Solihull Goals

[Killerkline]

Suspect the second goal was just not massively organised after the red (it just wasn't a red, had Dallas got the ball, it would have been towards the corner flag and not the goal!) First goal I think would be sorted with 4 at the back which is something I think we will revert to

Slightly different with "three" centre backs. You actually only have one centre back with the outside two being a hybrid fullback/centre back. It's not ideal if you don't have players experienced in playing the role and you end up with goals like we saw there

My point is… 3 at the back, 4 at the back, CB, RB or LB… stop the cross. It’s a basic?

The other basic as a defender is to make sure you get to the ball first. It’s also a basic for a striker, and their players did it better than ours.

First chance I’ve had to see the red card, and it was ridiculous. It would have been highly contentious in a league game, but to give it in a meaningless pre-season friendly simply beggared belief. Apart from that, a good comeback with 10 men.

I agree. Loads of peeps have said online ''It's a straight red in a League match'', I disagree, there was barely a shirt tug and then what looked like a clash of bodies. Yellow card all day, every day for me, even in a League match.

I didnt think it was even a foul.He played the ball and Dallas took a dive...
Still to pull 2 goals back with 10 men is a good team effort and bodes well for the games ahead.
