HE DOESNT KNOW how to play different formations
No one around me last night could even decipher what formation we were playing. It looked like Jet on the left, Chopra up high and wide on the corner flag, 3 spaces in central midfield with the right side of that 3 having no one there. Bellamy in behind Bothroyd, the latter taking up the picnic striker role. With the centre midfield, it looked like McPhail and Whitts were going to get in a tussle over who played where in the left side of centre, judging from them being so close and intimate.
Player wise, because of last nights formation, Bellamy and Chopra were wasted.
Chopra for obvious reasons. Bellamy on the other hand, when on the wing, takes the oppositions eyes off the middle of the pitch (arguably our weakest part). This then frees up space for right winger, but mostly through the middle. When Bellamy plays in the middle, because of the oppositions fear of him, everything down the middle gets stopped because of those two markers on Bellamy.
No matter what formation we've played this season, apart from 442 which brings a semblence of DJ not being able to mess up, we have not looked organised or comfortable in our formations. When we have played 442, he decides to play someone out of position to cancel out what good he's done. The players haven't got A HOPE whilst being managed by someone who uses computer game tactics and formations

2, 3, 4, 8 that's the normal formation under Jones, or to be more precise our league placing from the usual promising position in January to our normal final finish in May.

Sad but true Tony. We'd do better without a manager, than having Jones
