Why?



I’m not the reactionary type but it looks very much like the old Mick Buxton type tactics.

Deep lying midfielders inviting teams on, the forwards are isolated. We concede a good thirty yards in midfield. You can’t do that against teams that are physically bigger and more athletic than you are. It is very strange as we have talented players but the formation / tactics don’t fit with the physicality or type of players that we have.

Thing is first half we broke up play in our half and quickly and exposed their back 4 frequently Tin hat but McGeady was wasteful in first half) - so it should have worked.

But second half we were over-run by a stronger and much fitter team.
