Depends which scenario we are talking about. If we’re saying we want to “allow” the sort of chance Chaplin had that’s got to be absolutely wrong. There’s no point packing the 6 yard box when the guy is 8 yards out with a free shot at goal.
Let’s be honest, we could have won a lot easier than that. We’ve won away at a tricky place and rested some key players. There’s not a lot to be negative about.
Excellent win at a difficult place to go. I suspect we won’t play that formation against better sides. But we won and rested Wright and Sakamoto. Grimes and BTA superb.
The facts are we are keeping a lot more clean sheets and are cutting out the very stupid goals we were conceding. Grimes has a role in that, and we have a keeper who can make saves which helps. But also, Thomas and Kitching have been excellent.
I think there’s a serious case for doing very little in the Jan window. Dovin should be back. Maybe some LW cover that means Wright can still play centrally?
I think we need to change our mindset (difficult for Cov fans). None of those teams will want to be playing us at the moment. Let’s go and beat them. There really isn’t any reason that we can’t.
