It was 3-4-3 (Sky agreed), but with Odubade and Burgess wide right and left. Zebowski isn't a target man but that formation meant he had to play as one, from the Halifax game I got the impression he was more of a Yemi style player than a Marvin/Duffy, quick and more effective down the channels than holding the ball up."Myles Francis" wrote:Can anybody actually say what formation we were playing at the start of the game? I certainly can't! With 3 centre-halfs and, nominally. two wing-backs, it suggested 5-3-2, but Yemi and Burge were clearly playing wide with Zebedee in the middle, so 5-4-1?
Or was it a lopside 5-3-2/4-4-2 amalgum with Burgess doing the left wing-back job?
We were clearly most threatening after Duffy and Smokey came on and able to offer some serious aerial challenge up front. Pity about the semi-panic at the back - there was a sense of inevitability that they would equalise. Not a foul on Quinn in my opinion, just the Daggenham player quicker to the ball as Quinn swung his hoof at it.
Yemi's second must be in contention for goal of the season - shot from that far out on his "wrong" foot. Genius.
As for the Quinn foul, I don't think the Dagenham player touched the ball until he made the pass, he came from behind Quinn, caught his foot as he was trying to clear the ball and took advantage of the loose ball.
