Just going to post this. Thought it would feel strange to discuss football related matters, so didn’t bother. (Yes it is quite interesting really).

Yes, it is excellent, fair play.

That's actually quite an interesting read.

Looks like the wing-backs are one of the key elements of balance between defence to attack with how far they get forward for opening up the game to a positional style with width which allows for the other stuff etc

I'm guessing if you measure how far the wing-back are getting forward, or backwards, would be a good rule of thumb on how well the team thinks the game is progressing.

good article that Pete.
Interesting comments at the end questioning whether this philosophy is transferable to the Championship.

Put that 18yr old on MOTD or Sky; talks a lot more sense than many so called experts.

I can feel this lads passion and excitement around tactics. During our long isolation I have a real urge to sort out my laptop and get on FM for an obscene amount of hours per day and try and replicate the interesting 3-5-2 we play.

Good read - made me want to go back and rewatch the highlights of the games this season (may even watch the 3 defeats, as I;m missing it so much!)

Really interesting read. For me that shows what an excellent signing Walsh has been. He is miles above league one level

Really good article....
Lets just hope none of the opposition managers read it (if we ever get to play another match this season) as it's a great breakdown of our style of play.

The opposition managers team talk might go something like this 'Here you go lads read this and stop them from doing that!!!'

Been said on here a few times that you can tell early on if MR is happy with a point based on how advanced Dabo and McCallum are.

I think the opposition will already have done their homework.

I won't believe any of that nonsense unless there's a graph to back it up.

Any team that does the park the bus routine and look for the break is what we struggle against! Excluding Rovrum the teams of Tranmere & Shrewsbury played like that against us and got the lucky break they were after otherwise it would have been two more 0 - 0 draws to add to our stats!

Lol, I’m better at giving the sarcasm but terribly gullible when on the receiving end.
