Don't see how you can say we are a poor footballing side, the evidence from the second half on Sunday proves the opposite, provided the right players are available.

What evidence from the second half proves we are a good footballing side? We scored a cracking second goal, but I can't say that is conclusive evidence. If anything, it was being able to bombard them with aerial stuff that gave us the upper hand, not playing good football, unless you equate aerial bombardment as good football, which I don't.

did you not see Bagan up and down that left flank getting behind them?

yeah good to see Bagan getting forward more in recent games. his average touch position is usually well into the opposition half which is just what you want in this system.
the first few games the opposing sides tried to attack that flank a fair bit, but the last couple of teams haven't focussed their attacks there - in fact it seems like the channel between rcb and rwb is where we are currently most vulnerable

Where we have a not very mobile CB playing on the right ie Morrison. I’d much rather Nelson there tbh.

Yes we have a bit of a quandry with Flint playing so well in the centre, and morrison our captain and best defender not doing so well in RCB.

Perhaps it is time to give McGuiness a run of games at RCB and then Flint and Morrison can alternate for the middle defender role?

I recall Crewe fans saying they though Ng would eventually become a centre back, that could be worth trying. I think Bagan also played there at some point?

I was quite pleased when we put Pack at centre back against Birmingham last season. He's important to our midfield right now but he could well move back there at some point, it would really help us bringing the ball out from the back which is currently fairly poor. I'm not advocating what some here call "tippy tappy football" but it's important to have players comfortable on the ball and in possession all over the pitch.

Morrison has to play, it's doesn't suit him but he's our best centre back. Ng and Sang have both struggled (to say the least) this season.
