After ditching the loose 4-5-1 formation after Andy Keogh's arrival really, we have gathered into a more compact and rigid 4-4-2 formation. With the 4-4-2 we will be able to show where our real talents lie. After playing the 4-5-1 with just McCormack on his own up front we haven't been able to create any clear-cut chances. However with another striker to link up with he is playing better and so is the whole team. Clayton, Howson and Brown have been linking up play very nicely from the centre-midfield section. They have also been playing the ball to the likes of Gradel and Snodgrass more which gives us more opportunities out on the flanks to press.
As well as all the good going forward now after scoring six in two games, our defence has also gotten better. It still needs work, but it has gotten better. Tom Lees appears to be quite solid in his position at right back. Kisnorbo is doing okay with whoever he plays with at the back. After a shaky start Andy Lonergan is also impressing many fans. Some of his daves have been sublime and kept us in a lot of games.
In conclusion if we can look to keep the ball rolling and many get a good run going of unbeaten games then I think we can make up for our lost points in the first two games.
Tomorrow we travel to the Keepmoat stadium to face Doncaster in the Carling Cup. I can expect Grayson to make plenty of chances from Yesterday. With only one days rest it'll be interesting but also worrying to see what happens. I'm not to bothered about the Carling Cup as it isn't a competition we are likely to make a a difference in. If we beat Doncaster I'll be happy obviously but at the start of the season it isn't great having a tight fixture list, especially with another away day at Ipswich on Saturday. The Ipswich game is important for many reasons. I believe we currently lie 13th in the table. With an away win which will be tough to get against Paul Jewell's side we can push up the table well and progress from there like every team wants to do.
Over and out!
