I thought I knew a little bit about the modern game but seemingly – I don’t.
I’ve watched the National League playoff finals and have learned a great deal.
Apparently:
Playing a high line after you have scored is actually allowed. Who knew?
Accurate passing is, apparently, not an inappropriate way of playing. Hmm.
Moving into space to provide an outlet is used heavily in the NL. Sound plan.
Giving space to forwards in and around your own penalty box is frowned upon.
Playing the ball regularly into the opposition box out of reach of the GK may be attempted as a tactic.
Getting shots on goal is considered desirable.
I know that I’d seen all of this employed by the opposition when the Iron were playing but was unaware that we were allowed to do these things too. I really must be kept better informed.
I really must apologise for having written on Bru when I knew so little about how the game can be played.
