The best form of Defence is attack - Thank you Roder!

[Viva La Roeder Revolution! 0]

Im very please with the way Roeder has set about with the formations away from home! Gone are the days where worthy and Grant used to play 4-5-1 it dosnt do us any good and when we play 4-4-2 we can take the game to the opposition like we did to palace on Tuesday. If we had played 4-5-1 we would have been pushed right back and sat very deep and to me u dont win matches that way! Thankyou Roeder for giving us something to cheer about away from home!

I suspect that the away formation was as much a reflection of the midfield we had. We have recently had the "new" Fozzy, Russell, Pattison, and Smith. The midfield is a a much stronger and effective midfield now, so GR can afford to be more attacking without exposing the defence (which in any case has been bolstered by Tiny and Mo).There may also be the fact that Hux does seem an automatic staring choice, for whatever reason, and Pattison in his place covers the left side in front of Mo.
