The edge of the box thing was a feature earlier in the season

I remember the scum game where we kept bringing everyone back in our own 6 yard box and leaving 2 or 3 of their players unmarked on the edge of the box. They nearly caught us out with a couple of routines and a couple of shots after picking up our defensive headers.

We don’t do it in every have though. We seem to change it depending on the opposition. The best I think we’ve defended at home was against Boro when we went man for man and shut out a massively tall side.
