Does IB have the nowse to overcome good opposition in 3 play-off games?
Remember last year when Torquay put Kyle Cameron left midfield to stop our attacking down the right which worked and also aided them with height at set plays.

My worry would be If we get Grimsby.I think they will come with the game plan where they dominated us in the 2nd half at the lane....my own believe is that IB is football smart enough to have a plan to overcome this if it becomes a problem again.

Cropper is Grimsby's Tozer - long throw after long throw, using a towel like it's a piece of football kit. Players should be ready to complain about this (or ask for a towel for all our throws especially if we go up in the game)

We started 5-3-2 there, wasn't in it at all - changed to a 4-2-3-1 at half-time and won.
We played a 5-2-3 at home to them and lost 1-2. Brunt started, but to be fair to him we were winning when he went off and then got outplayed.

Seems tricky, IB might want to play wing-backs but they've seen this from us in 3 halves of football and we didn't have much success with it.

I agree.
After 30 mins of the Grimsby game we were so dominant I foolishly told my mate this will be 3 or 4 nil.
They then went s**t or bust with pressing us so high up the pitch and we had no answer.
In more recent games we’ve played a lot of balls down the channels, early on, to peg the opposition back.
If Grimsby press like they did last time, and we can get the ball over the top to our forward line, we could find ourselves with a lot of space.

That serves me right for reading the thread at 4 o clock in the morning 😂
