beno what was our style that season i only went to a few games.. but wish i went to more. did we play consistently good football or was there mostly scrappy games like they are these days? how would a team playing 5-3-2 passing style get on these days, no one seems to play 5-3-2 anymore. at one time it was very popular. was that a mcghee formation i thought he was a 4-4-2 man like coppell? was it jim and mick who started it? did we have a sweeper and an attacking midfielder out of the 3 DC and MC? interested to hear from anyone who saw the team regularly that season!
Very briefly, just do not give the ball away,lots of short free kicks and corners, if the cross looks iffy come back out and start again, and a central defender in Wdowcyzk who could genuinely bring the ball out of defence.
McGhee used to change formations but it was Jim and Mick who settled on 3-5-2. When they signed Nogan, Quinn dropped himself presumably because the more mobile Nogan was better able to exploit the space created by our clever interpassing.
