Commitment, effort, pride, givafuquedness. It was all there but this new formation solved our biggest issue all season, even during that great run from mid-Septemberish to the end of December we had that issue. We played 2 midfielders, both as DMs. They were faced occasionally with 3 midfielders against them and all too often 4 or 5 against our 2. Loughborough Ram (ex DCFC reserves player, never made the 1st) and I have been pushing 1-3-5-2 all season as the best way to go with the squad we have.

Better late than never GR
