Smudgie,you really need to get/watch match DVDs of the time we are talking about.
We played 4-2-3-1,with ryan/mcconville/craney i the three.
The centre backs (hessey/sunbeds) split and joycy came short and either half turned or went wide to the fullbacks.
If the opposition went with him the ball went to Ryan who drifted in to were joycy started.
You mention Ryan being the playmaker,the ball had to go through two lines before it got to him!!,indeed,in that team a lot of his good work was in/around the right channel.
The strength of the team was its ability to inter-change together with a decent hold up player (gornell)
