Formation today?

[redpole]

Was it a 352 in possession today and 442 out of possession?? Very fluid and worked very well first half.

Think your right , first half it really clicked we just need to be consistent throughout the game with it . As much as we criticise cod on here I thought he did really well in the lwb role.

[Davefevs]

Was a mix of 343 / 352.

The back 6 were:

Bentley (GK)

Scott (RWB)

Vyner (RCB3)

Kalas (CB3)

Baker (LCB3)

O’Dowda (LWB)

- confirmed by Nige post match too.

At times, early on especially Bakinson, Williams and Benarous played as a 3 with Williams trying to anchor it.  But Benarous also played as a Left Inside Forward in a three with Martin and Weimann.  Think Ayman was allowed to float around a bit and he was quite key in stopping Blackburn playing out.

1st half pics:

2nd half, when they pinned our WBs back:

Baker had just won a header, but Bakinson had covered for him.

I like that last Pic. Bakinson is not always the most aware of players, understanding more about positions and responsibilities will only help him improve. 

I'm away in Essex so I'm hoping they may put up extended highlights. I think Quest do 15 minutes on demand . Shame they don't put up the full 90 any more.

Sky do a 15 mins highlights programme of each game on Sunday….it’s actually about 9-10 mins I think of action.

Great pics, especially this last one. Did you take any after HNM came on? Impression I got was that our shape was less disciplined with him on the pitch, but hard to really tell from watching on the telly.

100%. No idea why they stopped. Haven’t put a single one up this season.

Seemed to be playing left wing:

I don’t think our shape was that affected in fairness.  I thought we finished the game strongly and the subs helped.

Thanks. It's hard to get a good view of shape from the TV.

Yep, agree.  I see a better game from AG than Robinstv.  The fact I have a great view of the whole pitch is such an advantage.

Took a while for Massengo and Semenyo to get into the game, but once they did,  I - for once - had no quibbles with Nige's substitutions policy.
