That will affect what the wing back is supposed to be doing - we probably want them to be constantly making the run on the overlap to create space for Cal to cut inside, but not necessarily getting the ball all that often. Whoever plays on the left is naturally going to be involved in the play more because of that, I think.
True enough. The first goal against Barnet was a Roberts to DKE action...but that's what it would look like in a 4-2-3-1 as well.
There'll be glory moments like that (and the DKE to Rodrigues goal in the play-off semi) but it's the general play that worries me when you're trying to get on top of an opponent. For various reasons we couldn't achieve it in that game either.
