Think It Was A 1-4-4-1

John Polston admitted to me that hardly any of them understood it but it worked-it was based on Cully being the '1' behind the back 4 which might, for example, have beeb Mark Bowen plus two centre backs and someone like Newman or Sutch.

  - In Milan we had Sutton & Ekoku playing (NCFC) - mr carra, Nov 9, 16:35:05
    - That was mostly due to players being unavailable though wasn't it (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Nov 9, 16:53:12
  - Yes Culverhouse was definitely sweeper but I don't remember how the others set up (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Nov 9, 15:51:21
    - Zimmerman doesn't have the mobility for it in my eyes (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Nov 9, 15:59:26
      - Of our CB Zimmermann is by far the most mobile, (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Nov 9, 16:19:38
        
        Does anyone play with a sweeper anymore? (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Nov 9, 17:29:26
  - Sounds about right (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Nov 9, 15:46:07
    - This feels right. So basically Cully would step into whichever gap was left by 1 of the 4 (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Nov 9, 15:57:36
      - We've basically been playing an adjustment of that system the previous two years anyway wi (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Nov 9, 17:23:48
        
        That only seems to happen when we're playing out from the back rather than something that (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Nov 9, 20:35:13
      - We had a few decent wide left players during that period though (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Nov 9, 16:27:22
