TBF people have said the transfer committee (Reed, Micthell, Adkins, scouts etc) got it wrong with a lack of defenders this summer, you're the one placing all the blame on Les Reed. Has he tapped your missus or something?

This. It was 4-4-2 with Rickie in the hole. Rickie was NOT part of a five man midfield! We have looked poor playing 4-4-2, but we've also looked poor playing 4-3-3. For me the best we've played is against United when we played 4-3-3 with Davis, Ward-Prowse and Morgan in the middle.

4-4-1-1 then, it certainly wasn't 4-3-3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So who chose the formation the times we haven't played 4-3-3? Who's made the call when we've changed tactics mid-game?

Top wumming! Ignore the valid point, avoid the question on formations again and whine about the agenda comment!

Ok. Do you think Les Reed told Adkins to play 4-4-2 against Fulham and Spurs? Do you think Les Reed gave Adkins the nod to change tactics mid game against Wigan? I know what Adkins said about the whole 4-3-3 thing after West Ham, but the fact is we have changed tactics/formation a number of times this year. I'm genuinely interested to hear whose idea you think this was?

Not according to Turkish and his "source"...

Fulham home 4-4-2 Spurs home 4-4-2 Leeds United 4-5-1 Granted the other games we started 4-3-3 but we swapped to 4-4-2 in the second half vs Wigan. Didn't we change tactics/formation against Everton as well? Not that I expect a response, you ignore these games every time they're put to you.

I'm assuming Les Reed decided to play 4-4-2 against Spurs, yes? Just asking because you were fairly vocal about the whole 4-3-3 thing after West Ham.

Lol @ Reading!

My problem is that our star players never get criticised when they turn in poor performances, yet we boo our average players when they're, well, average. Put it this way, if kid A was straight A student but started to turn in Ds would you express your disappointment or say unlucky and boo your consistent straight D child when they got home from school?

Morgan and Davis are both better than him and it won't be long until JWP is as well. That said it will be good when he is fit and back in the squad.

I think he's a bit overrated personally. He runs around a lot therefore a lot of fans think he's a good player.

So have Guly, Fox, Davis, Fonte...

People showing a lack of minerals on and internet forum?? People get stranger every day on here!!

Pointless rehash?

Do you work in PR??

What whispers have you heard about Redknapp, Turkish? As much as I like Adkins, I can't help but think Redknapp would be a good move for us.

Turkish: We didn't play 4-3-3 against Fulham, who made that decision? Also, who made the decision to change the formation mid-game the times we have?

Why do people keep ignoring this?? I'm assuming some people think Nick Nack (lolololol pmsl!!) fancied a change against Fulham? I know Adkins said we play 4-3-3, but the fact is we have played with other formations this season.

Are you actually saying that Cortese or Read told Adkins to change formation at half time against Wigan?? Mental!

So who choose the formation when we didn't play 4-3-3 against Fulham or when we changed formation in the second half against Wigan?

Villa hit the post before Saints clear it off the line.
