The new formation was odd. Two strikers, one of whom thrives off crosses, were deprived of any width or crosses. Perhaps Harris thought Bennett and NG could provide the width needed but apart from one decent ball from Bennett the crossing was woeful / non-existent, I am at a loss as to why we are not setting up a team to send in cross after cross after cross. Bizarre. Personally I have never been a fan of narrowing the play and playing without wide men. In light of having Moore in the side I just can't fathom what he was thinking. Also, as we packed the centre midfield area, we were also second best there... you could have never have guessed we had an extra man in there.
