Caprice put in two decent left footed crosses into the boxIn retrospect I feel MT chose the wrong formation and to a lesser extent the wrong players.
Playing 3 at the back at the expense of a midfielder invited Sutton onto us and they certainly had the ability to do just that and it was just luck and superb defending from Ray and Dawson that kept us in it. Perhaps it was the old Tisdale tactic of letting the oppos wear themselves out and then hit them on the break, in which case it worked, but why put ourselves through that when if we'd taken the game to them from the start we might have had a more comfortable afternoon. I'd have liked to see us start in a 4:3:2:1 formation with Atangana playing as the defensive midfielder. Sweeny being poor and Taylor outstanding is not the whole truth, perhaps actually changing to an offensive formation was the reason for our improvement. I'd also have introduced Edwards far earlier and don't start me on the somewhat contentious issue of Caprice playing left back, I hate it and think Daniels should have been given a chance.
Still, we won and MT can take the credit for that, 3 valuable points! In fact the opinion that we could have could have been better is nothing but encouraging. Up the City!
