I know he played okay on Tuesday but it feels so wrong putting Shotton as a RWB... Downing is okay on the right and I reckon Tav can handle a wing back role. With no proper wingers atm I think this 3-5-2 is the best we can do with what we've got. Hope to see McNair come on as fresh legs around an hour in.

 

Do expect Boro to win this one but it will be a tougher game than Sheff Utd, they were as bad as I've seen in a while at the Riverside.

Thanks for the dinosaurs you promised Wilson, I spotted not only Pulis but Alladyce, and Hodgson in there, how many did you get readers, and where was Warnock?

1 - 0 to the Boro from, yes you got it, a set piece, (yawn).

We absolutely did at times play with wingbacks on Tuesday.

 

Not for the whole game, but they did make an appearance.

 

I really don't think we did.

Great opening post wilson - that cheered me up after yesterday.

 

Regular formations are now extinct.

 

We're going to play the lop-sided 4-2-2-1-1.

 

What we lack in style we will make up for in zero width.

Pep Guardiola will be all over this new formation after our 1-0 win thanks to a McNair header from a corner puts us top of the league.

 

Up the Biro!

We did for a spell in the first half, Pulis discussed it in his interview after the game.

 

I thought it was pretty obvious to be honest.

A very short spell. For the bulk of the game we didn't have them though, which I think is the more relevant point?

 

Yeah fair enough, I don't think it's going to be our typical formation. I was responding to the point that we didn't go with 3 centre backs.

 

We clearly did even though it was only for a spell in the first half.
