I can see the point of sticking with same team/formation that has been so good to us in the last 2 away games.
But thats the main point, these were away games, and whilst I didn't agree with going with the formation originally, it worked and got us 6 vital points.
Home games, the onus should be changing more to attacking, not this negative minded 4-5-1. We should not be looking to invite teams on to us at home.
I do firmly believe in keeping the same team as a whole, but sometimes things have to change to keep the continuance of results. I believe we would have been better equipped going in to the game at 4-4-2, drop Tonge and bring in Stead. Stead would also have helped at back for any set pieces they had because of his height. We all know how Stoke are going to play, who can blame them either? It works for them.
But we were playing in to their hands if we believe playing wingers was going to work.
