    Seems clear to me that when we play teams who want to play football we can match them. When they decide they don’t want to do that and go for the long ball over the top to a big striker we are vulnerable. Second half against Hull, second half yesterday. We don’t have a big man up top to retaliate.

    Someone like Moore?

    We certainly need a plan B. If we had Thiam on the bench he could have changed the game, if he came on second half.

    I can barely remember the words to "442 and Pottsy on the wing." It seems like another age.

    4-1-2-1-2 needs some other rhythm. Any scat scat singers or rappers got any ideas?

    I have a reggae inspired idea. 4-1-2-1-2, that's my number,

    Stick with the Yellow Submarine tune:

    4 at the back and 1 just in front,
    1 just in front,
    1 just in front,
    2 further out and 1 at the point,
    1 at the point,
    1 at the point,
    Two up top and nob'dy on the wing,
    (all together)
    NOB'DY ON THE WING!
    NOB'DY ON THE WING!
