Explain our System

[Tony Currie]

I have been thinking about this a lot recently and although we all know we have been playing with three over lapping centre backs, wingbacks and two forwards. At times I have to concede I can't keep up with the chaos that seems to be on the pitch, which I firmly believe neither can the opposition!

Do we have any master tacticians on this board who can explain our system succinctly?

 

[away ends always empty.]

I think this system is designed to score more goals than the opposition,sorry thats me best effort on a Sunday morning.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Sky pundits refer to it as organised chaos.

 

[DronnieBlade]

Overloads.

Patience. Looking for optimum opportunities to, for want of a better word, pounce.

And, crucially at last, a more robust system in place for when certain players in certain positions “go”, that others are tasked with holding.

away ends always empty. beat me to it

 

[Punk Blade]

Our beautiful, and ever so slightly bonkers system....

 

[blade too long]

It's a variable centre wing back multi option overlapping system.

 

[Kenilworth]

Tuftyball

 

[sheffielder]

Unless my eyes deceived me, in the second half we put in a cross from open play and the fella at the back post was O’Connell. Insert shrug shoulders

I would say that the formation we play wouldn’t work without the extreme hard work and brilliance of Norwood and Fleck. Not only do they direct us going forward but they have to cover the holes when defenders and wing backs go on a jolly boys outing

 

[BushBlade]

In simple terms, pass and move with players moving forward from positions that they’re not traditionally marked from, or dragging their markers into areas where they’re unsure if they should keep marking or get back in position, with the intent of getting more of our players into dangerous areas of the pitch than their players.

Then press the ball when we lose possession so that our players have time to get back into position.

 

[JackSUFC]

We all know how good we are going forward and in possession, but we’ve improved off the ball this season massively.

We look a lot more solid defensively and I think that’s mostly down to Egan and Norwood coming in. Five clean sheets in a row says it all.

 

[finlaytheblade]

It's a variable centre wing back multi option overlapping system.

It's really about rotation ,if we had more pace in certain areas we would be even better.Rome wasn't built in a day but Wilders house taking shape ,but not quite finished

 

[GrayBlade]

It’s a system where all the TV experts in every live game think that we will leave ourselves wide open at the back...hence our shocking defensive record.

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

A bloke near me said the collectors' item misplaced pass from Norwood to the left in first half was aimed at the overlapping ball boy. Does that help? It was not the one who nicked the towel, but clearly they are crucial.

 

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

It’s overlapping centre backs, it’s everybody bomb on, it’s every generation gives a hero to the Shoreham. Tuftyball is magical and magical is art, thinking of Norwood in the middle, and Chris Basham and captain Billy Sharp.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Make no mistake, with the 'organised chaos' and the 'overlapping centre backs' simplicity. Cwakball is a sophisticated, data based tactically astute way of playing. It is multi-faceted with pressing high up the pitch, defending from the front, overload areas by different mechanisms, dead ball originality, rotation of roles but still a simplicity of expectation of the individual.

It bears detailed analysis, of both the data it creates (Beans) and the tactics involved.

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

Total football

 

[RammyBlade]

I noticed that Basham brought the ball out from the back on the left hand side and seconds later was on the right hand side up front ! Amazing effort from Bashambuer !

 

[LenTednTony]

With a rotating front two, intermingling with a rotating Mid three supported by a rotating back five assisted by two of those , or three or four, bombing on at any one time and rotating and interchanging with any of the other two rotating and interchanging lines, it’s called the whirling dervishes. Dervishes are a type of sword, dagger or Blade so, I guess it’s an appropriate style of play for Dem Blades!

Hope this helps

Forget who it was against but we scored a goal at the BL end earlier in the season and the 'overload' was created by Baldock, Basham and Stevens.
I put it on here and drew a triangle on them. Baffling that from open play a team can have a RWB, LWB and RCB in a RW position at the same time.

Edit. It was against QPR.

Stevens on the byline, Baldock on the ball. Basham in the box

Easy..........fucking brilliant.

Done.

 

[TTMeysh]

At the beginning of last season someone explained that the best way to think of it was that the whole team pivots around Coutts, so that in effect the team shifts through 90 degrees. It sounded very plausible at the time. To be honest I'm usually in too much of a heightened state of excitement or anxiety to do a detailed tactical analysis.

It was Duffy but other than that I said exactly the same

Actually a dervish isn’t a sword.

That still shows perfectly one of the frustrations I have with our players in that the nearest target (man) isn't in space i.e. the ball holder doesn't have a clear pass as the nearest target is blocked.
I see this so many times in our games where the ball holder has to find space to pass.
That said the system appears to work, so what do I know!?

We scored from that position

It's just that if you watch 'better' teams, they always have a pass on because their team mates find space!

I know for the life of me I can’t find the tactic on FM to have overlapping centre backs
