We weren’t in need of wingers first half midfield was pushed up we were winning and dominating the ball and were opening Crawley up with Walker Daly and Vernham all causing them problems with some slick inter passing and we were high pressing them.
Straight from the kick off second half we dropped deeper the pressing stopped and our only offering came from long ball in sharp contrast to the first half.
Now what I don’t know is if this is a tactic from the manager or the mentality of the players.

 

Agree that we play way too narrow. We looked a different team when Vernam went off today. Gillead offered nothing and plays too centrally. Vernam and Foulds offered great width down the left with Foulds overlapping runs. End products often are questionable, but if they were consistent at all times, they wouldn’t be at this level! I’m longing to see 4-4-2 with Cook and Elliot now with crosses flowing in!

 

The marking for those goals is terrible. Any cross in and the team always win the ball and sometimes score. Poor
