I actually thought Coleman got it wrong last night. Whenever we play with Craney as a 'floating striker' we never seem to combine or create very much. We are far more effective when we have 2 proper strikers and Craney in midfield and I knew we were in for a long night when I saw that combination before the game.

Although it was a shame that Craney was injured, we actually started to play football in the second half. Instead of the big boot up to Mullin all the time (which Artell and Bentley mopped up all night), we started to pass through midfield and run at the Morecambe back line. It meant that we could hold onto the ball and maintain pressure, which we never did in the first half and constantly gave up possession far too easily.

This isn't meant as a criticism of Coleman, but I do wonder if things would have changed in the way they did if Craney hadn't have been injured? Sometimes things can conspire in our favour.
