Good post and points but numbers game should be fluid with players able to shift from one formation to another during a game,even if it means coded instruction from technical area.
Our goalkeeper contributes too much negativity with his continual desire to roll the ball out and perceived inability to connect to an outfield player via a quick throw or long kick.
In attack the desire to walk the ball into the net is apparent when you consider the shot ratio from outside box.
Substitutions have to be made in a better way instead of on the hour mark, in what always seems to be like for like.
Little thing but might be open for consideration.
