From what I've gathered, and I'm guessing really, the team had Van Homoet, Howard, Togwell and Macken as the midfield? Not sure though. And I dunno if the players were sure.
I was at the game, and i'm not sure what formation we played! At times it looked like Kozluk and Nyatanga were playing the same position, god only knows where van homoet was meant to be playing! All that was clear, was that we had two big strikers on, and no width. Hopefully Macken wont be asked to play in an attacking midfield type role, and we dont play a wing back system again this season. It was a shambles!
Agree It was like a pre-season friendly,no atmosphere,players playing a formation that looked as if it had been thought up in the pub the night before, we let them have a couple of goals to keep the home fans happy.....and the proper ref hadn't turned up so they got a PE teacher to stand in whose main sport is hockey and doesn't really know much about football
A bit harsh It worked first half. Restricted Palace and we had 2 good chances. Problems occured second half after we conceded. We should have brought Leon, and JCR on sooner, taken one of the 3 strikers and possibly Van Homoet, off and gone to 4-4-2. Just my view of it.
