KEY POINTS:
- Lack of wide triangles, this halted positive ball progression down the flanks when in settled possession.
- Reactive rather than pro-active, transition between zonal marking to man to man marking wasn't good enough.
- Frequently 2nd best in duels.
- Abbott being a GIGANTIC miss for both in and out of possession reasons.
- The balance in the final 3rd wasn't optimal, too many players wanting the ball to feet not enough 3rd man runs.
- The goals conceded.
- Positive mentality and team spirit to fight back.
IN POSSESSION:
Wycombe built in a 4-2-4 from goal kicks with Mullins dropping from the 8 to form a situational double pivot with Leahy, this for me is a major improvement on the previous game as throughout the game against Wimbledon we struggled to progress the ball out of the 1st phase.
