When we played 4 centre backs in the past, I think under Moyes and Ancelloti.. we did ok, today I've struggled to stay awake ;(

Where is Aznu?

The plan isn't to have 0xg. Moyes will be as annoyed about that as we are.

But we're in the game, and the attacking threat can be improved.

I'd get Patto on.

Maybe Dibling.

Haven't got a fucking clue if I'm being honest.

Alcaraz for Armstrong?

Listening on the radio and it sounds very much like a typical drab game between two midtable teams.

Not great to not have anything on goal though.

Not heard armstrongs names once. Don’t know if moyes is making the right decision picking him over Rohl

Hook Keane, patts on Jake into the middle, that's if Branthwaite is ok to carry on

Concerned about Gana - whenever he loses the ball he seems to just trudge back towards our goal, seemingly not up to the pace?

Same last week too

Keane has possibly been our best player

Oh just realized we don't have either of Myko or Aznou on the bench. A bit odd, but I guess we'd probably just pull Garner back there anyhow.

The weirdest part of this formation is seemingly having Armstrong play on the right wing.

Bit anti-football but he's obviously come here with a gameplan to avoid anything apart from a light press and make Brighton come on to us.

The overall set up I get, but we dont have any pace to offer an effective counter. Ref has waved away loads of fouls too which doesnt help us.

I'd bring on Dibling for Armstrong and have KDH push up a bit more into the 10, try to offer some service to Barry and have half a chance of all 3 points, rather than hanging on to 1.

Need to get KDH closer to the goal.

Missed most of the first half as took the kids to watch the Sponge Bob movie... Was surprised to see Armstrong wide right when I got in.

Feels like Moyes really is sending message to Dibling. In the long run it might work out for the best, but not sure what he hopes to achieve with a right side of JOB and Armstrong!

I know Moyes has always said players are injured and been really vague about it, but I'm still convinced there's been a flu bug going round. Just too many players randomly find one minute and then out for a few weeks the next.

So many clubs in the middle of the league are pretty similar, really not much between 7th to 13th. If Brighton beat us they'd go above us as an example.

Doesn't mean they're great, but based on points so far, they're pretty much the same as us.
