Yes, although that's more of a tactics point, isn't it?

I would say we're set up there how Wagner wants us to be, he wants aarons wide and up the pitch because there is acres of space. He's happy for Huddersfield to press us on the left because it leaves the right wide open.

It's then a matter of decision making at the crucial moments, which we seem to get wrong far too often.

Although looking at it again, we really are very spread out....

Wagner must be pulling his hair out (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Mar 16, 09:55:25
- To be fair Hanley was also out where you'd expect Aarons to be? (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Mar 16, 11:19:04
  - There are many things that don't look good (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 16, 11:27:24
    - Or Hanley could have come into that huge space to receive the ball easier (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 16, 11:37:14
      - All of those things are right (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 16, 11:47:14

        Yes, that does look like how Wagner wants us to play (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 16, 12:10:12
        
        And here is exactly what I'm trying to say but with diagrams (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 16, 13:14:51
      - Yeah the full backs have to get involved and fill some spaces to receive (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Mar 16, 11:44:11
        
        Or, the CBs have to make better decisions (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 16, 11:49:56
        
        When Andy O get's the ball you can see Kenny with his arm out telling him to pass it back (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Mar 16, 11:53:15
        
        Yes - and that's why Gunn is out of position too when we lose the ball (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 16, 11:57:53
        
        Don’t forget Sara trapping it ten feet 🙄 (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 16, 13:22:10
  - Aarons and Dimi were up on the halfway line where they usually are (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 16, 11:22:14
- Pity we didn't keep PLM or Normann for another season. Both better than Kenny as DMC (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Mar 16, 11:16:09
  - It's a concern that Wagner has identified him as a deep lying playmaker (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 16, 12:00:30
    - We don't have a better option, do we? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 16, 12:02:32
      - There's no obvious option (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 16, 12:14:55
        
        getting the rest of the team used to it for when we buy one? (NCFC) - CWC, Mar 16, 16:39:00
        
        The trouble is Kenny can do it really well sometimes (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 16, 12:27:51
        
        yep, and I think it's a position where you really need consistency (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 16, 12:35:28
- Then stop doing things we can’t afford players to do (n/m) (NCFC) - Mickdundee, Mar 16, 10:43:47
- Thank god Farke isn't in charge (NCFC) - inutero, Mar 16, 10:06:58
  - ... (NCFC) - DrDublin, Mar 16, 10:49:30
  - Black?! Brown wasn't it?! (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 16, 10:28:24
