We looked to be on our way to grinding out a 1-0 win until Berra made a very rare mistake. We looked so much better when MM switched to a 4-3-3 and introduced Bru. We pegged them back with Varney, Murphy and Sears occupying their back line and Bru pulling the strings in midfield. I should imagine we will keep it tight against Blackburn and retain a 4-4-2 but if we do need to score it's reassuring to know we have that option.

Dare I say it but maybe we would invite less pressure on our own back four by taking the game to the opposition with a 4-3-3. One problem may be that Varney is ineligible against his parent club and we are short on strikers.

Either way, great attendance and atmosphere yesterday! COYB's.
