Interesting to see the tactics and formation used last night particularly after the half time tweek.
Many fans demand two up top but most teams in this league will pick us off if we play that way. All season we have been wide open down the flanks, I was pleased to see the three amigos addressed that last night and that suggests to me they knew the problems with what Taylor was trying to do.
For me we have got to build on the tactics and system used. It was very Warnockesk in the second half in particular.
The back 4 apart from the first goal look solid, Ayala and Morrison are a good pairing with Hall to come in. Peltier has got to play right back, if Dexter plays it must be in front of Peltier. Fred is preferred by me as he is the attacking outlet on that side but I would be happy with Dexter there is Fred needs a break. On the other side Bramall plays with Reven in front of him until Fergie is fit or we bring someone in.
So the midfield is Fred Tiehi Odoffin and Reven. Tiehi and Odiffin to break up play and to shield the defence, we need to keep clean sheets and stay in games. The one in behind, last night it was Ollie, Odoffin can also do that role, is key, that player must get up to support the forward.
The one up top has to be Nombe as he is more mobile that Hugill and we must as we did in the second half last night get him running the channels to drag the defenders out wide where they don't want to be.
These are the tactics we must use, to try and stay in this league stick with them, drill them and look to be difficult to beat and pick up points.
Be very interesting to see the Hull game, build on this and get a result, and the three amigos might be in busy.
