So nish was injured

[calumb]

So no tatical change in mindset from hughes then, just that the he could not play his preferred 3 men up front.
Oh well we can look forward to him getting fit so we can get back to watching 3 men being over run in midfield with the tremendous results that brings.

Seems so...

There's no sure fire way to tell if this injury affected his tactics but surely now that he's seen a better and more stable performance from this 4-4-2 he has to in some manner refrain from using all 3 strikers at once.

I have no problem with deek scoring from the wing, but him being positioned there in a 4-3-3, or 4-5-1 affects the overall balance of the team. Nice to see deeks getting a bit of pace back this pre-season though, but would still rather see someone else on the wing.

Thought we looked far more comfortable without Nish - lumping the ball up to him has just been an easy (and largely unsuccessful) option. Why change a winnnig team?

Hmmm. Because Yogi's fixated on playing with three strikers?

I'd keep one senior striker on the bench, play 4-4-2, and make controlling the middle of the park a main priority. if wee do that, Deek and Stokes will score goals, and if we need to change the pattern a wee bit, Nish gives us that option.

Simples.
