3=1 vital win for u21s

Good first half in a crunch game WHU U21 0 Rovers U21 2 HT

Best player on the pitch was the first half smoke bomb

Wasn't that impressed by either team. A deserved 0-0

However we have the second best home record and 6 of the remaining 10 are at home.

The worst team to play at Ewood was us v Preston

The only 2 times we tested their back up keeper we scored. He didn't have to make a single save.

One is too much normally

And they play each other next week so we could drop back in

The BBC had to rush the post match interviews as the Manchester Balls were starting to defrost

It's all about decisions. Pears makes better decisions than Kaminski who often plays a suicide pass into the midfielders whereas Pears is more likely to lump it rather than be too brave.

I see the 4231 formation is working well for the Academy sides too.

Yet Coventry who played 6/7 fixtures away at the start of the season have now played 17 at home

JDT must really hate midfield players. Down to one at the end and guess who gets fouled for the free kick that we score from

Both Watford and Norwich squads are valued higher than theirs.

Hull could be the surprise package yet.

This formation gives better protection to the full backs and reduces the amount of cover the attackers need to provide leaving them free to attack. I'm sure JDT will persist with only two in midfield even though it's never looked good.
