FdB has not to my knowledge said so but the Evening Standard report he will switch to 4 at the back and play 4 3 3 against Burnley. I believe this will be a compromise FdB has reached during talks with Parish. It makes sense. Our defence is comfortable with 4 at the back.

Its beginning to look like he has been given a reprieve in that no sacking before Burnely.

Conte got of to an awful start at Chelsea and folks were questioning his abilities but he was savvy enough to change things after a few games. There's no shame in it. I'd like to think FDB will do the same and everyone can untwist their knickers and pull them up.

And one big difference: Pardew at least had points on the board, we barely were in the relegation zone under him. Now we have played 2 teams favorite for relegation at home, and were beaten in messy, disjointed, disheartening displays.
I had my worries from the beginning, the possession/control attitude not suiting us. What further bugs me no end is that he has not grown up with the 3/5 on the back and this wing back s***. He has brought up with guess what..... 4 at the back, and 3 players upfront with distinctive wingers. It's a miracle to me the press is not jumping on that.
Of course I would like him to succeed and I hope he sees the light, plays 4 at the back on Sunday, Milo in his strong position as DM and ADAPTS to us and the PL not assumes the adaption should be the other way around. Time is running out though, we all know it; even people stating it is ridiculous to consider sacking a manager this early.
