A 4-5-1 look to our play
I like, so is it here to stay,
Or 4-4-1-1
I suppose, as some
Would call it, both home and away
The key really is Hoolahan
Or whoever plays the spare man,
Between he who soars
And the midfield four
Such an integral part of the plan
I thought with one striker alone
It would leave us possibly prone,
To very few goals
But v Cats, many holes
Appeared, and chances to score were shown
At least, if the movement is there
Which Morison and Wes did share,
For Sunderland, too
Till they went 4-4-2
Played the same, without getting anywhere
And with Bennett and Pilkington who
Are both quick and talented too,
In crossing the ball
Those chances did fall
And with it, the confidence grew
And just maybe it´s easier to switch
To 4-4-2 if there´s a hitch,
Than making the other play
Which in a psychological way
Seems a negative move on the pitch
So our diamond for now´s packed away,
In the safe ready for a rainy day,
But it could still shine
And sparkle any time
If exhibited between now and May. OTBC
