Doesn't really matter what the formation is if players haven't turned up. Sounds like another case of where our players think they're so superior to the opposition, that all they have to do is turn up.
Having not won an away game yet, I doubt any of the players think they're superior, they're probably just trying to figure out why the **** we're playing with Akpom as a lone striker.
Here's an idea Patty. Take a screen shot of your magical stream showing the score. Then we can all be envious because you are clearly a Jedi master of the Internet.
