Well I’ve already posted once on this but I’ve since had a sleep and listened to AB’s post match interviews and more thoughts have made further comment required. In response to the question “why did you start with a back 3″ the response was, not verbatim, ” I needed to try in case we have to use it in the play offs” WHY!!!
What is this obsession with setting up to match the opposition? We can’t play 3-5-2 because we don’t have any WBs, the closest would be Scales & Denton but it’s not natural for either and it’s a complete waste of Pat Jones ability. Set up with a system that suits our players strengths and let the opposition match that if they want to.
I also think that our top class MF had a collective off day, understandable perhaps when they spent most of the game watching the ball flying from back to front over their heads.
