    He’s got no one showing in an 8 position and the front three are static back to goal and run in predictable channels

    EMC would be as well playing 2nd striker / pressing 8 with Haji left and Tats right with Sims central. EMC is a right footed player playing left and a decent marker knows that a dangerous first cross (ie with left foot) is unlikely. In turn they pack central and press to stop the right footed...

    Since BTA out. He chased every ball and back pass and gave opponents no time.

    I think he’s been given a free role. Unfortunately this has left a huge gap in the “8” position and the Ipswich midfield had free range to build from deep. No press.

    I agree with everything but dropping Rudoni for Allen is nightmare fuel.

    Didn’t want to put a foot in / get ran past. See how Ipswich doubled up on our wide players in the final third? Where was Woolfenden? Where was the double up on the right? Watch back - woolfebden playing zonal.

    Rudoni has started to believe his own hype and gotten a bit carried away with himself. Not enough press and harry and grit - too much showboat.

    You might be right. He didn’t play well and maybe gets covered back by Thomas normally when he presses high.

    Rushworth 8 It’d be 4-0 but for him. MVE 6 Seems under the weather. Brau 4 That was a very poor performance by this player. There’s always some muppet that wants to defend poor performances - don’t bother - this was a shocker. Out of his depth. Kitching 5 Silly early booking meant he had...

    Left field one but David Stockdale (who played a couple of games in goal for us) has purchased Farsley FC - the club, ground, everything. Will be interesting to see what happens (for no other reason than curiosity)
