I looked at the line up and formation and i thought Malky had pulled a masterstroke playing 4-5-1. We have been getting overrun in Midfield and we were resorting to pumping long balls. So the first half in a nutshell the tactics were right IMO but some personnel was not at the races, but we limited Leicester to nill chances. We was not creating much but we was in control and the hope was we wasn't going to concede.
Then the second half Noone was rightly taken off and Bellamy put on. Great keep the same formation with Bellers out wide
but no we reverted to 4-4-2 and straight away i thought we will be over run in Midfield and that proved to be correct. Leicester was getting forward and the chances they were getting was stacking up and i knew and so did everyone else if any one was to score it was them. And that proved correct as we then had to revert to pumping long balls again.
I do feel if we had kept the formation as the first half with Bellers out wide we would of had all 3 points. But there was again to many players not at the races tonight. Gunnerson, Noone, Smith, just to mention a few and Campbell having to come back to try and get the ball. Tonight Malky you must take the blame and it was good to see super Kev play well, and a big thank you to Rudy for getting us out of Jail.

At the start of the season everyone was complaining about 4-5-1 now we seem to be desperate to play it.
We need Mutch in front of the back four with Whitts ahead. I'm a huge Gunnar fan, but right now those two arent working and something must change.
Wednesday is a nothing to lose game, he may as well go for it.

The way teams are lining up against us at the moment we need to match them in Midfield.

With 4-5-1 we were never going to win, we weren't going to create anything.
We were still over run in midfield.
Nothing wrong with 4-5-1 but if you play it like we did then you won't win many games. The first half we were a mess.

We was bossing the game. But it was to many players not doing there jobs that stopped us creating. But again Leicester was never going to score.
