" Giving them the chance to have a crack at goal when in that position. No problem with Pilks doing this but would rather see Redmond on the right as he has a better shot on him than Snoddy. The only issue being Redmond''s defensive frailties compared to Snoddy.

You and a few thousand others.... With three in midfield we are not playing two DMs and one AM however as Fer is also capable (and expected) to push forward as well. To put the whole onus on Howson as ''the'' attacking midfielder is incorrect. Additionally this formation is supposed to allow the two fullbacks to get forward more and the two wingers to pose more of a goalscoring threat.

IMHO the problem is that whoever plays on the wings - Snoddy, Pilks, Redmond or even Murphy are conscious that to keep their place they would rather have a crack at goal than passing to someone in an arguably better position. It''s a shame that Bennett isn''t playing in some respects as he is probably more of a team player.

He might just have been busy. Perhaps the "wonder why" is a big secret that he''s busting to tell us? Perhaps Delia is finally selling up?

When did we ever loan out someone who came back a better player than when they went and where are they now?" One of those exceptions looks to be Declan Rudd, 13 clean sheets in the last 22 games and according to the PNE fans he is the "complete goalkeeper".

....and I''m sure I read somewhere that CH would not be sending the Murphys out on loan.

The FA Youth Cup run was a step down for the Murphy twins as they were an essential part of our Under-21 team. They were more productive in the Under-21 games as they were playing alongside more experienced players and were not left exposed (along with Morris in the FAYC) in the opposition''s half. Losing the ball to a defender in the opposition''s half is much more likely when you have no one showing for the pass and that sort of "serious mistake" would not happen so often when playing with experienced team mates.

Don''t know what he''s doing.

Obviously I don''t know you personally, but your constant jibes, negativity and put-downs on here suggest a troubled mind. The Daily Mirror is not my first choice of newspaper,it has to be said, but to write off any reasonably written article in the way you have done is simply bizarre. You may not agree with the basic tenet of the piece, but that does not mean it''s worthless." As Power Hamster pointed out it''s rubbish, lazy journalism. It''s in the Daily Mirror which my Grandad used to read and he was a bloody communist and this thread was started by Wiz who is the biggest arsehole on the Forum. Is that enough reason for a bit of negativity? And God knows why I bothered replying to some eejit who called me a nutter..

Same protagonists. Same victims. Similar amount of dead. Vastly different news coverage.

''molly'' is obviously their equivalent of ''City 1st''. I will laugh when they don''t even make the play-offs.

A nothing piece of journalism (if you can actually call it that) in a cheap left wing rag. Move along, nothing to see here.

Seems like Hughton is already relying on Redmond though. Murphy is only a little bit younger. If they can beat their man, get crosses in and score goals more often than Snodgrass or Pilkington then why not?

RvW said that the plan was to bring in two new wingers over the summer. We brought in Redmond who is, no doubt, a proper winger. We also brought in Olsson who can play there but is more of an attacking Left Back. With Bennett''s injury we tried to get another winger but nothing came of it. Hughton said this of Josh Murphy after the game; "“I thought long and hard about starting him and perhaps the result on Saturday made me change my mind. I was so pleased for him and what a goal he produced. He can certainly benefit from the open spaces and with somebody with his quality and pace you know he can hurt teams." Redmond was taken off on Saturday as he got no joy on the left wing, one of the commentators queried as to why him and Snoddy did not swap wings for a while before he was substituted. We all know that Redmond prefers the right wing and that is where he is most effective but Snoddy currently holds that position (and is fighting to prove his worth there judging by his actions over the penalty incident). I think Hughton would dearly love to play Redmond and Murphy, two quick proper wingers, but that would mean benching Snodgrass, unless he experiments with playing Snoddy (or Pilks FTM) in the AM role.

Pretty good stats. Can''t moan at that.
