Looks like a change in formation going 4-5-1

Good to utilise Vydra from off the bench. Hopefully before the 87th minute.

Scraped 1-0 win, defending like it’s the Alamo to confound the doom-mongers

Taylor back. I think Pieters is a bit unlucky.

Is he playing McNeil drifting central behind Wood?

Vydra can count himself very unlucky, whilst Westwood and Brownhill should consider themselves very lucky to be starting.

I think McNeil will be given a license to roam when we have possession.

Is that a tactical switch or is Vydra carrying a minor knock?

Holding up the ball/winning free-kicks is the order of the day for Mr Wood.

Assuming tactical.

If it was down to just a knock then Jay would have been in at 442

I don’t think 4-5-1 is the correct formation or personnel. You play your in form players and both Wood and Vydra are in form. I think Vydra could’ve given United’s centre halves the run around this afternoon.

It could be a cricket score for them now.

Moving to 4-5-1 is sensible imo.

I’d play 4-5-1 every game till the end of the season now. We would grind out three draws with that, and I think 36 points is enough.

Agree to an extent I’m that you play your form players, but one of the biggest criticisms of Dyche is that he sticks with 442 regardless.

Playing 4 in midfield against the 5 of United would have been a mistake

Peeps were crying out for a change in system, and Cork to return, both are happening so let's see if it improves us from the last couple of outings,

Dwight starts also which is a boost.

Could we have seen the last of Nick Pope? Hopefully not or he’ll miss the Euros. He must be desperate to get out there for us and for himself.

Yes but it's a couple of matches too late. It cried out for bringing Cork on into a midfield 5 when we were leading at Soton and Newcastle.
Anyway let's see how it goes. Without Pope I fear for us today - I'm afraid to say.

Not even sure a midfield 5 was needed against Newcastle or Soton - the obvious change for me was Cork for JBG and Brownhill tucking in on the right.

I also fear the worst without Pope between the sticks. We know that on the day he’s capable of winning points single handedly. Let’s hope this is BPF’s moment.

Give Peacock- Farrel a chance will you. He is a full international.

I just hope we do better than the ladies today.

Luke Shaw looked like he played him on? No VAR check? No lines? No discussion? Do we need Scottie as our manager for that?

Lee Dixon said it was incredibly tight and he thought Wood was onside. No VAR I suspect tells you he was onside

Why aren't we playing to the same rules as in the Arsenal Fluham game?

Why are we zooming in on Luke Shaw's toenails to double check that offside???

Looked very tight with Shaw. Probably marginally off. But as you say should be shown properly and reviewed.

Decent first 10min but still passing the ball away needlessly far too often.
