Just trying to pick the bones out of our recent form and went back 12 months ago when we played Aldershot away(coleys last game and proccy didnt travel/signed for preston).
We played a 4-2-3-1 system then,but on saturday went 4-4-2.
Are we playing two up top to assist Beattie?,therefore sacrificing a defensive central midfielder.
Aldershot on saturday played a young 6-4 centre back in a midfield holding role,
despite it only being his second game,did a good job(no shots on target)
Twelve months ago,we got a 0-0 draw,and murph did the same job for us (replacing proccy).
My point is,especially away from home,we need to be hard to beat,as the onus is on the home side to force the pace.
I am stuck a little on this,as i dont feel we can play Beattie up top on his own(not as mobile as he use to be!!)
I cant see us doing much playing 4-4-2,as we havent real width,and now we have got two experienced fullbacks,we could go a bit narrower and get around Beattie,what do others think??
