Based on nothing other than them being the best team to come to BDTBL this season,.
Agree, they are the only side that DEFINITELY deserved to beat us and showed up our shortcomings.
However I believe their victory was totally down to the brilliant tactics of Rosler.
Let's not lose site that we looked a far superior side than Fleetwood.
Yet again we dominated them, we had more possession. More shots on target, more off target and
An endless supply of corners.
Th early stages of the game I felt confident we'd win because they were sitting back, giving us total respect defending in numbers. Then I realised for all our attacking we really struggled to create any chances.
I also noticed that when when Fleetwood counter attacked (which wasn't that often) they broke very quickly and positively in decent numbers and they ALWAYS looked threatening creating all the best chances.
Rosler did a number on us. He let us have midfield but all our wonderful play was in front of their defence and we rarely got round the back and struggled to play through the middle due to too many bodies.
Plan B was playing more direct with crosses and long balls but their central defenders were big and more physical than our lightweight attack so even plan B failed to work.
Would be interesting to play them again because now that we have big James Hanson our plan B of playing more direct putting in crosses looks much more effective.
