3. Harris - every time he starts I’m going to put money on him being taken off. By the end of the season I will be a very rich man
4. Grant - seems to have acquired a blindfolded appreciation society as he was a popular man of the match despite not touching the ball in the second half . Summerfield was man of the match by a country mile
5. Hooper - good runs and a good touch, but hopeless in the air. As we will end up pumping high balls into the box in most games, I fear for him
6. 343 isn’t the formation. It was effectively 5 defenders, leaving an outnumbered two in midfield.

All in all, I am much less hopeful than I was a few hours ago,
Pagl you are one of very few naysayers whose opinion I respect so can I ask you whether you really think it's fair to reach all those conclusions given we were playing stoke not Maidenhead and we are experimenting with a new formation?
