Duff's adaptation to the red card
I was impressed with Duff's adaptation when we went down to ten men, firstly we moved from our 4-4-2 mid block to a 4-4-1 after the red card with Fred Onyedinma dropping to right back.
We then made some subs and moved to a 4-3-2 shape both in and out of possession with Jack Grimmer moving to RCB as Niall Huggins came on at RB, along with Fred and Cauley Woodrow moving into the front two, it was an easy option to go more passive and revert to a 5-3-1 but we remained positive in our approach despite being a man down.
