While it's tough stuff to rake over, yet again another fantastic and insightful piece from Dan. These have been a great addition this season, have enjoyed reading all of them, for better or worse on the pitch |  | |  |

Excellent.
Ashamed to say I don't think I've read one of these before.
Excellent subjective analysis backed up by clear examples.
Fantastic! |  | | |

So from what I understand, in the main, we need to be tighter defensively and close up the spaces - especially the full backs / wing backs.
Possibly with Laird and Paal back this will improve (whether that's playing a three or a four). And the two weeks off hopefully they will have been drilling this ad infinitum.
I suppose we will see at Wigan on Saturday... |  |

Very interesting article. I don't always pick up the finer points during the actual game.
Not sure I agree that Kakay's body position is that significant for Rotherham's opening goal. If he turned the other way wouldn't have made much difference in that particular scenario, but yes, I do take the broader point about defending tight and having the right player for the position.
Will definitely look out for the points raised in our next game. |  | | |

Very interesting analysis. Kakays positioning would be unacceptable down the park. |  | | |

Thanks Dan. Very interesting and informative. Player profiles is an interesting aspect.
I always knew that right footed players at left back looked awkward at times. Now I have a little more understanding of the reason.
Slightly different in as much as he is left footed but Manning, when he played for us, and when he would receive a ball wide on the half way line whilst being tightly marked, would inevitably play the ball backwards because imho his body position was too closed. | | | |

This issue of left/right sided players shouldn't be such a big deal. They can be coached and practice looking over both shoulders. It's muscle memory thing. Rollerbladers/Ice skaters/skiers deal with this problem whilst executing far more technical tricks/manouvers. For footballers it's just turn and run. | | | |

Great analysis. So they are not doing what u9s are coached to do, shockingly bad.
A question that needs to be asked is are the players unable to do the basics, such as keeping the correct distances , because they are shite or can't be bothered? | |

or because its a real life game played by real life humans so they make mistakes.
If every defender in every team played exactly as they were supposed to, then every game would end 0-0. | | | |
