... Must. Stop. Overanalysing. Aaaarrgghh.
No sh*t Sherlock, it’s called a plan B. Blackpool lost Sims a day before the final and changed formation and tactics.
Sims and Yates with 2 wide players was the basis of Blackpool’s rise up the table. Embleton usually played as one of the wide men but played central just behind Yates at Wembley. We shouldn’t get too hung up on formations and one style of play, I would much sooner have options to switch from game to game and even within a game. The higher you go the more options you need, the scouting is better so teams find a way to stop you playing one style.
Some of it was kind of by accident as I’m sure Sims would have played if fit.
Perhaps your problem is just that your analysis is incorrect? You may need to think about that.
Plus our comedy team from on the coast...........ladies & gents (if yer allowed to say that) I give you Grimesby Town. Huzzah!
Yes absolutely but the point is that to be successful you have more than one plan, formation and tactical approach that can be adapted so all the players can slot in and be familiar with. My main point being we shouldn’t be so dependant on the tactics dictated by the inclusion of a Tom Hopper type CF.
He did sign on loan for the boss while he was manager at Oxford. I keep looking at his stats and keep wondering why at 26 he has not played more or seemingly settled at a club.
Wolves had high hopes for him but he suffered a serious knee injury around five years ago. He was out for more than a year but Wolves kept him around in the hope that he would return and fulfil his potential. Unfortunately for Graham, Wolves were promoted to the Premier League in 2018 so his chances of making it back to their first team basically disappeared.
I have to agree with you, particularly because Morton is a different type and I think his talents were wasted in trying to continue with the same tactic. If for no other reason that the opposition are wise to it !
What a ridiculous thing to say!! Why this obsession with Sunderland?
