It's coming together.
The more the Monkey works out his settled side that can deliver brilliant attacking and defensive controlling football, the better we will be.
We may lose occasionally using this age-old system - still the best one - but we will make many more opportunities and be more solid with players understanding their positions more completely as time passes.
Keep it going Monkey-boy, simple football made this game the beautiful game
Ups and downs.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Pontus has. By all accounts the bloke can play the ball out of the back.
Rather than the hoof ball type. Him alongside Bartley
I would think is where Monk's going. Having him link
up with Bridcutt sounds tasty to me.
Hoping today's the start of something really good.

Sort of went 433 on attack at times too, with mowatt tucking in and Sacko bombing forward. Worked really well today, positioning without the ball was key

Best
Spot on
Wasn't 442.
Very fluid performance and gives us all hope

Sacko will frustrate at times but he certainly gives us an outlet we haven't had for a while, hope he continues this form from November onwards,

Are you guys serious?
All you're saying is "It wasn't 442, it was ... something else just so we can say it wasn't 442"
We had 4 at the back, 2 up top, and 4 in the middle. The role of thos guys in the middle is to work along the whole middle of the park, which necessarily includes (in the 442 system) that they get both forward and back.
Wingers - like Sacko - are meant to bomb forward. And get back.
Even when we took off Antonsson, we brought on Doukara to play up front alongside Wood.
I don;t think you know much about the 442 system, how fluid it is, how it can be used in so many different ways - rigid or fluid, different when we have the ball from when they have the ball, one front man may drop back when they have the ball while the other may stay up top as an outlet.
Get real guys. This is just too funny.
