Mantra Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Didn't see the game live but from the highlights, there were some cracking goals. - Crawford's cross, poked back across the box by White? Tap in. Lovely stuff. - Their second goal, phwoar, great strike. - Crawford again making things happen for our equaliser. Drives into the space, looks like he's lining up a shot, disguises a pass into Miller and a lovely finish. Despite 2/2 losses in competitive games, there's lots to be positive about. Do still think we'll end up switching to a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 eventually but hopefully we can get this wingback system working as it's good to have the option.

This is where the manager leaves himself open to criticism as he will decide on the mix of the midfield and therefore the success of the formation in each match. The fact still remains that this sort of tactical approach will not bear fruit overnight and therefore I still think we will lose/draw as many as we win before Christmas but then hopefully things click and we push up the table.

Great points or one of the 3 defenders drops deeper and cuts out the trough ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
