Back 5

['ArryBoy]

GR persists with a back 5. But this formation relies to 2 key ingredients
1. Wing backs who are effective going forward
2. Centre backs who can carry the ball
We presently have neither. Furthermore it deprives the midfield of an extra player, so the opposition just runs through us

Rowett persisting with 5 at the back summed up:

General Melchett: “Field Marshal Haig has formulated a brilliant new tactical plan to ensure final victory in the field.”

Blackadder: “Ah. Would this brilliant plan involve us climbing out of our trenches and walking very slowly towards the enemy?”

Captain Darling: “How could you possibly know that, Blackadder?! It’s classified information!”

Cresswell can carry the ball forward. Coops has been doing it also but trips over his own legs when moving past the halfway line!

It always culminates in a long ball to nowhere
