We didn't start with a flat back 4 no. And if there were 4 at the back on paper that's not what Potter had in mind with his game plan.

What we saw from 36 minutes was a shift to a flat back 4 and it's then that we got a bit of structure to our game with players knowing exactly what was expected of them. It's then we were able to see a purpose and a balance to what we were trying to achieve.

Potter in the first half confused the life out of his own players, he said this himself

He was trying to be a bit too clever, simple as that. His thinking was we'd be able to push our full backs as far forward as possible and have Naughton and Grimes slotting back in depending on which side we may have been attacking from.

There was a huge change in shape and tactics on 36 minutes. You don't understand these things, you've never played the game and can't grasp it.

I stuck a few quid on us at half time because I felt confident we could turn it around after the change in shape. 9/2, tidy

But hey, don't beat yourself up about this mate, you're in spectacularly thick company, not too many will notice ðŸ‘

Calm down, I am only pulling your plonker!!

9/2 hey......better odds than what the bookies were offering there.

A bit late to this party but still, never mind. It was a back 4 from the start, Olsson was clearly playing left back but it was all so unbalanced and uncoordinated I'm not sure the players knew where they should be in that first half.
Maybe Potter rings changes to try and keep players fresh but I think it's started doing harm and a settled team now would be a good idea.
Grimes deserves the left back slot, he's been the better player there. Celina is out of the loop out wide and wasted. James has done well on the left so why switch him? Specially when Roberts has done well on the right.
Fer needs to be starting and subbed when he's done. I'd rather start a game strongly than have to come from behind.
I think I'd rather see Rodon and VdH at CB and when Fer is done put CCV in at CDM.

Oh for another Leon right now, or maybe Mesa would have been that player? McBurnie needs to find his scoring touch, we need to score when on top.

If anyone could have got inside Mesa's head it would have been Potter. But CDM wasn't Mesa's position , apparently he liked to play further forward. I hope we can get shot of Narsingh in January to enable Potter to get a loan/freebie experienced CDM in to give us that impetus for the final push.

The flourishing of both Mesa and Sanches this season is a testament to how awful a job Clement did in the first half of last season.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Whose fault was it that Sanches was just as poor the season before joining us?

So much for mental alcoholic Mesa eh? I sincerely hope we make Clement's visit 95 minutes of sheer misery and pain on Saturday with some positive attacking football and quite a few goals - please

A players performances when they don't play for us is of little interest to me.

We will need the Narsingh money and perhaps some others for more important matters and that will be to tie down some real stars.

Our own stars. This is the number 1 priority in the next 2 to 3 months.

It's a fair question.

I guess it's based more on us failing miserably to get anything approaching consistent performances out of two clearly talented players when they've both gone on to demonstrate that they're far better players than we saw.

I do take your point tho.

We 100% started with a back 4
CR VDH CV MO
KN. TC MG
DJ. OM. BC

Then on 35 minutes switched to
KN. VDH. CV. MO
MG. BC. TC
CR. OM. DJ

Can’t understand how it could be interperated differently?

We’ll be lucky if anyone offers more than £2m for Narsingh unless he gets a run of games to prove his form and fitness.

It is 2018 and Narsingh for all his issues is a 3m payer everyday day of the week.

The yanks will just be happy to get his wage off the book. They have not put a penny in so wont be in a rush to get a fee for him.

Think the op was getting confused with the interchanging of Roberts and Naughton, giving the impression we had a back 5 if you include the wing backs.

Naughton certainly started in midfield but was asked to "drop in" to cover Roberts when he got forward.

I have watched it in detail again, it was an easy mistake to make by the op but Potter certainly started with a back 4.

It's not a mistake lad, it's called a tactic.

And it wasn't just Naughton, it was. Grimes on the other side.

The formation as best I can diagram it was

-------------------------- Nordvelt -------------------------

--------------------- CCV ------- VdH --------------------
Roberts ----/-----------------------------/----- Olsson
-----/---Naughton --Carroll --- Grimes ---/---

James ----------------------------------------------- Celina
---------------------------- McBurnie ------------------------

Roberts was trying his best to bomb on leaving Naughton to tuck into a 3 when necessary and the same the other side.

And they were all over the shop with their responsibilities.

Then we went with a flat back 4 and things started to click, albeit more when we got a bit more steel in the middle when Fer and Fulton came on.
