But why didn't we play 5-3-2 in the first half if we were expecting an
aerial bombardment? We're all agreed that we've got 3 good centre-backs as
long as pace isn't expected from 2 of them, Harding (in place of Richardson)
and Kelly to start and probably Douglas giving way to Blake. Come half time,
you've got 3 substitutes to play with. If you're worried about extra-time
fitness, their forwards and midfield should be more knackered than our
defence and midfield - playing deep as we are......
All goes to prove that hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Tactics seemed to be, sit back and defend the expected aerial bombardment,
when they run out of steam a bit, or get disillusioned then we can change
our formation and push forward. In the meantime we might be able to hit
them on the break or score from a set piece.
Look, we don't know if playing 4-3-3 would have made a jot of difference -
