and defend as a pack so for me we have to play the counter attack game with a change to 4132 and hit them on the break 352 will not cut it this time IMHO that is."

Sorry but that's what you typed days ago. Selective memory or what?

Sage advice...."Good question CAM but as Stoke seem to play the same way whoever they have played away this season I cannot see them changing and if that is the case then it would be stupid to stay with the 352 because it would cause them no threat and put us at a huge disadvantage."

Exactly

;D

Good to see we varied the corner routine instead of lifting it in long to no one in particular.
Maybe Barks and Hammy have been working on it in training?
Try doing the same with free-kicks going into the forwards..

Gally we only played 352 when we has posetion of the ball or did you not read what I posted about the tactics. This time Warny got it right and we defended as a 4 or a 5 not a 3 but I gues your selective memory chose not to see that did it.

Again we did not play 352 we played a combination of systems that gave us the best chance of getting a result. Who say Warny does not listen to us because something has changed over the last few games. Maybe Dale Tonge has had a big impact on the way we defend?

IMHO he had a great game and for all I care you can say what you like about it as it does not bother me in the slightest.
