Seen loads of mentions of some long ball tactics yesterday

Opinions eh? We all watched the same game yet some of us saw the long aimless ball to Rose and Winnall and some didn't. And its supposed to be a simple game.

 

I sometimes wonder if I`ve been dreaming of going to Oakwell on Matchdays. Others may agree I have been dreaming. Its all fun and a way to gerrit art of us system until next game.

 

Cue Supertramp.

 

Last season was more like a recurring nightmare than a dream.

 

He`s been banned so things may start looking up.

 

Looking up is something we've grown accustomed to.

 

I personally we were direct far more throughout the match, than actually trying to play football. That came in patches, a lot of the time, it was an aimless ball from Nyatanga and/or Cranie that the Crawley backline dealt with, or drifted straight through to Jensen.

The football we tried to play wasn't great and I can't remember us ever really opening Crawley up, or neither of the front two missing a chance. I remember Winnall firing straight at Jensen in the second half, but other than that, we looked a bit clueless up top.

That said, I never ever thought we were going to concede. Our back five looked comfortable and but for the switching off from the corner, I don't think Crawley would've scored if we were still playing now. Then again, I'm not sure we would've either...
