Seems like the geordie commentators felt they were pretty hard done by. Not to worry eh?

Very select highlights. Though their summary at the end was a fair reflection.

My link went off before that.

A lot of people on here feel we should never divert from our usual 4-2-3-1 formation but we won that today with the three centre backs. So is it time to admit that formation can be a good option for us?

Only if we have three attacking players and not three CMs.
Two of attacking players being quick, to get us up the pitch.
Both Newby and Amaluzor were excellent yesterday.
Still think for 98% of the games we play 4-2-3-1.

Agreed, I think it's about having the correct personnel to pull it off effectively - not least in the defence of course.

I'm glad Parky has finally seen sense regarding playing James Jones in the middle - thus playing to his strength in the air, and not to his weakness being taken on - which of course he's so much more exposed to when being deployed on the right hand side.

Jake Cooper's re-emergence has also obviously helped in this sense, in that I think we have a very obvious three when we need to use it.

And then of course you have the balance between the front three; having two strikers playing on the shoulder of the last man like we did with Linney and Hugill absolutely didn't work, whereas having wiling runners like Amaluzor and Newby starting deeper and running at them does.

You do know J.Jones was playing on the right this game. Cooper was in the middle and Baines out on the left.

If there'd been a strong referee in charge, both sides could have ended up a man or two short. I hope Banks isn't going to get in the habit of blatant shirt pulling.

Haha I could have sworn it was the other way round. Consider myself corrected. And in that case that still makes me anxious.

What I hope the management doesn't do is use this is our 'York (A)' from last season and use it as grounds for persisting with the formation - especially when at home against so-called lesser opposition. It should be used sparingly for games like Saturday, as previously suggested by others.

Let's face it, the first grapple in the box was a pen - and you're absolutely right, he won't get away with it next time.

Is something going on with Parky? A moody interview last week and no interview this week after the result of the season. Feel like something could be happening in the background? A few clubs looking for managers (I really hope not). I’m sure he’s not going anywhere but something doesn’t seem right?

The interview exists they played part of it on Pastries, very positive. Why not been released is a mystery to me.

It has now.
