We had a few decent wide left players during that period though

Bowen would just over lap them or they came inside to give him space.

I don't think we have any players that read the game well enough to play the Culverhouse role. I think we will go with 3 at the back either when we are chasing the game or with 3 stong defenders probably Hanley-Zimmermann-Gibson

  - 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

  - 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
