He just couldn't help it could he..

The dynamic of the game had as much impact as the positional changes. If Oldham had played the careful possession game pushing us back etc., Whitehouse and Hewitt may have found it easier to adjust but Oldham looked to break quickly down the flanks and moved the ball quickly.
As the Away team, we needed to establish a platform with longer spells of possession and move up the pitch as a unit. Our midfield is not suited to a more open, stretched game. Hence too many yellows!
Most teams we play have an organised press with several players working together. We tend to expect Hanson to gallop around unsupported like a shire horse who has caught the scent of the mare in the next field.
Playing Tues./Sat so much means careful management of resources. Could we see a start for Vernam tonight?
