In response to some of the above remarks about formation, it would have made sense to try out different options in pre-season rather than sticking fairly rigidly to 532, while it makes sense to build a squad that is able to play in more than one way. My concerns of playing with 3 central defenders is that unless well-drilled there’s a danger they get in each other’s way, while it seemed at Newport that the wing-backs switched off on their defensive duties at times. We’re likely to stick with the same formation regardless tonight, so can re-evaluate at full time.
