The British mentality is to see this formation as negative, but it s not seen as this in the foreign leagues. If played with the right personal it is a very attacking formation, 4-4-3 in many ways.

seriously? i must have missed those posts

they were always going to win that one IMO. let's just hope they don't rack up the GD tonight.

i am pretty much convinced that he's a WUM, on a constant-wind up.

HT Lambo to the rescue.

i honestly thought going 1-0 down here was the worst thing possible, but we've reacted fantastically and we deserve this lead IMO. Top top performance so far. More goals in the 2nd half please...i don't want to be going into 80mins + hanging on..!!!

i can see him with his head in his hands at the moment

Lamboooo he's done it again

in all the celebrations, i must have missed alpines reply.

if there is one thing you can guarantee in football, is that Lambert will never go more than 3 games without scoring a goal.

Lambooooo

i think it's so we can have as much pace in the attack as possible, lambert and Barnard isn't the quickest front line in the world....so having Punch, Lallana and Antonio supporting Lambert is potentially much more frightening and potent.

when you back it up with facts, he never responds.

it will be for the entire game tbh, we have to win this so we'll throw everything at it. expect us to have a few more close shaves yet.

have you just tuned in then? because we have battered them for 50% of this half. They've only just started to come back into it.

27:34 hth

rovers hit the bar. they will keep hitting us on the break now.

there isn't much to correct tbf, only Otsemebour - but we've dominated the match, we've got the right team out there.

bloody hell

not really...we just have to win, i have huddersfield down as a win tonight, they have other games to slip up in.

almost 2-0 now, we are going to be very very lucky to get anything here now. They will just keep hitting us on the break with their pace. going 1-0 was the worst possible scenario, we needed the first goal here. ****, ****, ****. @ hudds ffs

how the **** have we not scored tonight? utter ********.

two penalties that could end our season! 1-0 to rovers

penalty rovers. we've battered them, and we are about to go 1-0 down. not going to be our night..

I'd accept a defeat every now and then, it happens - every team loses football matches, but i wouldn't be happy if we were scrapping around in the playoffs way off the auto places, after the invesement we have put into the team. That would be a massive massive let down IMO and i'm not sure Markus/Nicola would accept that either. Promotion is a must next year, and i don't fancy taking the route via the playoffs, it's a lottery and anything can happen. Auto promotion or bust IMO.
