Far be it from me to offer you a bit of therapy Phil, but perhaps find a quiet place and write down 3 things that make you happy with life.

I do think Kennedy could Play the defensive midfield role as he is accomplished bringing the ball out of defence.

Its another possibility although continuing with 433 without the right players seems sheer folly. BH should play to our strengths so if this is 352, 532 or 442 then its better than 433 at the moment.

How can playing to our strengths be playing with wingbacks?

Our strength has been defensive solidity. Without doubt. Hughes needs to find someone to play centre mid with Young and Wright. If it’s Kennedy, so be it.

Kennedy would probably add a bit of muscle there, but not sure if he has all the attributes, good first touch, calm in possession taking the ball off the back 4 and a good passing range. If we cant bring a holding player in, I would rather sacrifice Young there and give Deverdics a run (last opportunity) as a number 10 or Rutherford until Summerfield or Carra return.

Strengths of our best players as for me 433 currently doesnt use them.
352 would keep defensive solidity but allow us to get forward more. 532 is basically the same.

WTF?

What a strange thing to say to someone on a fans forum on the back of a tongue in cheek one line sentence. You're clearly reading far too much into that post.
I'd suggest its you who needs to find a 'quiet place' and perhaps try not to be so condescending.

No offence meant, Phil. Should have put one of those smiley face thingy's at the end of my comment, wasn't meant to be condescending.

The only time I use those smiley things is in the chess forum. Always good fun when folk take things the wrong way because of a lack of smiley things. Makes you wonder what would happen if there was a smiley thingy amnesty.
