    So would I tbh, problem is that when Adam comes on, Walters plays on the wing? Er we do have Etherington where was he yesterday, the bench I think?

    Neither Walters or Adam have natural pace and neither are a forward/striker by nature, yet TP feels the need to try and force them into this role whilst doubling another role.

    Potts,

    I think Ethers hasn't been at his best for a while, we need to play him at the same time as Kightly and support them both, playing 1 winger is counter productive no balance and they know which way your coming and just double up on your winger.

    I think we could with dropping Whelan. We played far better in the games Adam was out for, playing 4-4-2, but then he comes back and Pulis changes the shape to fit him in again. I'd play Adam and N'Zonzi in the middle, and stick with the 2 wingers, especially as Pennant is due back this month. Maybe Pulis will cotton on about he the formation, but in doubtful of seeing Pennant again though.
