what did you think about the lack of width? for me if we had set up 4,4,2 we would have won today.
I really didnt like the lack of width. It took me a while to work out what formation we were trying. I think doing the 4-3-3 means you split up, or move apart the Cox/Paynter partnership which works so well.
We looked our strongest when we went proper 4-3-3 rather than the 4-3-3 attack 4-5-1 degend and Cox and Paynter were closer together.
Again, with no wingers our full backs didnt get forward untill again at the end and Jack Smith was bombing down the wing and doing a good job of it.
I was worried that with no winger Lloyd Dyer would tear us apart but he really didnt.
Having said all that we won the midfield battle today and perhaps having 3 in the middle helped with that and we might have been over ran with just the 2.
Either it was by no means a bad performance, so whatever Byrne was doing with the formation worked.
...but...if he doesnt want to play McGovern I'd like to see Macklin given a go wide right.
