What worried me was that our defence was so easy to split open on the first half, and only better in the backs to the wall second half becasue of the numbers back there, so I'd think I'd rather see 352 kept as a plan b rather than a plan a, like it was last season.
If we are changing away from 442 I'd rather see a return to 4231 because that gives us the opportunity to play Jacobs effectively if he really is returning to fitness.
Recco seems to be quite effective through the middle at the moment
And gives far more energy the Jacobs can. I don’t think we will see much of him in a Pompey shirt again.
