    The more I think about it, the more I think it answers a lot of questions.

    2 wingers give our full backs some support and if we play higher up, the opposition full backs will have to drop deeper which eases the pressure more

    Superb scenario.

    Alternative, Watmore gets chopped first minute and out for 6 months. Turn to plan B.
    Bollox, no Plan B.

    1-1

    (I am being intentionally pessimistic)

    Plan B

    Slight Change in formation, replace crocked Watmore with Gooch, 2 wingers hug the touchline and push forward
    Ball into the channel
    Gooch runs onto it
    Centre Half comes across to cover
    Cross in Box
    Misses Wyke and O Nein as its overhit
    McGeady picks up overhit cross
    Jinks inside and smashes it into the top corner
    Fans go Wild
    Opposition sit back as Gooch and McGeady are pushed right up

    Admittedly I am struggling for a plan C

    Plan C.

    Run around screaming and pulling oppos shorts down.

    Oppo fall over.

    Free run on goal for Grigg, defenders fell over their pants.

    Grigg hits post.

    And, as we know, it’s going to be a physical one.

    They are a ****ing awful side to play against, we’ve got to be up for that side.

    If he manages that he will immediately go up a level in my eyes.

    My worry about Parkinson's preferred 442 tactics with wingers is our perennial issue of a 2 man midfield being exposed.
    Over the last few years our attempts at 442 with wingers have always ended looking like 424 with little link up play between the lines
    ending up with an exposed midfield that gets given the run around.
    This system relies on the right players in the right roles (Reid's team was a great example of that)
    and players working really hard to drop into the gaps that are inevitable left.

    If you look at all the best teams yes they have the best players but then you look at the stats of the best players and they work their socks off.
    This for me is the key I think we have the players but they just don't work hard enough with and without the ball
    If Parkinson can address this issue we won't be far away.

    It'll be massive progress if we go in front and don't immediately defend on the edge of our own box.

    Go in front, press on and score a couple more and it’s amazing how quick we will all be on side with him.

    He’s come across well in his interview, but then don’t they all.

    Judge in 4-6 weeks, with a mini review in 2 <laugh>

    Read Parky likes to play with a big man up front so think he'll opt for Charlie to start
