Formation Vs WBA was a change from the usual and it paid off with a win. But can this formation and team work vs Everton and Man U where our priority will be to defend and sneak a point.

1) I think Ledley in LB position was NOT a huge success and against better quality wingers ..Parr would be a better choice.

2) To accommodate Parr, my feeling is that Bolasie will have to make way...this could mean Ledley in midfield with Jedinak and KG with Ince and Puncheon wide. Just Chamakh up front with Ince, Ledley and Puncheon supporting. This would be my preferred formation.

3) Ince behind Chamakh worked well but I would not be surprised if Pulis reverts to Jerome/Chamakh for the Everton match (esp in the first half) and play Ince wide ..instead of Bolasie. So in other words Jerome for Bolasie. This could mean Ledley continuing at LB ...or dropping to bench if Parr is prefered.

4) I don't know whether it was just me but I got the impression that Murray was to fully upto pace yet and the best we can hope for is some more 20 minute appearances off the bench.

5) I would also revert to Gabbiddon instead of Dann. Dann seemed to be sluggish and it nearly cost us a goal early on. He was also partly to blame for allowing the final ball for their goal. Gabbidon will ahve had his rest and I think has a better understanding with Delaney and Jedinak.

6) Another option is to put Ledley in middle instead of KG. But Ledley is a more attacking player and I am not sure whether he would be as effective as KG to " the dirty work".

So many choices and we have the likes of Guerdiora, Bannan, Okeefe, Gayle to think about as outside possibilities.

Ward Dann Delaney Parr

Jedinak KG

Puncheon Ledley Ince

Chamakh

Much better ? Not so sure about that but now we have 4 fit centre halves perhaps we could rotate from time to time but I would have Dann and Gabbidon as my first choice

I think we will be looking for more than a point at home to man utd would start with same 11 if fit.

I appreciate it's your team but Gayle and Bannan starting ? Players that FA Cup aside they haven't started a game for weeks and 2 of Pulis' new signings players he's been trying to "sign for years" not ? Not so sure about that mate !
