We're able to dictate the game ATM but still the attitude is great out there. That's what a deep squad does, make fringe players determined when given a chance. Good link up play between the the middle and the boys up front. Bergstaller is everywhere, likes to come deep and fill that gap, which is great for Maynard.

We need another goal before half time. I refuse to believe that Coventry will be THIS bad in the second half.

Interesting to see how much position switching being done so far. Burgstaller started as a striker, got switched to wing with Eikrem taking a deep role. Then Kimbo got switched forward up top. What? Funny, though.

Edit: now it's stuck in a 4-3-3 with Eikrem taking over Kimbo's position on the right.

Playing well with 10 men (Gunnarson still anonymous). Not much end product though

I think if we up the tempo again, we could bag a few goals.

There's an answer to why Burgstaller didn't play the last game. He's quite unfit.

He's been involved heavily so far, interested to see how long he can keep it up.

Yep definitely. John and Ralls switching very well too, with John pushing forward and Ralls dropping to left back. It's making Coventry press less so they are not constantly chasing and being pulled out of position. Loads of time on the ball.

Maybe this is the way Ole wants to go? Total football! :ole: :ayatollah:

Absolutely, but they need to be able to keep posession under pressure. Against Blackburn they were knocking it up the park.

Almost dizzy !!!!!

Apart from the back four all the midfield have swapped and I counted three different formations in the last 20mins :notworthy:

He'll need a few more to get Kimbo looking like he is good enough !!!!!

Apparently Tintin is coming on for Coventry. Let's see if they can find a treasure.

We've played a basic 4-2-3-1 all match. Kimbo and Burgstaller have swapped sides a couple of times but theres been no overall formation changes
