And if one's going to go, we'll follow it in behind.
And that's what we didn't do first half.
You know, one went and we just kept getting peeked off.
So obviously, it's a huge mistake from them.
I'm thinking John was going to pass that, and I thought Oli had missed it, actually.
And he just missed a good header just before that.
I think he really should score as well from a header.
But really more on the front foot, getting their heads down and getting up the pitch a little bit more.
We played our up the pitch.
You know, the 2-10s first half, the 2-end centre-half never really stepped into them as much as we possibly can do and be brave of our line.
And we always talk about if we're going to commit to the press, let's go after it.
And if we do get play round, then we'll deal with it.
But we'd rather be like that than the other way.
Yeah, we try to, through the three, play through the three.
With their system today, we should have got Basham and O'Connell out a lot more with Oli and Norwood.
but to be fair, they jumped on him a little bit.
I didn't think, from our point of view, the midfield players were at their best with the ball, gave the ball away cheaply.
They're a lot better than that usually, but the energy that they give us, the structure that they give us to go in this system, if teams are playing free at the back, then one of them have got to go and release onto the centre-half, the third centre-half.
And Flake did that better second half and LundstrΓΆm did that better second half.
But no, the players have been outstanding.
