A few chances for either side. (Actually chance count - on target - about level)
Four changes, team:
Jones; Devera, Nosworthy (Westcarr 72), Chorley (c); East, Dunne (McCallum 65), Wallace, Hollands (Fogden 77), Kpekawa; Taylor, Tubbs
Newboy Kpekawa gave a scare by limping off in the warm-up but took his place.
We're 12 points clear of relegation, but 9 off the play-offs (can't think about winning last 2 games, would be 3 points off them) Usual story, not enough quality, seems also we concentrated on big Akinfenwa, but gave others more space.
McCallum missed a relatively easy late header which could've rescued a point. "Not our day". I wondered if Awfs was bluffing when he said that 3-5-2 would be the way we play to the end of the season.
At some point (being very mid-table), we may as well try players for extended periods (e.g. Fogden, Atangana). Taylor & Tubbs means 2 up front, but are there variations (other than 4-4-2) to play with both in side? Maybe a 4-3-1-2 - with Wallace as the '1'? Awfs chucked on both sub strikers in a virtual 4-2-4, but although we did have a couple of late chances, it didn't happen.
But not out of it yet, possibly still a little early to 'chuck towel in' on the season? Having said that, we're still (generally) not creating enough chances away from home (other than *that* game).
Our results have been 'ok' - but are there many fans of the 3-5-2? (except for when Redknapp played it, but then we had the players - and he abandoned it for the Prem anyway - too attacking - well *his* version anyway).
