Reckon their keeper, centre backs and right wing back had over 50% of their possession but it was possession without intent.
A lot of their play was a bit like watching us at times last season.
That’s a testament to Butler in that case, had us set up solidly so that they couldn’t find a way to break us down. And as you say, tapping it around aimlessly at the back is exactly what we’d have been doing last season under Dean. The South Shields manager thinks he’d rather watch his team than us but having watched us play incredibly dull football under Dean, I’m all in favour of Butler’s approach.
