I'm struggling to see how it can be considered negative when we are getting so many shots and so many sitters.
Were we getting more shots in under PDC?

To be fair, though we did create chances first half, most came when he switched to a straight 442.
And to be even fairer, I didn't see it as a 451 first half myself. More of a 4-1-3-1-1, with parrett floating around of his own free will

The formation isn't responsible for strikers not taking chances.
Although in saying that we looked miles better when we switched to 2 up top, Ferry on the right wing is so wrong.

There's nothing wrong with the formation at all.
The football is better than that under PdC, I think.
You really can't legislate for terminally poor finishing
Would have liked to have seen Andy Johnson out there today

It's because Williams is shit I thought we ascertained that fact Williams is brilliant at creating chances but shit at finishing them off. That's why we need a second striker to support him. I was actually disappointed when he went off as his pace was causing Oldham problems. Sorry, this formation just doesn't work at home. |

Fuck knows what was going on with the first half formation. Not sure if it was even a 4-5-1 but whatever it was it seemed to have neither the possession benefits of the 4-5-1 or the attacking benefits of a 4-4-2.
We battered them second half when we changed to the 4-4-2, although I do think that was in part helped by the circumstances, with the momentum we gained after the overhead kick and Oldham sitting back.
Whatever formation we play, Ferry should NEVER be playing on the wing.

It isn't negative. In many ways we control games better and pass the ball better. It just doesn't present us with as many chances as 4-4-2 seems to.

I'd love to have Andy Johnson out there too but I expect QPR would say the same. The bloke is made a glass at the moment so we were always going to be lucky.
The problem wasn't the formation but the finishing. Rooney will be quite rightly will be happy with his goal but I'm sure will be the first to admit he was as culpable as anyone.

Agreed Ronnie I think I made my feelings quit clear when PDC shipped Benson out |

We're more than capable of winning at Donny and taking this league but to state the flaming obvious, need to improve our finishing.

Indeed he did, in the BBC Wilts interview after the match. |
