My only bit of a moan,which others have picked up recently,we went 4-4-2 with a lot of width,which leaves us short in central areas,murph and Joycy are similar players, and what happens you end up marking space to fill the gaps in.
That's ok,as long as you press the ball in the final third,sometimes we didn't,and on another day will cost us.
If they play together,then you have to go 4-2-3-1 which means you lose the width. Who would be a manager !!,and JB got it right tonight  |
Agree with all there especially regarding full backs (both Hunty and Nayls excellent) and our shape - two points I picked up on. Was wondering how much more effective we would be with a narrow three in front of Murphy & Joyce - we have the players for it (Mingoia was fantastic tonight).
Must also make a special mention for Webbs whose centre forward play was exemplary tonight in my opinion. His positional sense and first touch was immense. Well done Dan. This helped Gray to express himself. James was brave, determined and lively - everything you want from his type of forward.
Just what the doctor ordered tonight. Same again on Saturday.
Come on Accy.
