That's the point isn't it.
Same as it's always been....
It's never a case of one setup gives you a greater advantage every occasion.
That comes down to individual circumstances, strengths and weaknesses and match-ups in individual games.

In these situations you will gain in one area but you will lose in another.
That's the balance that the coaches have to determine.

It also depends on how the individuals themselves are playing and what the opposition does.

Pitto and De Koning weren't outstanding but they limited Gawn's influence and that gave us an edge around the ground.  De Koning was also involved in the tactics to keep Lever out of the play.  If either of them have a shocker, we're behind the 8 ball.

Another midfielder might have given us more run but at the cost of allowing both Gawn and Lever to run amok.

While getting smashed in the clearances, struggling to take a mark around the ground and having our key forwards double-teamed 🤔

Notice Board (Visitors Enter Here) / Spanner's replacement
Last post by PaulP -
I was off the site for several months, so not aware of any changes that may have occurred in that time. There was discussion a little while ago about Spanner not being able to look after the site any longer. Has this issue been resolved ? Has anyone taken over his role ?

Thanks
