We should always play 4-4-2 at home against lower table sides and get them buried.
Rather than this going a goal up and hanging on scenario we endure.
 
Buy a CM that can pick a forward pass, tell Rom to hang on the shoulder of the last defender = profit.

But when half of his task is pinning himself to a defender for an outball to get us up the pitch as a unit, he can't focus on hanging on the shoulder. That's pretty much my entire point - Rom is never going to be a target man, so we should look to stop him being involved in that way at all.

That ball before from Barry aimed long to his head, when he was marked by two men and didn't have a prayer of doing anything with it even if the ball was perfect - that's the problem; that pass should never be made.
 
There fans must have had some good food at half time judging by their chants

And a better midfielder than Barry wouldnt have made that pass.

You would assume somebody who has played with somebody for 2 years would know what a player can and cant do.
 
Don't rate Pennington personally, gets caught out often. I know he's only a young lad but the others (Galloway/Browning/Holgate) are already a good step or two above him.
