Why Are We Playing With Width.?

[Super Bob]

Was it Cryff that said don't play the formation, play to your strengths. Well someone said something like that. Why do we keep playing with wingers? Brown is useless out wide and so to Cotts, our midfield needs packing out, teams are getting FAR to much room in the middle and are shooting and scoring with ease from 40 yds because they're not getting closed down. It's also clear Heywood needs some pace around him, he's great in the air but as slow as a pit pony on the floor, if we pack the midfield it means teams put the ball out wide to cross it in, again play to OUR strengths because we're better in the air, to often we're getting "carved open" on the floor through the middle. IMO we have good players for the midfield, Brown,Russell,Smith,Wilkshire,Skuse but they all want to play somewhere in the middle, not on the wing, not at left back in the middle. We also have a lot of good centre halfs, Heywood,Parto, Carey, Sankofa all would want to play in the centre, so play them there, simple.
