None if them kick a bag of wind around for a living Art. Powell picked an attacking team on paper that didn't even fire a blank today. Players to blame for that, nobody else.

None of them off the pitch that is.

Attacking team? Two holding midfielders and our attacking midfielder on the bench? Scannell in the bench? What was the Lolley sub all about 4 minutes....come on Theo mate you're being very generous to Powell in saying he picked an 'attacking team'.

[theo_luddite]

Well if Wells, Vaughan, Hammill and Bunn are defensive minded players then I'm a Dutchman.

[Lord Snooty]

I think Powell hinted after the match that people had been nagging for Vaughan and Wells to play together and that's why he played them both.
Can't see that partnership having much more game time.

That comment from powell I think shut most of us up. if we play one up front, it has to be vaughan. We need more creativity in midfield. How much did we miss butterfield and scanz though? Seen a few town fans talk on twitter about how over-rated butterfield is. WOW.

[Lord Snooty]

Butterfield over rated? Lol. Definitely missed him yesterday. We'll miss Hogg next week as well.
Does he stick with the VW partnership or go back to the three midfielders? In which case, who fills in for Hogg?
Gobern? Billing? Holmes? Or the mysteriously magical disappearing Madjeski?

[ARTERRIER]

Butterfield is over rated in my opinion. Still should have started yesterday over one of the holding midfielders.

If Powell is picking 442 and playing Vaughan and Wells together just to prove a point to Town fans in a important FA cup match then I'm afraid to say he's the wrong man for the job.
The reports I've had back suggest it was another poorperformance, Vaughan and Wells had little chance on getting onto pointless high crosses into the box, the midfield lacked creativity, Gerrard lacked everything except being overweight and was described as embarrassing to Sunday league football and more worrying is Powell doesn't seem to take any responsibility for any of it;

[EastLondonTerrier]

I don't see how anyone can say butterfield is over-rated given the number of goals he's scored, the MOTM's he's got and the fact he's our only real genuine creative midfielder. Many games he's been doing it on his own. Hogg is becoming vital to the way we play but Coady as much as I love him needs to do much more in the final third otherwise he becomes a bit of a passenger. Defensively, he offers the same attributes as Hogg. This is a time where maybe you have to give a kid a start and see what they're made of. Deano said this lad billing and I quote "can be anything he wants to be" and a unnamed premier league club had an internal inquest as to why we were the ones who signed him. Let's see if he's ready then. Can't be worse than who we've got in reserve at the moment right?

I don't think it was an unnamed club back when we signed him....pretty sure Everton was the club.
