Interesting tweets from Sexy B this morning

“ From early on, in pre-season, the plan was to play 3 centre backs.
A lot. With Godfrey pushing slightly forward when in possession. This was going to be used away from home or when Norwich were in the lead.

Farke did it a lot in the Championship to good success.

Yet Farke hasn’t had 3 fit CBs for a run of one game, I don’t think.

So Plan B, even C and D has been used much more than A.

Having Amadou, who could supposedly do both roles - seemed a decent fit but he hasn’t been as advertised.

Whole season’s been on the back foot and a lot of lessons learnt.”
