Re: Port Vale Thread
you have hit the nail on the head shaker.Unbelievable to think you can go 4-4-2 away from home, leave two upfront,and two out hugging the touchline.
They played accis 4-2-3-1 formation,and did to us what we did to teams last year.
There front man Pope was strong and gave our cbs a rough ride,our centre mids tried to hold there shape,but were occupied by there holding mids,and there three mids floated around the gapping holes for fun,
Indeed,we made Rigg (nice boots) look like Messi,although to be fair,he looks made for that role.
The fullbacks were hesitant about keeping there shape,and everytime they went in field with the runners,the balls just got played into the vacated area.
It was like watching Acci last year,with jimmy,shaun and craney interchanging and moving the opposion around.
Only when we removed the widemen and a forward did we get a foothold in the game,but it was far too late,by playing a system were we gave them the width and stopped them running the game
