The tweaks that Dodds mentioned wonder what they are?


Actually playing the ball over the top and through the middle on the floor for the striker to chase.

Exactly what Rusyn was crying out for. Either Mowbray was too stubborn to move away from Clarke and Pray or Dodds was too shit scared to upset the apple cart and mention what we needed.

Rusyn has not looked in same class as Jobe in that first half… and he actually scored.
This is the same way we played before we tried to force fit those 4 strikers

Exactly, we play better without trying to shoehorn in players that are nowhere near ready, good on Doddsy for playing to the teams strengths.
Ekwah playing a lot deeper seems to be one of the tweaks. He’s still having a stinker.
Improved massively second half imo.

Tactics worked well today, no idea what he was thinking going 5 at the back which led directly to their goal as we had nothing out wide then they attacked Huggins but before that it was better than I expected from him after last time we had a caretaker

Intended as game management but invited a bit of pressure. 9 out of 10 times he doesn’t win the header or if he does it’s unlikely to go in. Made for a tense few minutes but overall I think we were slightly more direct and a little more robust defensively. Small margins because we could easily have won our last three games with better finishing.
 
We played 4-4-2, first with Aouchiche as a false 9, then with Pritch as a false 9. Binned the 4-2-3-1 shite.
 
Bringing Pritchard on, seemed to swing the game.... Dodds won't say that of course, using experienced players is frowned on.
