    Who would you drop from the team that scored four goals last game?

    Leave Hourihane in a 4? It's not worked in the past.

    It has. In fact, he was at his most prolific in a 4 man midfield.

    Not advocating that's what we do, but just disagreeing with the idea he can't play in a four.

    The proof will be in the pudding.

    Win today with a convincing display and we will all be happy won't we?

    It doesn't play to his strengths. Leave him to worry about attacking and linking with the striker.

    It's also looked very weak with him in a 4.

    I dunno, mate. I just remember us playing two up front and four in midfield when he was scoring all those goals under Danny. So it felt a little unfair reading that it didn't work. That's all.

    There's been times it hasn't worked, been discussed to death on here. Nowt unfair about it. He's better further up the pitch IMO.

    In fact didn't our own manager discuss it earlier this season?

    He's just scored too.

    He was, in the four I mentioned. Twas a diamond, he was at the tip.

    Just to carry on the argument like.

    You didn't answer my question about whether our manager discussed the problems with fitting Hourihane into the midfield?

    If our manager thinks it then surely it's fair for a mere mortal of fan to mention it?

    I've no interest in that, it's irrelevant to the only point I've made, the only contest to your argument, and that's that it has worked having Hourihane in a four.

    Keith Hill believed Wiseman was our best centre half and captain. Managers are wrong sometimes.

    We are winning so Lee Jay can take all the Plaudits at the Full Time Whistle.

    In Lee Jay we trust

    I've an interest in it as it must be of relevance if our manager believes it to be so.

    Fans are wrong sometimes too. Just because it worked for a spell doesn't mean it can continue to. It's also been ineffective in other spells. Our manager doesn't think it possible. I don't think it'd work consistently.

    You've got a different opinion, hay ho.

    All along, I've only stated that it has worked, and often, with him in a midfield four. Nowhere have I suggested that's what I'd select. I've offered no opinion on it.
