PWR while Kant is down. It’s a box midfield with Karoy and AC the advanced 2. We look solid and have had a couple of promising opportunities. Better than recent games
We've had a reasonabke spell of possession without doing anything with it, it's far too congested in the middle and no-one's making line-breaking runs.
It didn’t really go anywhere, but crucially it gives everyone a physical and mental break from having to chase after Birmingham constantly.
If we'd played like this and kept the ball this well on Tuesday we would have battered Bristol. It's a shame it's taken weeks of hoofball against mediocre teams to finally play football against the best team in the division.
Given how we're lined up, (with the front two in the box midfield designed to stop the Birmingham playmakers) I wonder how we can implement this in future games.
As feels this formation is setup to deal with Birmingham rather than play how we want.

Happy to go with the box in future games, Jones like the energy and pressing and we're def showing that again today.
You can put Berry in for one of the advanced two for a bit more quality on the ball and even stick Taylor deep alongside Coventry in the dreaded double pivot.

Fair point but as someone who's been pretty critical of Jones recently I am holding my hands up and saying he should get at least a bit of credit here early on - there were a lot of questions about whether he would/could try any other tactics than 3 5 2 and he's answered that pretty clearly.
Okay so we're still pressing a lot but it's actually looking much more effective in its current form and he looks like having the players still on board with him.

Oh dont get me wrong, I'm not being critical of Jones, and think he's got it right so far with this formation - Just wondering how we can implement it in future games

Now jogging off so should be back on in 30 seconds (assuming the ref pays attention to the clock).

Still not seeing much from the wingbacks though.

Brum player dispossessed 40 yards out, quick ball forward and a 30-yard effort just fizzed over the bar.
Was that Godden's shot? I can't bloody tell from here ...
