http://www.burnleyexpress.net/sport/football/burnley-fc/talking_tactics_attack_minded_saints_a_threat_1_3800455 A veryinteresting and complementary analysis and accurate in some areas, but I feel it doesn't really portray how the main strength in our attack is variety and flexibility. Still, it's much better than you'd often expect from a local paper.
Interesting that they have analysed our play........surely though they have surmised that we are playing 433? When in fact tend to change the formation as is necessary during play. I E Lambert or Connolly dropping back into the hole to increase between the 40 and 50 yard line the number. Effectively making it a 4.5.1. Still nice to know we have them worried!!
Impressed by their analysis, though they haven't allowed for Adkins changing things to snuff out threats. Never having played the game I have limited knowledge of tactics, but luckily I'm not the manager.
Well it does make the Echo seem a bit "Janet and John" although I wonder if the locals complain that it's not partisan enough!
Agreed, that's very good. One can't accuse that author of lazy [sports] journalism. I'd like to see something as specific as that in the Echo. I won't hold my breath waiting for it though.
